A tooth crown is an ideal restoration for a tooth that is decayed, fractured, or damaged beyond what a dental filling can repair. We design the crown to fit over your tooth's remaining healthy structure, like a cap, and cover it down to the gumline. This protects your healthy tooth and its root while providing the aesthetics and function you had before your tooth became compromised.
Here are some additional benefits of choosing dental crowns in Annapolis, MD, to restore your smile.
#1 Improved Aesthetics
We can use crowns to cover damaged teeth, but we can also use them to cover misshapen, discolored, or broken teeth to create a more uniform and aesthetic appearance for your smile.
#2 Bite Stability
Dental crowns repair compromised teeth, improving your bite function and stability so you can easily chew and eat the foods you love without compromising your nutrition.
#3 To Strengthen a Tooth That's Had Root Canal Treatment
We can rebuild a tooth with a root canal and a dental crown. Root canal treatment eliminates an infection inside your tooth, preserving its structure but tending to leave it more brittle. Restoring it with a crown ensures you enjoy the same chewing function you had before a tooth infection.
#4 To Support Other Dental Prosthetics
Dental crowns act as anchors to a bridge that supports a prosthetic tooth, replacing a missing tooth. A crown is also the top of a dental implant when we replace a single tooth. Our dentist can custom-shade a porcelain crown or bridge to blend flawlessly with your smile.
#5 Eliminates Decay, Fractures, and Other Damage
A crown eliminates the damage, fractures, and tooth decay that causes infection and other concerns.
