A healthy, beautiful smile is everyone’s dream. However, there are times when decay and dental injuries can compromise the esthetic appeal of your smile. Teeth that are stained or irregular in size or shape can also detract from your smile’s beauty. These problems and more can be corrected with dental crowns. Crowns are tooth-shaped caps that Dr. Jamie Richard or Dr. Christina VerSchave can fit over your teeth to improve their shape, structure, and appearance. You can obtain crown treatment at Dentistry at Golden Ridge in Golden, Colorado.
It only takes one damaged or imperfect tooth to throw your smile off-balance. Dental crowns can fix your teeth structurally and cosmetically to boost your smile’s appeal. Here are a few ways in which crowns can transform your smile:
Repairing damaged teeth is one of the primary uses of dental crowns. A fractured or broken tooth is unpleasant to look at and can be painful, too! By placing a crown on a cracked or broken tooth, Dr. Richard or Dr. VerSchave can repair the damage and enhance the tooth’s aesthetics. The crown will give your tooth a sturdy, new structure free of chips, cracks, and other damage that compromises its health and beauty. When used for fractured tooth repair, dental crowns can relieve your pain and make your tooth whole and useful again.
The doctors may recommend crowning a weak or worn tooth that’s at risk of chipping or cracking in the future. Rather than wait for the damage to occur, a crown can be used as a preventative measure to keep your tooth and smile intact. Our team will craft a porcelain or ceramic crown that naturally blends with your smile to maintain its aesthetic appeal. A dental crown can also top a tooth undergoing root canal therapy to restore its original shape and appearance.
Dental crowns can conceal imperfections in your smile that detract from its overall appearance. For example, a stained or discolored front tooth can really stand out, making your entire smile look dingy. Covering this tooth with a crown will restore your smile’s radiance and beauty. Crowning malformed or irregularly sized teeth will help them fit in better with adjacent teeth, making your smile more uniform and pleasing. Cosmetic dental crowns can play a key role in improving your smile’s esthetics.
Crowns can also preserve your dental health by preventing additional oral health issues. Crowns form a protective seal around compromised teeth to protect them from infection and decay. They support weak teeth to keep them from becoming loose and shifting out of alignment. By crowning teeth with severe structural damage or decay, our team can save them from extraction to prevent premature loss of natural teeth.
