Missing one or more teeth can impact your daily life—whether it’s your confidence or how you eat. But what many people don’t realize is that missing teeth can also affect your oral health, smile alignment, and jaw health.
Dental crowns are one of the most effective ways to restore the function and appearance of your teeth. Contact Evolve Dental Care to schedule your consultation and take the first step toward getting your smile back on track.
Contact UsWhat Is a Crown?
The crown of your tooth is the part you can see. It is the visible biting surface of each tooth. Your crown is quite amazing because it takes on a lot of stress when biting, chewing, speaking, and everything else that you participate in every day.
It’s able to handle this because of a tough outer layer called enamel. Enamel does a great job protecting the softer inner parts of your teeth. In fact, it’s the hardest material in the human body.
But if the enamel gets damaged, whether from breaking, infection, or erosion, the rest of your tooth is at risk for further damage or infection.
How Does a Dental Crown Work?
Essentially, dental crowns are small caps that fit over your tooth. They completely cover the damaged tooth with a solid, protective layer that works just like the natural crown used to.
Dental crowns are made of medical-grade porcelain and crafted to be custom to your mouth. They are color-matched and individually shaped to fit your bite as perfectly as possible.
This is done by taking precise measurements of your mouth with an intraoral camera and sending those measurements to a computer, where the design of your crown can be finalized.
The Versatility of Dental Crowns
Unfortunately, enamel cannot heal itself, like other cells in our bodies. Once it has been damaged, only the intervention of a dentist can do anything to restore the crown.
There are several reasons you might need a dental crown. Common causes of enamel damage include blunt trauma (like from a car accident or sports injury), cavities, and bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching) which gradually wears down the enamel.
Bigger events, such as a big crack or root canal, also compromise the tooth. The crown protects the tooth while keeping the root in place.
By placing one of these crowns, your biting surface is restored, the insides of your teeth are safe from particles and bacteria, and any toothache you felt before will be long gone.
Dental Crowns Can Change Your Smile
There are both restorative and cosmetic benefits to receiving dental crowns. With our dental expertise, technology, and techniques, we provide exceptional high-end perks to transform your smile through dental crowns.
Restored Function
Whether it is eating, talking, or simply brushing your teeth, dental crowns will restore functionality in your smile and make everyday tasks much easier.
Crowns also restore your speech. If you are noticing whistling or a lisp developing because of a missing or broken tooth, crowns can help.
Improved Oral Health
When you have a missing tooth bacteria and food debris can get stuck in the missing tooth site and then create a breeding site for infection to grow. Dental crowns protect your teeth and gums from tooth decay and infection by sealing the missing tooth site from more bacteria.
If you need a crown due to a cracked tooth or post root canal treatment—the crown will strengthen and protect your tooth.
