Dental Crowns Repair Broken Teeth
Dental crowns reinforce and stabilise teeth that have sustained damage such as cracks, fractures, chips or wear. Dental crowns also provide a solution for teeth compromised by a large filling, or teeth that are missing a large filling, due to a reduction of tooth structure.
Dental crowns completely cover the remaining tooth structure and protect you from sensitivity and pain when chewing. They can also prolong the life of your natural tooth by rebuilding its structure.
Dental crowns are available in various materials, including different types of porcelain such as E-Max or Zirconia, porcelain fused to metal, metal and gold crowns. Dental crowns are durable, long-lasting and can improve the aesthetics of your smile. In some cases, if a tooth cannot be restored with a crown, you may wish to consider our tooth replacement options.
The type of crown material that will work best for you will likely depend on your preference, the tooth’s location and whether it is visible when you smile or laugh. The team at Port Pacific Dental will discuss the benefits and limitations of each so you can make an informed choice for your smile.
Why It’s Important to Repair Broken Teeth
If you have a broken tooth and it’s not painful, you may wonder why replacing it is important. If left untreated, the tooth can continue to fracture until the damage reaches the nerve inside the tooth. This can allow bacteria to enter the tooth, causing decay, infection, abscess, swelling, sensitivity or pain. At this point, the tooth may require root canal treatment or extraction.
At this point, the tooth may require root canal treatment or extraction. Early intervention with a dental crown can often prevent more complex treatment later.
Maintaining strong restorations also supports your overall oral health. Learn more about the importance of oral hygiene and how proper care can extend the lifespan of your dental crown.
