What is the Dental Crown?
Dental Crowns are restorations that replace the entire visible and severely damaged tooth structure, whereas a Bridge is an alternate tooth that is held in place by crowns or teeth on both sides.
The surface of the tooth may become so damaged that fillings or other dental techniques are ineffective, yet the root structure underneath the gum remains strong. In this case, the dentist may prepare and file the old tooth before installing the crown on it. The crown will cover the remaining portion of the existing tooth and will be specially designed to match the size and shape of the original healthy tooth. Crowns are made of a variety of materials, and the best material for each patient will be determined by his functional and financial conditions.
Why do I need the crown?
Dental crowns are used when a tooth is too damaged to be filled, or if it is severely fractured or cracked. Crowns are a good solution when the tooth becomes very worn out, or when it is worried that the tooth will break after the treatment of the root canal, because the dentist can save the healthy structure of the teeth positioned on healthy roots, and thus we have a completely new surface that is strong, stable, and durable, as well as maintaining a stable position to your teeth.
Why use a dental crown instead of a filling?
Fillings are used when there is a spot of tooth decay, but sometimes there is a significant damage to the tooth structure even when the filling is properly fixed, and if a large portion of the tooth is damaged, the crown can be used to replace the entire visible surface of the tooth above the gum line.
Why to use a crown instead of a tooth extraction?
The roots of your teeth are deeply embedded in the gums, and your teeth have an impact on the appearance of your face. The crown returns the tooth to its original size and shape while preserving the tooth's and root's health. Extracted teeth leave voids that might lead to improper chewing and change the appearance of your face.
