Crowns are dental restorations that restore your teeth’ anatomical and physiological structure. They are used to fill in and repair damage to the chewing surfaces of teeth and to restore or rebuild missing portions of the tooth structure. Crowns Sugar Land are made from a ceramic material with a metal base that holds them in place. The metal base can be made of gold, platinum or titanium.
Benefits of crowns
Help fix discolored teeth
Crowns can help with discolored teeth. Because the tooth covers a larger area, it takes longer for the decay to spread and affect other surrounding teeth. Crowns also help with fissures and cracks on your teeth caused by trauma.
Correct bite problems
Crowns can help fix bite problems which are so common among adults and children, especially children with special needs. These problems include overbite and underbite. A child with an overbite may have a narrower jaw than normal and may also have difficulty opening their mouth fully because of the narrow space between their upper and lower jaws (malocclusion). An experienced East Orlando dentist can provide crowns and other treatments to correct these issues and improve overall oral function.
A child with an underbite may have a wider jaw than normal, making it difficult for them to open their mouth fully to eat or speak. If the bite is not corrected when young, it can lead to speech delay later in life and poor oral hygiene.
Tooth decay
Crowns can also help prevent tooth decay, which is caused by bacteria in plaque that sticks to the surface of your teeth and forms tartar. Tartar is an orange-colored substance that forms on the surface of your teeth and protects them from decay. Tartar can be removed with special brushing techniques or by visiting a dental hygienist who will use equipment such as toothbrushes or handpieces to remove it from the surface of your teeth.
Missing teeth
A missing tooth is often the result of decay or injury that has led to its loss over time. If you have lost a tooth, crowns can be an excellent way to restore the appearance of one or more teeth by replacing their function with porcelain.
Prevent caries and gingivitis
Caries and gingivitis are the most common oral diseases in the United States. If you have one of these conditions, placing a crown on your tooth can help prevent it from becoming more serious or causing more damage to your teeth over time.
Restore your smile
Crowns restore a natural-looking smile that can be as white or dark as you like. Crowns are so comfortable that they’re often preferred over dentures because they don’t interfere with eating or speaking. If you’re happy with your smile now, you’ll probably continue to be happy with it after your new crowns have been made.
They are easy to clean
Dental crowns are made from porcelain, which is much easier to clean than enamel because it doesn’t have any pores or grooves that need to be cleaned out regularly. They also have smooth surfaces, so it’s easy for you to clean them and floss without any issues whatsoever.
Crowns are a common way to restore the appearance of your teeth. They are made of porcelain, meaning they can be thinner and lighter than other materials, making them easier to work with. In addition, crowns are stronger and more durable than the restorative materials used in other types of dental work.
