Why is a Dental Crown required?
Naturally, teeth are very strong and can withstand vast amounts of pressure while we put them to use. Even though teeth are strong, due to decay, bacteria and other conditions we may require fillings or other dental work that can compromise the structure of our teeth. In many cases, a tooth will require a large surface filling meaning that the tooth has more damaged surface that needs to be restored.
Once this surface has been restored, it is no longer our natural tooth but filling material. Teeth with large fillings are weaker simply because there is less tooth and more filling. These teeth are usually recommended to have “caps” or crowns placed over top to maintain the strength of those teeth. Crowns can be created in different materials such as porcelain which is the most common, metal or gold. Porcelain is the most popular due to the natural tooth color appearance it provides.
Regular dental visits help detect issues early, ensuring optimal oral health and preventing major problems.
Our thorough cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
We use high-quality, tooth-colored fillings to restore damaged teeth and protect them from further decay.
When necessary, we perform extractions safely and comfortably to maintain overall dental health.
