Can Your Dental Crown Really Look Like A Natural Tooth?

You should be able to count on your dental crown to comfortably take on biting pressures when you eat, and you should expect it to keep your tooth safe from harm. Thanks to the use of modern materials in restorative dental work, you can also look forward to cosmetic support from your crown. Restorations made with porcelain and zirconia are able to mimic the appearance of enamel, so they fit in with the rest of your smile. To ensure they appear natural, your dentist can even match their color to your surrounding teeth! Having access to esthetically pleasing restorative work can reassure patients who are concerned about the long-term effects of cavity treatment. 

Your Crown Should Offer Years Of Reliable Support

A life-like crown can help with your appearance, but you should also count on any restoration you receive to offer functional support. Your dentist can check on the condition of your crown during routine dental exams, so you are made aware of any issues.

Can You Treat A Problem Before You Need A Dental Crown?

Crowns are capable of helping you restore a tooth after a dental injury, and after a more severe cavity. When you have decay caught and treated in time, a crown may be unnecessary. Dental fillings are able to protect your tooth by occupying the site where decay formed. They are not able to provide support for a tooth that has undergone a root canal, or suffered a larger cavity, so they are not always used. However, they can be an ideal form of protection for a tooth in many instances.
