Restoring Your Damaged Tooth

Dental crowns are artificial tooth-shaped caps or covers that are placed over a damaged tooth to restore its strength, shape, size and improve its appearance. Crowns can be made from metal alloys, porcelain, stainless steel, resins or ceramics. Have your crown placed here at Hattiesburg Family Dental Care.

Dentists regard crowns as a solid and reliable solution to dental problems caused by disease, injury or normal wear and tear.

Reasons for Dental Crowns

To hold together a cracked / weak tooth or protect it from breaking or decay
To hold a denture or bridge firmly in place
To support and cover a root filling so as to protect what is left of the tooth
To cover a dental implant
To cover severely discolored teeth
For a cosmetic modification to eliminate embarrassing aesthetic issues

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Although dental crowns can be expensive, their benefits outweigh the cost. Some of these benefits include:

Protection – When they are fitted on a decayed or damaged tooth, they provide the best protection against further decay. Crowns can be used as a shield to prevent further decay and plaque buildup, or as a cap that encases teeth and binds together cracked or broken pieces of a tooth
Aesthetics – Other than providing protection and improving the shape, color and strength of a tooth, crowns improve visual appeal. Most crowns (especially those made of composite resin or porcelain) have a natural appearance that resembles a natural tooth. These crowns mimic the translucency and luster of natural teeth; therefore, you can use them to restore a missing or a damaged tooth, giving the illusion of a natural, healthy and bright smile
Durability – Research has shown that dental crowns last longer than other forms of dental solutions such as implants and fillings. They can withstand wear and tear that results from chewing and biting. However, you should avoid putting excessive pressure on crowns while clenching and grinding so that you can increase their lifespan
Comfort - Crowns are better than removable partials or full dentures that can cause discomfort and pain. Dentures sit on the gums and can cause discomfort when they shift around the mouth. Dental crowns do not irritate the gums because they are stable
Confidence – Although crowns are mainly used to strengthen damaged teeth, they can be used for cosmetic value. Chipped or damaged teeth make patients feel embarrassed about their smile. Crowns restore the look and function of your smile as well as boost your confidence
