What Are Dental Crowns?
Crowns are a type of restorative dental care that can drastically improve the appearance of your smile. A crown is like a hard shell that can be placed over an existing tooth. This crown can be designed and created to match your existing teeth.
Crowns are used to cover a severely damaged tooth or a tooth that is misshapen or abnormally sized. A crown can also be used in the event that a large filling must be used. If the tooth has lost a lot of surface area, it may not match the other teeth. The crown can be placed over the tooth following the filling in order to create a more uniform smile.
Who Should Get Crowns?
Crowns for all ages can be used in Vidalia, LA to correct many different types of dental issues. Some of the issues which can be corrected include:
- Broken teeth
- Misshaped teeth
- Abnormally sized teeth
- Decayed teeth
Another problem that can be fixed with crowns is missing teeth. If you are missing a tooth, a crown can be placed on the teeth on either side of the missing tooth. A bridge can then be attached to the crowns, and a false tooth can be attached to the bridge to fill in the gap. This is recommended for patients who are missing teeth but do not wish to have dental implants done surgically.
