If your dentist recommends dental crown treatment, it’s undoubtedly to improve your smile’s health, function, or beauty. Crowns have multiple uses in dentistry, all of which benefit your teeth in some way. Dr. John Russo, DMD, is your go-to dentist for crowns in the Orlando, Florida, area. Crowning vulnerable teeth will infuse new life into your smile!
Here are some of the benefits you stand to gain from dental crowns.
Porcelain crowns serve as protective coverings for broken teeth to keep them from sustaining further damage. They repair and strengthen your teeth to restore their functionality. By customizing your crown, Dr. Russo can give it a natural appearance to restore your smile’s appearance as well. Broken teeth can be made new again with dental crowns.
Large fillings can weaken your tooth structure, making it prone to cavities or breakage. Crowns provide extra protection for severely filled or decayed teeth to keep them strong and intact.
A missing tooth in the back of your mouth isn’t so obvious. But losing a front tooth will leave a gaping hole for all to see. Dr. Russo can fill that hole with a single tooth implant topped with a porcelain dental crown. When used to replace missing teeth, implant crowns can restore your smile’s function and beauty.
When your teeth are the same size and color, your smile appears uniform and balanced. Unfortunately, some of us have discolored or irregular teeth that throw off our smile’s symmetry. With dental crowns, Dr. Russo can make these teeth match the rest of your smile. Crowning discolored or misshapen teeth will bolster your smile’s aesthetic appeal.
Crowning worn, decayed, or damaged teeth strengthens them for biting and chewing. You’ll be able to eat without pain or fear of further damage to your tooth. Porcelain crowns can fully withstand the forces of biting and chewing. They’ll give you years of quality use with proper tooth crown care.
It’s natural for teeth to weaken over the years due to age, wear and tear, and decay. A worn tooth is more susceptible to further breakage. A custom-fitted crown will rebuild and protect your tooth to prevent more damage from occurring.
Dental crowns can be used to salvage compromised teeth to avoid having them removed due to fractures or cavities. Saving natural teeth with crowns helps preserve your smile. You also save the cost of extraction and replacing your tooth later.
