What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are designed to improve the function and look of your teeth, giving you back your smile.
At Dentist Millburn, we offer durable, long-lasting dental crowns that not only restore your teeth but also enhance your overall oral health.
- Restores damaged teeth by covering and protecting them
- Improves your smile with a natural, seamless appearance
- Enhances oral function by making chewing and speaking easier
- Boosts self-esteem with a better-looking smile
When Do You Need a Dental Crown?
If you experience any of these issues, a dental crown might be the right treatment for you.
- Have a decayed tooth that cannot be fixed with a filling
- Need to protect a weak tooth from breaking
- Want to cover a discolored or misshapen tooth
- Have a large filling and need additional support for the tooth
- Have undergone root canal therapy, and the tooth needs reinforcement
If you have a damaged, decayed, or misshapen tooth, it can impact both the function of your teeth and your confidence. The damage may make it difficult to chew or speak comfortably, and it can also leave you feeling self-conscious about your smile.
A dental crown will restore the tooth's structure and appearance. It's custom-made to fit over your damaged tooth, providing strength and an improved, natural look.
