Could a dental crown improve your smile and oral health? Let’s find out!

If you are thinking about getting a dental crown, you may be curious to learn more about this restoration and what it will do to boost your smile’s strength and appearance.

What is a dental crown? 

A dental crown is designed to look just like the crown of a real tooth. This restoration is shaped like a tooth but is hollow on the inside, that way it can easily fit over a tooth to change its appearance or restore strength and function if a tooth has become damaged or weak. A crown is a great protective barrier for a tooth and can even preserve it for years to come.

What are the benefits of crowns? 

If your dentist has recommended that you get a dental crown, you may be wondering what it can do for your smile. There are so many benefits you will receive when you get a crown at Abrams Family Dentistry including:

• A tooth that is the ideal shape, size, length, and color
• A tooth that is stronger and more durable
• A tooth that is strong enough to handle your jaw’s powerful chewing and biting forces
• A restoration that can support a dental bridge to replace one or more missing teeth
• A restoration that can also be used to cover a dental implant to replace missing teeth
• A restoration that provides more support and stability when a large filling is no longer able to properly support a tooth
