5 Ways Crowns Can Be Used to Restore Your Smile
Various factors can impact the beauty of your smile. Your smile looks less appealing when teeth are stained, damaged, malformed, or uneven. This is especially true of front teeth, which play a key role in your smile’s health and beauty. Placing dental crowns on flawed or damaged front teeth can dramatically improve your smile’s appearance.
At Favero Family Dental in Denton, Texas, Drs. K and Stephen Blake Favero offer different types of crowns to suit all dental needs. Here are five ways crowns can be used to restore your smile.
1. Repair Damaged Teeth
A cracked or broken tooth is easy prey for infection or decay, as bacteria can seep through the enamel to infect the pulp. A crown acts like a protective shield around your tooth to keep bacteria at bay. Crowning a damaged tooth reinforces its compromised structure to avert further damage. Crowns can be made of ceramic, porcelain, metal, or a combination of these materials. Ceramic and porcelain crowns closely resemble natural teeth in color and translucency, making them better options for front teeth.
2. Protect Teeth with Large Fillings
Cavities are generally treated with dental fillings. When decay is widespread, a filling alone may not be sufficient to protect your tooth from future decay. Widespread decay will also weaken your tooth, making it more susceptible to cracking. By crowning your tooth, Drs. K and Stephen Blake Favero can protect it from decay and damage in the future.
3. Fortify Teeth After Root Canal Treatment
Root canals help salvage teeth damaged by infection. The infection itself, however, can leave your teeth weak and compromised. Crowning a root canal tooth will bolster its structure to extend its lifespan for the future. There’s less risk of your tooth chipping or cracking with continued use.
4. Improve Your Smile’s Esthetics
Cosmetic crowns help improve your smile’s esthetics. They can be used to cover stained teeth to brighten your smile or alter the size or shape of malformed or odd-sized front teeth to improve your smile’s symmetry. Porcelain crowns are highly customizable and can be made to resemble your natural teeth so closely that no one can tell the difference. Your restorations will fit in beautifully to give your smile a polished finish.
5. Replace Missing Teeth
When paired with dental implants, crowns can be used to replace missing teeth to make a broken smile whole again. The implant is placed inside your jawbone in the gap left by your missing tooth. There, it integrates with your bone tissue to become your tooth’s new root. Once it heals, we’ll attach the crown to restore your lost tooth. The crown is the only part people see when you smile. A dental crown with a single implant offers the perfect remedy if you’re missing a front tooth.
