Have you been longing to get that misshapen tooth restored for a long time now? Or, do you have severely worn out or weak teeth that need to be treated? In such cases, the first thought that comes to mind is a dental crown. Crowns have been around for many decades now and are among the most widely used dental restorations, owing to their superior properties. At Stonewater Dentistry, we will thoroughly assess your oral condition and suggest the best treatment to address it.
Restoring damaged teeth:Although the enamel is the strongest substance in the human body, it could break/crack under severe forces or extreme stress. This can leave the teeth cracked, chipped, or broken. It is best to get such teeth restored at the earliest to avoid the condition from becoming severe, which could lead to tooth loss. Placing a crown on such teeth helps to restore them to their ideal structure, functionality, and aesthetics.
Re-contouring misshapen teeth:The teeth could be naturally misshapen, which ruins the appearance of the smile and may lead to frequent embarrassment. Misshapen teeth also affect the ability to bite and chew food, which could affect the TMJ joints in the long run. Hence, we restore both oral aesthetics and functionality using dental crowns.
Eliminate excess spaces: Spacing is a type of malocclusion characterized by excessive gaps between adjacent teeth. They upset oral aesthetics and can make the malocclusion worse. Ceramic crowns can be bonded to the teeth to make them appear evenly spaced and eliminate the displeasing gaps.
Support weak or worn out teeth:Teeth that are weak or severely worn out could crack or crumble under severe stress or high impact forces. Worn out teeth will have lost the biting surfaces, due to which biting and chewing food would be quite uncomfortable. In some instances, teeth that have been treated for a root canal infection would be extremely weak and require support to stay intact. This can be provided by a dental crown, as it offers excellent strength and longevity.
