How A Dental Crown Can Help You
Cavities – If a cavity is too large or severe to be filled, the affected part of the tooth can be removed and a crown placed over it. This makes your tooth look healthy, while protecting what is left of the original tooth.
Following a Root Canal – If you have had to undergo a root canal, your tooth may have been left brittle and weakened because of being cut off from the blood supply and nerve. In order to protect a tooth that has undergone a root canal, a crown may be necessary. This is a particular important treatment for premolars and molars because they are relied on more than other teeth and exert muscular force.
Cosmetic Purposes – You may want to use a crown to improve the appearance of your smile but a veneer wouldn’t be practical or possible. If you have a tooth that has severe decay or has been fractured, or you grind your teeth, crowns are the more practical and durable option than veneers.
To Build Up an Abutment Tooth
Used as a connector for a bridge or removal partial denture, an abutment tooth serves an important purpose. If the original tooth is needed as a connector but it is not strong enough or large enough, a crown can be added on to give the additional support that is needed for an abutment tooth. These crowns are referred to as surveyor crowns.
Regardless of your need for a crown, Dr. Parul Mehta & Associates will make sure you get the right crown for your particular situation. An award-winning family and cosmetic dentistry practice, we create beautiful smiles for patients of all ages. We are the experts when it comes to crowns.
