Porcelain Crowns​
A weak or damaged tooth can cause an array of issues for your smile and oral health alike. Biting function in the affected region can become uncomfortable, or even painful, and the impaired tooth can face a greater risk of bacteria buildup, decay, and infection. If you have a damaged tooth, dental crowns are considered a steadfast solution to repair a wide range of dental problems, including cracks and/or deterioration of the tooth structure caused by decay. These restorations are placed for countless patients every day to protect the tooth and restore pain-free biting function.
Dental crowns are strong dental coverings placed to fix and reinforce a damaged tooth while restoring the full integrity of one’s bite. Think of a dental crown as a protective “cap” that fits comfortably over your natural tooth. They can be used to strengthen individual teeth, anchor a dental bridge, support a tooth after a root canal, or top a dental implant. At any rate, dental crowns can serve a wide range of functions related to bolstering the strength of a tooth and/or protecting a damaged tooth from further harm.
