Schedule a Dental Crown Procedure Today to Fix Chipped or Cracked Teeth

Our teeth are among our body’s strongest and most resilient biological tools. Most of the time, they can undergo tremendous strain and pressure over their lifetime without failing. However, there are certain situations where one or more teeth may need protection or cosmetic transformation. Our teeth can become worn down due to daily use or conditions like bruxism (teeth grinding). Teeth may develop irregular shapes or become cracked or chipped due to injuries.

Compromised teeth can cause tremendous pain and become more susceptible to infections. But, instead of removing the tooth, there are situations in which a compromised tooth may be saved.

In such cases, it’s essential to see a reliable dental professional immediately to save and even improve your smile. At Gentle Dentistry of Newnan PC, Dr. Ria Sahara and her team offer a safe and effective dental crown procedure that can elevate your smile to its full natural glory.

Restoring Your Smile with Crowns

A tooth isn’t just one bony protrusion but a complex tool of many different parts. The most visible part of a tooth is the “crown.” While the composition of our teeth is a lot stronger than the other bones throughout our body, that doesn’t mean they can’t be compromised. Your dental crown may suffer damage for many reasons, such as:

• Fractures
• Chips
• Cavities
• Severe inflammation
• Deep tooth pulp infection
• Daily wear
• Bruxism (teeth grinding)
• Other types of dental decay

While small cavities can be treated using other kinds of restorations, such as fillings, a dental crown is often the best remedy for larger cavities. These crowns are custom-made in a dental lab using special materials. They are precisely shaped and fitted to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth using materials like ceramics (porcelain) and even metals such as gold.

Larger cavities often necessitate greater support for your tooth. Without the stability supplied by a full crown, your tooth might not be strong enough and may become vulnerable to more damage, leading to complete loss.

Crowns are commonly used after root canal therapy (RCT), which is often the only viable option to save a tooth or teeth with severe infection or inflammation. We use crowns to restore both function and strength to the RCT-treated tooth. 

We can also use crowns to disguise teeth worn down by wear and tear or otherwise misshapen. Crowns are often used for cosmetic purposes to cover up aesthetically unappealing teeth.

In the cases of tooth loss, crowns are commonly used in treatments such as dental implant restoration to provide a false tooth that looks and functions just like your natural teeth.

Crowns are versatile dental tools used to restore and enhance smiles. Dentists use them daily.
