His practice also offers more traditional methods of treatment for his patients including the placement of dental crowns.
Dental crowns are restorations commonly used in both general and cosmetic dentistry. They may be bonded to pontics (false teeth) to fabricate a dental bridge. Some crowns are made to cover a dental implant to act as a false tooth when a single tooth goes missing. Additionally, crowns are placed over natural teeth that may have had their structure compromised. This can happen with large areas of decay. A dentist may be able to provide a filling for the inside of the tooth, but it makes the tooth vulnerable to damage because a majority of the structure is lost. When patients have root canal therapy, they may also benefit from the placement of a dental crown over a tooth to add an extra layer of strength.
Dental crowns are commonly used for teeth for a variety of reasons. They are beautiful, made to match the existing teeth for seamless integration into the dental arch. They are fabricated from porcelain which is a material that closely mimics the appearance and strength of natural tooth enamel. Furthermore, they are affordable and often covered by dental insurance when necessary. Patients find that these restorations will last several years with proper care and attention. Many dental repairs can last a long time as long as patients maintain their oral health and wellness. In fact, many restorations are not needed if dental health is achieved and maintained. Preventative care is incredibly important.
