The question has often been posed if a dental crown can save a dying tooth. Do you know what the advantages of dental crowns are? Even though dental crowns cannot instantly bring dead teeth back to life, they can guard many types damaged teeth from further damage and can often reverse or eradicate the need for teeth extractions. However, the effectiveness of a dental crown often depends on the condition a tooth is in.
A tooth can be injured and broken a variety of ways. Teeth can be worn down over time. They can result in the loss of tooth enamel due to decay. Teeth can easily be damaged due to foods, physical ailments, sports, or oral accidents. However, with many of these accidents, dental crowns can still protect your teeth and prevent further damage from occurring to your teeth and can save a tooth from a tooth extraction.
There is a wide assortment of dental procedures that may not mesh well with your other teeth, or they no longer present the desired look you are hoping for, including dental fillings, dental implants, or root canals. Even if you have a dental filling that will not work effectively because there is not enough tooth left to support a filling, a crown can be inserted over top the tooth and the filling to seal the tooth and allowing the filling to function as intended.
With dental crowns, your smile will not only look better, but it can be healthier too. If you would like to meet with Dr. Robert R.
