After years of constant use, it’s only natural for your teeth to suffer wear and tear or damage. Worn teeth are more likely to develop cavities, chips, and cracks from biting and chewing. Crowning worn teeth is one of the best ways to keep them strong and healthy for the future. You can learn more about getting dental crowns at Gomez Family Dentistry in Pensacola, Florida.
Dental crowns are porcelain, ceramic, or metal “caps” used to cover teeth that are worn or structurally damaged. The crown covers the visible part of your tooth, clears down to the gum line, and replaces its worn or broken structure with one that’s strong and new. Dental crowns act like shields to protect your teeth from decay, infection, sensitivity, or breakage. Dr. Gomez will customize your crown to fit in with the rest of your smile naturally.
Getting a crown is fairly simple, although it can take several weeks. Dr. Gomez will evaluate your tooth to determine if a crown is the best treatment option. If so, we’ll prepare your tooth by filing it down to make room for a crown. We’ll then take and send impressions of your tooth to a lab, where crowns are custom-made for our patients. When your crown is ready, we’ll schedule a second appointment for placement. Your tooth will then be prepared for use.
If you’re wondering if dental crowns are worth the cost, consider the benefits that crowns have to offer your pearly whites:
