What Are Crowns?
Crowns are a type of restorative dental option patients can use if they are missing teeth or if they have badly damaged teeth. Crowns are made of ceramic or metal alloy. They are designed to fit over a tooth and to match your existing teeth in both size, shape, and color.
Who Should Get Crowns?
Crowns are a great option for patients of any age. You will need to discuss with your dentist any allergies you may have to ensure that you are not allergic to any of the materials used to make the crowns.
Crowns are often used to cover a damaged, decayed, or misshapen tooth. This can help patients achieve the beautiful uniform smile they want.
Dental crowns in Venice, FL can also be used to help replace missing teeth as well. If a patient is missing a tooth and does not wish to have implant surgery, the tooth can be replaced by using a crown on the teeth beside the missing tooth. A bridge can be attached to these crowns and a pontic, or a false tooth, can be attached to the bridge to sit in the gap created by the missing tooth.
Caring For Crowns
Crowns can be cared for in much the same way as you would care for your natural teeth. Daily brushing and flossing are essential to dental health and hygiene. In addition, you should avoid biting or chewing on anything hard. This could damage the materials used to make the crown.
