Your smile speaks volumes about you as an individual. If your teeth are in bad shape due to decay, tooth damage, or genetics, porcelain dental crowns can give your smile an aesthetic and functional boost. At John E. Russo, D.M.D. Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer dental crown treatment to our patients in the Orlando, Florida, area. We invite you to get in touch to learn more about the dental crown procedure.

How Crowns Work to Improve Your Smile

Crowns do more than repair chipped or broken teeth. They restore your smile’s original charm and beauty so you can smile confidently and easily. A dental crown is a hollow, tooth-shaped cap Dr. Russo can place over a damaged or decayed tooth to repair and restore its compromised structure. This cap is custom-made in a lab to precisely measure your tooth for a perfect fit. Dental crowns give vulnerable or compromised teeth the structural support they need to keep going strong for the future. Sometimes, a crown may be the last resort to save a damaged or decayed tooth from extraction.

Functionality is just one aspect of your smile. Just as important is your smile’s appearance. Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth can be an eyesore. Porcelain crowns can renew your smile’s esthetics. Dr. Russo can create crowns that replicate your natural teeth’ color, shape, and texture, making them indistinguishable from your real teeth when you smile.

There’s no better restoration for improving the quality and integrity of vulnerable or compromised teeth than dental crowns. Here are just a few ways crowns can benefit you:

Repair Tooth Damage: Tooth damage can hurt your smile’s look and function. It’s hard to hide teeth that are chipped, cracked, or broken. A crown will give your tooth a stronger structure that’s both attractive and functional, making it look new.
Protect Fragile Teeth: Dental crowns can protect fragile teeth that are at risk of chipping or fracturing due to their weakened state. This could be teeth with large fillings or teeth that have had root canals and need extra support.
Restore Worn Teeth: Bruxism can make teeth look old and worn before their time. If you constantly grind your teeth in your sleep, you may also have a problem with sensitivity. By crowning worn teeth, Dr. Russo can correct both of these issues and give your smile a younger-looking appearance.
Conceal Imperfections: You may have stained, misshapen, or odd-sized teeth that stand out in your smile, ruining its symmetry. Dental crowns can improve the size and shape of irregular teeth to make your grin more uniform and even.
Replace Missing Teeth: Crowns can be used to replace missing teeth, coupled with single dental implants, to make your smile healthy and whole again.
