As we age, there are many factors that can lead to defects on the surface of a tooth. Cracked, broken, decayed, or worn teeth can be restored to a natural-looking, healthy state with dental crowns. A dental Crown is a type of restoration that covers the entire visible surface of a tooth to protect it from further damage and preserve correct jaw alignment.
A dental crown may be deemed appropriate for one or perhaps all of the following reasons:
Designed to fit snugly and function as normal teeth, crowns may be made with precious metal, porcelain pressed to metal, and all-porcelain, each very effective. For strength and aesthetic purposes, Dr. Barton often recommends all-ceramic crowns for their precise color matching systems and durability.
In most cases, we can design and fit crowns in two short appointments. Once they're on, caring for them is no different than proper hygiene for your other teeth. Conscientious, twice-daily brushing and daily flossing will help protect the base from bacterial growth, and regular visits to our office for professional cleanings will help ensure long-term proper function and durability.
