4 Reasons To Get A Dental Crown

Posted on: 9 May 2019

One of the top methods for restoring a tooth is with a dental crown. This type of restoration will allow you to maintain your teeth and avoid an extraction. You may need to make two visits to the dental office to have this procedure done. There are many reasons why you may need a crown, and knowing what some of these are may be helpful.

1. Severe decay

If you've waited too long to go to the dentist, you may need to get a crown rather than a filling. Do you have extensive damage to your tooth due to decay? If this is the case, it's likely you'll need to have a crown to restore the tooth fully. Doing this is the key to preventing the need for an extraction.

2. Worn-down tooth

Over time, you may have a tooth that wears down and is unhealthy. This is mainly due to the use of your teeth and age.

It's possible that as you get older, you may need to have dental crowns placed on some of your teeth. You'll have more stability as a result of the dental procedure and will be able to eat many foods you love.

3. Chipped tooth

If you're very active and enjoy playing sports, you may suffer an injury to your tooth. The only way to repair your tooth in a situation where it's been chipped maybe by having a crown put in place. This procedure can allow you to have the tooth fully restored, and it may not be noticeable to others that you had this done.

4. Fractured tooth

If you have a tooth that has broken off, you'll want to get this fixed as quickly as possible. Getting a broken tooth repaired before more damage occurs to it is crucial. You can have a dental crown put in place over the fractured tooth, and this will allow you to save it. The last thing you'll ever want to do is to have a tooth extracted. 

Taking care of your teeth will allow you to feel more confident and enjoy better dental health. This will require the right amount of effort on your part and a good dentist. Getting a dental crown is a top method for avoiding the need for extraction in many cases. Work closely with your dentist today to access your needs and to get this restoration when necessary.

About Marcel and the Dentist

Hi, my name is Marcel. Welcome to my site! I started it to help others learn about children's dentistry. Most of us don't remember dentist trips from our early childhood. Maybe we didn't even really care about our teeth until we started losing baby teeth. In my case, I became interested in children's dentistry as a young father. When my kids were young, I was a student, and our insurance did not cover visits to the dentist. Although my wife and I tried to teach our kids good hygiene on our own, it was difficult. When we we finally able to take them to the dentist, my little girls were scared and didn't know what was going on. Luckily, they appreciate the dentist now that they are older, but their first experiences helped teach me more about the importance of children's dentistry. Hopefully you can learn from my experiences!
