We all have the desire to have a gorgeous smile. Unfortunately, most of us weren\u2019t born with one; we need some help from our dental staff. The good news is that there are many options available to improve our smile. If they\u2019re dingy, we can get a good cleaning and whitening treatment<\/a>. If we\u2019re missing teeth, we can get replacements like dentures or implants. When it comes to tooth decay, a simple option for teeth is a dental crown. Not familiar? Here is a quick rundown of the basics. If you find this is the option for you, it\u2019s time to make a dental appointment for a consultation to get that smile you\u2019ve been dreaming of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crowns are a cosmetic restoration used to improve your tooth\u2019s shape or to strengthen a tooth. Crowns are most often used for teeth that are broken, worn, or have portions destroyed by tooth decay<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crowns are \u201ccaps\u201d cemented onto an existing tooth which fully cover the portion of your tooth above the gum line. In effect, the crown becomes your tooth\u2019s new outer surface. Crowns can be made of porcelain, metal, or both. Porcelain crowns are most often preferred because they mimic the translucency of natural teeth and are very strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crowns are often preferable to silver amalgam fillings. Unlike fillings which apply metal directly into your mouth, a crown is fabricated away from your mouth. Your crown is created in a lab from your unique tooth impression which allows a dental laboratory technician to examine all aspects of your bite and jaw movements. Your crown is then sculpted just for you so that your bite and jaw movements function normally once the crown is placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
