Tooth damage can be structural or cosmetic, and sometimes both. Fortunately, dental crowns in Edmonton, OK, restore teeth and aesthetics.
Whether it’s a tooth at risk for loss or one that is stained, we can help.
What Are Dental Crowns and What Do They Do?
Dental crowns are strong caps cemented over treated teeth. They cover to the gumline and are shaped and colored to look identical to unrestored teeth.
In addition to aesthetically enhancing a tooth, the dental crown creates a safe space between the chewing force and the tooth underneath.
A dental crown is often placed a week or two after a root canal treatment to restore structural integrity. Without the crown, the tooth is at risk for damage.
Your dentist may also suggest a dental crown if you have an advanced cavity that puts the tooth at risk for crumbling or loss. Additionally, we can use a crown to save an injured or broken tooth in some cases.
Cosmetically, a dental crown conceals tooth flaws, everything from small gaps to cracks and worn teeth.
And dental crowns work in tooth replacement by capping the dental implant or connecting bridge teeth to natural teeth.
