When is a Crown Necessary?
Protecting teeth is important to keeping them beautiful and intact. Broken, chipped, and otherwise cracked teeth need to be protected somehow to keep them from requiring extraction. When trauma occurs to a tooth, it is often best that a cosmetic dentist provides specific types of dental crowns in Charleston for patients. Dr. Greenberg of Mouth Carolina Dentistry, PA offers dental crowns for patients who need to protect their tooth from damage.
Crowns are substantial restorations that are made out of porcelain and zirconia for bonding over the top of a broken or traumatized tooth. They are placed for protection. Many dental crowns at Mouth Carolina Dentistry, PA are made with zirconia for two primary reasons: zirconia is extremely strong and durable, and it is the best replicator of natural tooth enamel. Patients can enjoy natural looking restorations such as dental crowns to bond over their teeth for protection.
In other cases, patients can use dental crowns over teeth that have undergone root canal therapy. Additionally, they can be used to top a dental implant, which is being utilized to replace missing teeth. While Dr. Greenberg does not perform dental implant surgeries in his office, he is able to offer the restorations that are placed over the top. Patients who have visited a periodontist for dental implant placement can visit Dr. Greenberg for the restorations used and created to match their existing smile.
Dr. Greenberg of Mouth Carolina Dentistry, PA can consult with patients to help them better understand when dental crowns may be needed to improve their smile. These beautiful, natural-looking restorations are available for patients of all ages, and can not only protect a tooth, but also assist patients in maintaining a beautiful, attractive smile regardless of what has happened to their natural teeth.
