Dental crowns aren’t quite a full on tooth replacement, because they rely on the structure of your existing tooth (or dental implant). They do protect vulnerable teeth while creating an aesthetic replacement however. Your dental crown is placed on top of a damaged or severely weakened tooth. It acts as a sort of shield against future damage, which is incredibly valuable if your existing tooth has been compromised by tooth decay.
Dental crowns are also literally the right fit for you because they’re fabricated using specifications from your mouth. Your dentist will take precise measurements to ensure the crown fits on top of your damaged teeth, and alongside your existing teeth. This way, your bite and the appearance of your smile stay in tact. If you fail to treat the symptoms of severe tooth decay, your problems will only get worse, so don’t hesitate when you need a dental crown.
Dr. Carter and the Elm Creek staff want everyone to feel confident in their teeth.
