5 Reasons Why You Need a Dental Crown
Despite your best efforts to maintain your teeth, damage can compromise their integrity. Injuries, teeth grinding, decay, and root canals can damage your teeth and render them incapable of performing their function. Dental crowns in Berwyn, Illinois, encapsulate your tooth to reestablish its function and aesthetics. Westwyn Dental LLC places high-quality dental crowns to restore your teeth to their prime state. Rebuild and revitalize your smile today with dental crowns placed by Drs. Connor Schroyer and Isabella Duarte.
Why you may need a dental crown
A dental crown is a custom-fitted dental appliance worn over the remaining tooth structure to enhance its appearance and structural integrity. Although dental crowns are small restorations, they offer a variety of significant benefits and applications in dentistry.
Our doctor can use dental crowns to:
- Support a dental implant: An implant replaces your tooth by replicating the entire structure, from the root to the crown. The “root” is a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone. This biocompatible fixture fuses with the jawbone to form a durable bond. When replacing a single missing tooth with an implant, a crown serves as the visible part of the new “tooth,” offering a realistic look and optimal function.Â
- Secure a dental bridge: A dental bridge is a quick, minimally invasive solution for replacing missing teeth. It fills mouth gaps with custom-fitted prosthetic teeth (pontic). A traditional bridge uses the natural teeth on either side of the gap as anchors. We reinforce the support teeth with dental crowns to form a stable support system for the bridge. Dental crowns ensure your bridge is solid and doesn’t move when eating, talking, or smiling.Â
- Protect your tooth after a root canal: Root canal therapy (RCT) saves badly damaged or infected teeth by removing the infected tissues to resolve the source of the infection. Unfortunately, this makes your tooth fragile and may fracture without proper reinforcement. A dental crown strengthens your treated tooth to ensure it functions normally again. The root canal-treated tooth can last many years or even a lifetime with proper maintenance.Â
- Enhance aesthetics: Although dental crowns are primarily used in restorative care, they have several uses in cosmetic dentistry. Dental crowns are ideal for misshapen, discolored, or uneven teeth. Porcelain crowns offer a natural-looking improvement, blending seamlessly with neighboring teeth to boost the overall appearance of your smile.
- Restore damaged teeth: Do you have a severely cracked, worn-down, or decayed tooth? Dental extraction may be the only option, but not too soon. A dental cap strengthens the tooth and protects it from further damage. Our dental crowns are long-lasting and last many years with proper maintenance.Â
