Benefits of dental crowns:
There are several reasons why you might need a dental crown:
-
To protect a weak or damaged tooth: A crown can be used to strengthen a tooth that has been damaged by decay, injury or root canal treated.
-
To support a tooth with a large filling: If a tooth has a large filling, a crown can be used to provide additional support and prevent the tooth from breaking.
-
To restore a broken tooth: A crown can be used to repair a tooth that has been broken or chipped.
-
To cover a dental implant: A crown can be used to cover a dental implant, which is a replacement for a missing tooth.
-
To improve the appearance of a tooth: A crown can be used to improve the appearance of a tooth that is discolored or misshapen.
Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, gold, and composite resin. If you think you may need a dental crown, book your appointment with us at The Lakes clinic to determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs.
