7 Reasons to Consider Dental Crown Services
Dental crowns are protective coverings that play a key role in repairing, restoring, and preserving your smile. At Gomez Family Dentistry in Pensacola, Florida, dental crown services serve multiple purposes. If you’re wondering if crown treatment is right for you, consider the following reasons for getting a crown:
1. Repair Damaged Teeth
Damaged teeth pose a risk to overall oral health. Broken teeth impact how you chew. They’re also prone to decay and infection, putting healthy teeth at risk. Dental crowns repair damaged teeth and prevent further deterioration, restoring their usefulness while crowns strengthen your entire smile.
2. Restore Tooth Appearance
Porcelain and ceramic crowns are specially designed to look like real teeth. Drs. Gina and Christopher Gomez can create a crown that matches your natural teeth in shape, texture, and color, enabling it to blend in effortlessly with your smile. Through crown treatment, we can restore your smile’s aesthetic appeal.

3. Eliminate Sensitivity & Painful Chewing
Worn and damaged teeth are more sensitive to temperature changes in your mouth due to cracks and chips in their enamel. This can cause pain or discomfort when consuming hot or cold beverages and foods. A crown gives your tooth a whole new structure for biting and chewing to eliminate sensitivity and pain. Once the crown is in place, your tooth will function like new.
3. Long-term Protection
A quality porcelain or ceramic crown can last up to 15 years, with good oral care. Metal crowns have been known to last a lifetime! Crowns are designed for long-lasting protection and use.

4. Fortify Root Canal Teeth
A root canal is a procedure used to save a severely decayed or infected tooth by removing its diseased pulp. The structure of your tooth remains intact, but in a fragile state. Crowning a root canal tooth reinforces its weakened structure so it can continue to be used.
5. Prevent Future Infection & Decay
Encasing a tooth in a crown seals it from future infection and decay. The crown covers your tooth all the way to the gumline to keep out bacteria and debris that can cause cavities or gum disease. Your tooth stays stronger and healthier over its lifespan, saving you money on future dental treatments.
6. Replace Lost Teeth
Dental crowns work in conjunction with single-tooth implants to replace teeth lost to injury, decay, or gum disease. Once attached to the implant, the crown functions as a replacement tooth, restoring your smile’s functionality and appearance.
7. Easy Maintenance & Care
Crowns are easy to care for as they’re brushed and flossed just like real teeth. Daily brushing and flossing, along with routine dental cleanings, are all that crowns need to stay strong and healthy year after year.
