Why should I get dental implants for a better smile?

Dental crowns are teeth restorations that help in protecting damaged, broken or cracked teeth. A tooth crown offers strength to the damaged teeth, thus protecting its functionality. Dental crowns or porcelain crowns are also known as caps as they are placed on your damaged tooth covering the entire surface. 

Why will I need crowns?

• When your tooth is experiencing significant decay, it does not have enough tooth structure to support fillings and maintain functioning.
• If the considerable portion of your teeth is suffering a fracture, and it is impossible to build it using traditional composite bonding procedures. 
• If you have a missing tooth and you get dental implants, a crown will be placed on the abutment of the implant.
• You may need a dental crown after root canal treatment to offer strength to the tooth.
• If you are a teeth grinder and you keep a poor diet, your teeth will get reduced due to acid erosion to that point where the only option is to get crown.
• Even for cosmetic reasons, you may need a crown to improve the aesthetics of your smile.

Is dental crown always the ideal option?

A dental crown must not be the first preference to improve the aesthetics of your smile. Crowns are best suitable when tooth strength that supports restoration is compromised. 

Do crowns last long?

The lasting capacity of crowns depends mostly on how well you take care of them. They need the same type of care that you offer to your natural teeth. If you maintain your oral hygiene to its best, a dental crown may last for about 10 to 15 years.
