Several reasons may prompt you to get dental crowns. Some of the reasons may be to fix chipped teeth, protect weak teeth, or improve the general appearance of your dental structure.

Broken Teeth

You may want to consider getting crowns if you have broken teeth. A fractured tooth is susceptible to infection, which may lead to extraction. Broken teeth also tamper with the attractiveness of your smile. Our specialists recommend getting a crown to protect the tooth and avoid further damage to avoid losing your tooth and maintain your beautiful smile.

Tooth Decay

Tooth decay poses a significant threat to your dental health. The decay causes pain and may require extraction. To avoid this, you should make regular visits to the dentist. Our specialists will be able to detect early signs of tooth decay and recommend a root canal procedure after removing the section with the problem. We will then install a crown on the remaining part of the tooth to protect the tooth.

Weak Teeth

Your teeth become progressively weaker as time passes by. This weakening is usually due to several reasons, including wearing down of the teeth enamel due to excessive consumption of acidic drinks. Weak teeth are brittle, and they have difficulty biting and chewing food. Dental crowns will help protect the teeth from further weakening and restore their ability to chew food properly.

Crooked Teeth

If you have crooked teeth, dental crowns are an excellent solution. Dental crowns give teeth a uniform symmetric shape allowing your dental structure to become perfectly aligned. This restructuring dramatically improves the appearance of your smile.

The versatility of the dental caps allows them to be highly effective for cosmetic dental treatment. Please request an appointment with us to have your dental crowns installed by professionals.
