Crowns are a great cosmetic solution to fix your smile.
While you may have teeth that have been impacted by an accident, dental disease
or decay, crowns can restore the tooth to its original shape and improve the
overall look of your smile.
Dr. Judith Strutz suggests, "Crowns look and feel like your regular teeth." They can come
in multiple colors, depending on your preference, and be made of different
materials. If you are covering a tooth in the front of your mouth your dentist
may recommend a ceramic colored crown that better matches the color of your
other teeth. If the tooth is further back in the mouth, a gold or stainless
steel crown may be recommended.
Crowns improve your bite, which can decrease stress that is
placed on the jawbone. If you have a cracked or weak tooth you may naturally
move food to a different location in the mouth. While this eases up the stress
on one part of the jaw, it causes more stress on other parts, as you are
unevenly utilizing one side of the jawbone.
Crowns can cover a tooth that is cracked or broken. Cracked
and broken teeth can cause you to feel very self-conscious when smiling. Crowns
allow for the teeth to be covered up and return your smile to a more natural
look while protecting the broken or chipped tooth from being damaged further.
