What Is a Crown?
A porcelain crown is simply a cap that we place over your tooth in our office. This is done to cover up the tooth, restore its size, shape, strength, and improve its overall appearance. Once the crown is cemented into place, it will cover the visible portion of your tooth above the gumline. This will allow you to have a more natural look, while hiding any cracks or other issues that the tooth may have.
Why Do I Need a Dental Crown?
There are several situations where you will need a dental crown. We may recommend a dental crown in order to provide protection for a weakened tooth. The crown can help keep the parts of a cracked tooth together. If your tooth is already broken, or it is really worn down, then a crown can help improve the appearance and make it look natural, as though the tooth has no damage at all. If you have a tooth with a large filling, and there is not much of the tooth left, then the crown is useful as well to help contain further loss.
In addition, our dentists may choose to use a porcelain crown to hold a dental bridge in place or to cover dental implants. They may also use it to conceal discolored or misshapen teeth, or to make any cosmetic modifications necessary.
The type of crown you need will often depend on how much damage has been done to the tooth, and where it is located. Our dentists can discuss the different options with you and determine what type of crown will work for your situation. A dental exam will help us see the extent of the damage done. Once the dental exam is complete, we can make recommendations on whether using a crown is the best option for you. We welcome any questions you may have about your dental crown as well.
A porcelain crown can be a good option to help improve your smile and make your teeth look more natural. Porcelain crowns can be combined with other cosmetic dental services like teeth whitening to transform the look of your smile.
