We all recognize that the appearance and health of our smile play a pivotal role in our self-esteem, confidence, and overall well-being. Fortunately, thanks to advancements in dentistry, it is now possible to transform even the most challenging smiles, rendering them stunning, vibrant, and radiant.
Whether you're dealing with a minor imperfection in a single tooth or multiple teeth exhibiting noticeable flaws, your dentist can offer solutions to attain aesthetically pleasing, durable, and healthy results.
When a filling just won’t do
Dental crowns and caps are terms used interchangeably. When dental issues such as decay, cracked fillings, root canals, or teeth clenching and grinding cause significant damage to the tooth structure, a dental filling may prove insufficient for restoration. In such cases, a dental crown is often necessary to fully restore the tooth's appearance and function. The positive aspect is that once completed, a dental crown looks and feels like a natural tooth.
Beyond the restoration of a single natural tooth, dental crowns serve various purposes. They can provide support for dental bridges, cover dental implants, or safeguard a cracked tooth from further damage. Additionally, a crown may be utilized to restore the natural appearance of a discolored or stained tooth. Crowns can be crafted from materials such as porcelain baked onto a metal substrate, all-porcelain, or various new ceramic materials that have been developed.
