Restore Your Smile’s Functionality with Dental Crown Treatment

In an ideal world, everyone would have strong, healthy, functional teeth to enjoy their meals. Unfortunately, tooth damage can occur at any time through accidental injury, impairing your ability to eat. A cracked or broken tooth can be painful to use, and you also risk further damage through biting and chewing. That’s where dental crowns can come in. Crowns are tooth-shaped coverings specifically designed to protect and repair vulnerable teeth. By crowning a compromised tooth, Dr. Varvara Clark can prevent further breakage and restore its functionality. Metal, porcelain, and ceramic crowns are extremely durable, giving you 15 or more years of quality use. 

Here’s what you can expect from dental crown treatment:

1. Improved Biting and Chewing
   

   Structural damage can limit how you use a tooth as there’s always the danger of further breakage. A fractured tooth is also bound to cause pain when you chew. Getting a crown on your tooth can resolve problems with pain and vulnerability as your tooth will have renewed strength and support. A customized crown will fit snugly and comfortably over your tooth to preserve your bite, eliminate pain, and restore your ability to bite and chew. 

2. Protection Against Further Damage
   

   Without intervention, a tooth with structural damage is at risk of further breakage and crumbling. Over time, the damage could become so severe that your tooth will need to be removed. Crowning a compromised tooth will keep it intact to prevent further damage that can lead to premature tooth loss. Crowns are custom-crafted from highly resilient materials like composite resin, metal alloy, porcelain, and ceramic that are designed for long-lasting use.

3. Reinforcement for Weak, Fragile Teeth
   

   Over time, teeth can become weak and fragile due to age-related wear and tear. Dr. Clark may recommend crowning a fragile tooth to minimize the risk of damage. A crown can fortify a weak or fragile tooth to preserve its integrity for future use. In addition, crowns can provide structural support for decayed teeth with large fillings and teeth that have undergone root canal treatment to restore their health, aesthetics, and usefulness. Crowns are highly effective at renewing and preserving vulnerable teeth to save them from extraction.

Tooth damage doesn’t have to destroy your smile’s beauty or functionality. Dental crowns can make your smile like new. You can learn more about crown treatment by contacting Dr. Varvara Clark from Chalfont Dental Care in Chalfont, PA, at (215) 826-3282.
