Are you looking to repair a damaged tooth?
A dental crown in Fonthill and Welland may be right for your smile.
But what is a crown and how can it help your tooth?
Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about dental crowns.
What Exactly Is a Dental Crown?
Think of a dental crown as a protective helmet for your tooth. We attach it over the tooth to seal and protect it. The crown covers the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gumline, providing strength and stability, especially after damage or extensive treatment.
More Than Just Fixing Damage
While many people associate crowns with broken teeth, they are an effective restorative and cosmetic solution. Cosmetic benefits of a crown include:
- Improve bite alignment
- Support dental bridges
- Enhance cosmetic appearance
- Prevent further tooth wear
Longevity and Durability
Crowns are designed to last. With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, many crowns can last 10–15 years or even longer. They resist staining and help preserve the remaining structure of the tooth.
Caring for Your Crown
Caring for a crown is no different than caring for natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and avoid biting hard objects like pens or ice to keep your crown in great shape. Visit our dentist in Fonthill at least twice a year for a cleaning and exam. Regular preventative care will help keep your crown in great condition and allow us to spot any concerns early on.
