Living with damaged teeth simply isn’t an option. Cracked or broken teeth will affect how you chew, which can cause you to forgo certain foods. They detract from your smile, making you feel self-conscious about your appearance. Damaged teeth are also prone to decay and infection, derailing oral health. An unattractive, unhealthy, dysfunctional smile will lower your quality of life. At Rolling Oaks Dental in Garden Ridge, Texas, we can resolve these issues permanently with dental crowns for your teeth.
Generally, teeth are strong, resilient, and capable of handling a lot of pressure from biting and chewing. But they’re not indestructible. Dental trauma can lead to chipped or broken teeth. A weak tooth can crack when you bite into hard food. Worn and decayed teeth are prone to breakage and crumbling. Crowns are dental restorations that help repair teeth compromised by damage, wear and tear, or decay. By crowning a compromised tooth, Dr. Larry Dougherty can make it look and function like new. Dental crowns are cemented in place permanently to offer long-term protection for damaged teeth.
Crowns are dental restorations designed to strengthen a tooth’s weakened structure. They are typically made of durable materials such as metal, ceramic, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. A crown is custom-designed to completely cover the visible part of a tooth to the gum line. Doing so provides support to a tooth that has become weak or worn due to decay, injury, or other factors. Not only does a crown help to keep a compromised tooth intact, but it also protects it from future decay and damage.
Crowning damaged teeth can restore their function, making them whole and functional again. You can bite and chew confidently, knowing your crowned tooth can handle it. If you need to crown a back tooth, such as a molar, that does a lot of chewing; we recommend using zirconia crowns or eMax crowns. These crowns are highly durable and can withstand years of biting and chewing.
Porcelain crowns can significantly enhance the appearance of your teeth. They have a natural tooth-colored appearance that blends well with your other teeth. When a customized porcelain crown is placed on your tooth, it looks so similar to a natural tooth that it is barely noticeable. Porcelain crowns can cover up any damage, imperfections, or irregularities on your tooth to improve the overall aesthetic of your smile.
Dental crown treatment can help you keep teeth that are weak, broken, or damaged by decay. Crowns provide reinforcement and stability, giving damaged teeth a new lease on life. In just two dental visits, porcelain crowns can transform compromised teeth into highly functional ones. By restoring vulnerable teeth, you can avoid having to extract them, thus preserving the integrity of your smile.
