Dental Restorations restore the function, integrity, and morphology of missing tooth structure, which can be caused by caries or external trauma, such as chipping or cracking a tooth.
What is a crown?
A crown is a restoration that covers (or "caps") a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, which can strengthen and improve the appearance of the tooth....A crown can protect a weak tooth from fracturing; it can also prevent a cracked tooth from further damage.
Will a crown look natural?
It can, depending on the type of crown you elect to have made....A crown can look just like a natural tooth when it is made with porcelain coverage.
How should I care for my teeth after I receive a crown?
To prevent damaging or fracturing the crown, avoid chewing extremely hard foods and ice. You should also avoid grinding or clenching your teeth. In addition to brushing twice a day and visiting your dentist regularly, cleaning between your teeth is essential if you have crowns.
What do I do if I am still confused about these procedures?
If you are still unclear about the process of placing a crown or a post and core build-up, speak to your dentist.
