Crowns are restorations used to repair a tooth to its original appearance and strengthen it to full functionality. A crown is a tooth-shaped cover for a damaged tooth and it surrounds the entire visible portion of a tooth. The crowns can be made from metal, gold, ceramic, porcelain fused to metal, resin, and porcelain.
Book NowCrowns are used to make dental bridges. Bridges are built of artificial teeth attached to crowns on either end to replace missing teeth. The crown portions of the bridge support the restoration securely, preventing it from moving when you chew. Crowns are also connected to dental implants, the newest tooth restoration option.
The loss of one or more teeth or damage to a tooth can make it hard to chew. When it's hard to bite or chew fruits, vegetables, or meat, you may avoid these healthy foods, which may ultimately cause nutritional deficiencies. A crown, bridge, or dental implant help to make chewing more manageable and just may keep you strong and healthy.
Crowns are used to protect and stabilize fragile teeth that have become weaker due to cracks, trauma, aging, large fillings, or root canal therapy.
Dental veneers are thin, wafer-like restorations that we place on the front surface of your teeth to address problems like slightly cracked teeth, misshapen teeth, gaps between teeth, or severely discolored teeth. If maintained properly, dental veneers may last for up to 20 years.
Many people take their smiles for granted until they face a problem with their teeth. Even a minor defect in your smile can make you feel more than a little self-conscious. Crowns and bridges help restore or enhance your appearance and help you feel better about your smile.
At One Health Dental, we may recommend a crown if you have a discolored tooth or want to change the shape or length of a tooth. Bridges and crowns connected to dental implants fill the gaps in your teeth, thus renovating your smile.
