Restoring Smile Problems By Placing Dental Crowns
It can be frustrating to know that a vulnerable tooth is going to require permanent support. This is part of why cavities are so concerning – every bit of damage done by decay will be irreversible. Dental damage can also make restorative dental treatment necessary, as a chipped or cracked tooth cannot repair itself. Fortunately, your Allen, TX dentist can use a dental crown to provide protection that looks great, and helps you guard your tooth against further troubles. A crown will cover the entire tooth above your gum line. Once your dentist has it secured, you can feel confident in your ability to bite and chew food, and comfortable with how you look when you smile. (more…)

Carefully Studying The Health Of Your Smile At Every Exam
