Dental crowns are a highly effective solution for restoring teeth that have suffered significant damage due to decay, injury, or wear. When a large portion of the tooth structure is lost, a crown can help regain both esthetics and function by completely covering the affected tooth.
As the Miss Endo Dental Team, we believe that even if your teeth have lost their structural integrity, well-applied dental crowns can restore them to their best version in terms of both esthetics and function
Benefits of Dental Crowns
💫Crowns restore the tooth’s ability to bite and chew effectively.
💫They enhance the appearance of damaged or discolored teeth, providing a natural look.
💫Crowns add strength and protection to weak or cracked teeth, preventing further damage.
💫Made from strong materials like Emax and zirconia, crowns can last many years with proper care.
💫They can be used after root canals, to restore dental implants, or to cover large fillings.
Who Is Not Suitable for Dental Crowns?
While dental crowns are a great solution for many, they may not be suitable for everyone. Here are some circumstances where crowns may not be ideal:
1. Insufficient Tooth Structure: If there’s not enough healthy tooth left to support a crown, the procedure may not be viable.
2. Untreated Gum Disease: Patients with active gum disease must address the condition before receiving a crown.
3. Severe Tooth Decay Below the Gum Line: Decay that extends deep below the gum line can compromise the success of a crown.
In such cases, other treatments like extractions may be necessary, after which a bridge or dental implant can be applied.
To place a crown, the tooth must be reshaped by shaving it down, making this an irreversible procedure. Therefore, the material selection and treatment plan must be done carefully and in detail before beginning. As the Miss Endo dental team, we guide you in the best way to enhance your smile while also prioritizing your health.
There are two types of materials commonly used for crowns: E-max and zirconium
