If you have an injured or damaged tooth, there are multiple treatment options available. One option is to go with a tooth-colored crown. Porcelain dental crowns are a popular treatment option for a variety of dental concerns. What are some of the top benefits of using dental crowns to address oral health issues?
One of the first benefits of dental crowns is that they are a very straightforward procedure. Placing dental crowns is minimally invasive and relatively simple. First, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any damage to tissue and getting rid of tooth decay. Then, the dentist will take impressions of your tooth to build a crown for that specific tooth.
The impressions are sent to a local laboratory to make the crown, and the tooth will be covered with a temporary crown in the meantime. Then, when the customized crown is ready, you will be called back to the office, and the dentist will bond it in place. The whole procedure takes just a few minutes.
Dental crowns are also an effective treatment option because they can be used to alleviate discomfort. As a restorative treatment, they can address structural damage or enamel loss. These problems can lead to significant pain and discomfort including sensitivity to hot or cold.
After a dentist addresses the issue using a filling or root canal, they can cover the remaining portion of the tooth using a dental crown. Protecting your tooth with a dental crown should minimize discomfort and tooth sensitivity issues.
A dental crown is also customized to meet your specific needs. Every tooth is different, and your mouth’s structure differs from anyone else’s. To get the most out of your dental crown, it must be customized to match the size, shape, and color of your surrounding teeth.
Your dentist can customize the crown to meet your needs. They are designed to protect and restore damaged teeth, but it is also meant to provide you with cosmetic benefits. A dental crown fits over the existing, natural tooth and can quickly correct any cracks, chips, breaks, or shaping issues that might be present. Therefore, a dental crown can also address cosmetic goals in addition to providing you with functional benefits.
