The type of restorative treatment needed will depend on the type of damage that has occurred to your smile. Dental crowns may be used for patients that have:
- Worn-down or sensitive teeth
- Chipped or cracked a tooth
- Dental implants or bridges
- And more
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that will cover the area that has been damaged. The goal for this restoration is to blend in with your smile while offering better support to the area.
Zirconia Crowns Offer A Natural Appearance
There are many options available for dental crowns, and the material chosen depends on many factors. In our office, we use zirconia crowns because of the many benefits it offers. Zirconia is a biocompatible material made of white ceramic. It is highly durable and will be able to withstand pressure from chewing. It will also match the color of your natural teeth, so you can feel confident knowing that your restoration will appear lifelike.
This Restoration Can Protect Your Teeth After Damage
Your crown will be custom-created to fit your smile precisely. Impressions will be taken of your smile and sent to the lab to craft your restoration. When it is ready, it will be secured in place and may last around ten years with the proper care. After having this treatment performed, functions such as chewing, talking, and showing off your smile may be improved.
