Do you have a missing tooth? Are you dealing with a cracked or chipped tooth? Do you wonder what you can do to attain the radiant, beautiful smile you dream of? If you are, there are several options you should consider, including a dental crown.
As you may know, dental crowns—which are sometimes referred to as caps—are a restoration used to cover a cracked, broken, or weakened tooth. Crowns can also be used to finish other dental restorations such as implants or a bridge, or to cover a tooth that’s had root canal therapy.
Crowns are also designed to match the appearance of your smile. In fact, your crown will be specifically shaped to match the size, shape, and color of your smile. In other words, crowns are designed to blend with your natural teeth.
Fortunately, crowns are designed to be both attractive and functional. You see, if you have a broken or cracked tooth, you may struggle to chew and eat comfortably. Similarly, you could cause more damage to your tooth, which can leave your smile more vulnerable to infection.
