What is a crown?
A crown is a cap that fits over a damaged tooth. It may be recommended if you have a tooth that is weak from decay, a tooth that is worn down or misshapen, or if you’ve had a root canal.
The benefits of crowns
Here are some reasons to consider dental crowns:
1. They can save you a lot of pain, time, and money in the future. A tooth that is damaged allows bacteria to get into the tooth, which can lead to an infection. This can be incredibly painful, and you might need a root canal to clean out the infected tooth pulp. A crown can protect your tooth from further damage.
2. They look just like your other teeth. Crowns look just as natural as your other teeth, and no one will be able to tell you have one. They also feel very natural and they are as easy to take care of as your natural teeth – just brush and floss as you usually do.
3. They can correct damage so your teeth look great. A crown can fit over a misshapen tooth or a tooth that is so discolored that the stains just won’t come off no matter what you do.
4. They can help you to enjoy life again. You may be going out of your way to avoid chewing on the tooth that is damaged because it is starting to get painful, which is no way to live. A crown repairs the tooth so that you can enjoy eating once again!
