A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a tooth, commonly used to address a few different dental issues. Keep reading this blog post to learn why you might need a dental crown.

When Are Dental Crowns Needed?

There are a number of dental problems that can be remedied by the insertion of a dental crown, including:

• Protecting a broken or cracked tooth

• Protecting a worn tooth

• Supporting a dental bridge

• Masking an oddly shaped or discolored tooth

• Covering a dental implant

• Covering a large filling

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Now that you know when dental crowns are used, here’s why they can be a great option for tooth restoration. Dental crowns are custom-made, which means that they are designed to fit perfectly into your mouth, allowing for a seamless fit. You won’t have to worry about your crown disrupting the way you talk and eat. Not only that, crowns look natural too!

Alternatives to Dental Crowns

Ultimately, your dentist will be able to let you know what is the best restorative solution for your situation. Sometimes, a crown won’t be the solution they have in mind. Fillings, implants, and root canals are just some of the solutions we offer that can address some of the same or similar issues that crowns address.
