7 Things to Know About Crown Tooth Replacement for Smile Restoration

Slowly knowing you’re going to lose a tooth feels much worse than losing it by surprise. Very often, folks will watch a tooth deteriorate and feel powerless, figuring it’s just a matter of time before it falls out anyway. In the meantime, you could get a painful infection.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Drs. Shirin Hamed, Reza Moezi, and the team at Creekside Center for Comprehensive Dentistry in Vacaville, California, may be able to save your tooth and the hassle and cost of getting an extraction and replacement using a dental crown.

1. Taking on Severe Tooth Decay

When tooth decay invades your tooth, a crown can step in to keep it safe. Crowns can cover your remaining tooth, restoring its shape and size with an all-natural appearance. It functions just like your natural tooth, saving you a lot of pain when you chew.

2. Protecting Your Tooth After a Root Canal

Following a root canal procedure, your tooth will be weaker and more vulnerable to cracking under pressure. Your crown again serves as armor to shield it from bite pressure, thus preventing chips and even more expensive dental work down the road. Just think of it as a long-term solution that allows you to keep your natural tooth.

3. Repairing Broken or Cracked Teeth

Whether you cracked or broke a tooth eating popcorn or had a bad accident that damaged your teeth, a dental crown can restore your tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance, allowing you to enjoy food again without worrying about that tooth. Don’t gamble with your teeth by not getting treatment. Once you fix it with a crown, you probably won’t need an extraction later.

4. Restoring Worn-Down Teeth

Years of acid wear and grinding can reduce your teeth to stubs. This impacts the way you speak and the way you eat. The dental crown procedure can restore your teeth to their original shape, height, and function. They will help you chew better and give you back your winning smile.

Before & After Results

5. Cosmetic Smile Enhancement

Crowns can quickly restore a smile that feels a bit off by:

• Covering stubborn stains.
• Reshaping uneven teeth.
• Closing gaps.
• Filling out your smile.

Dental crowns can make a difference if you hide your teeth when taking photos or laugh at a good joke.

6. Dental Bridge Support

If you’re missing a tooth, we’ve got great news! We can use dental crowns to anchor dental bridges by capping the teeth on either side of the gap. This allows your bridge to remain secure while you live your best life. Your smile will look natural, and filling the missing tooth will prevent your other teeth from shifting.

7. The Finish Touch for Dental Implants

A crown is used to complete dental implants. While the titanium post bonds with your jawbone, the crown is used to restore your natural tooth’s look, feel, and function. The winning combination results in a tooth that looks real and feels even stronger than the one you lost.
