At some point, you may have to deal with teeth compromised by age, decay, or damage. With dental crowns, we can restore these teeth like new ones. Teeth crowns are custom caps that fit over weak, decayed, or damaged teeth to make them whole and healthy again. If you live in or near Scottsdale, Arizona, you can contact Drs. Terry Peterson and Stephanie Troglin from Brilliant Smiles Dentistry to learn more about crown treatment.
Understanding how crowns work can help you decide if this treatment is for you. Here are some of the benefits of choosing dental crowns to restore your smile:
Placing crowns on worn, decayed, or damaged teeth strengthens them. The crown will completely cover your tooth, reinforcing its weak or compromised structure. Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth can be made whole again with dental crowns. Dental crowns can extend the lifespan of vulnerable teeth by replacing their old, damaged structure with a new porcelain, ceramic, or metal structure that’s strong and enduring.
Your teeth were designed for biting and chewing. Decay or accidental damage can compromise their usefulness. Crowns take on the brunt of biting and chewing to restore full tooth functionality. With porcelain crowns, you’ll have no trouble munching comfortably on crispy, crunchy, or chewy foods! Once our dentist cements your crown, your teeth are good to go!
A damaged tooth will likely cause pain or discomfort when you bite and chew. Chipped or cracked teeth are more sensitive to hot and cold foods and drinks. Dental crowns act like shields of armor around damaged teeth to keep them safe from outside forces that cause pain and discomfort. By crowning compromised teeth, we can minimize pain and sensitivity.
When teeth go missing, your smile is incomplete. Dental crowns can be paired with implants to replace missing teeth, making your smile full and healthy again. Dental crowns can also support a fixed bridge, filling the gap left by multiple missing teeth to complete your grin.
Dental crowns can improve the size or shape of your teeth to improve your smile’s esthetics. By crowning misshapen or odd-sized teeth, we can give your smile a consistent, uniform appearance. We’ll customize your porcelain crowns to closely resemble your natural teeth so no one can tell the difference. Your smile will have an authentic, natural-looking appearance.
Crowning a tooth gives it extra protection against decay and future damage. Once cemented in place, porcelain crowns become a permanent part of your smile, removable only by a dentist. With proper care, you can benefit from their strength, protection, and beauty for many years!
