A crown is aesthetically pleasing while offering protection and strength for the tooth requiring repair.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"s1\">Dental crowns serve many purposes with the final result being the same: a restoration that has been made to match surrounding biological teeth in size, shape, and shade. Some of the situations where a crown is the best choice for solution include: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Excessive decay<\/strong> \u2013 When a tooth has been repaired previously, additional cavity correction might result in a broken tooth. A dental crown allows the base of the tooth to remain intact, the decay is removed and the remainder of the tooth is covered with a crown.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Broken tooth<\/strong> \u2013 When a tooth is compromised due to a crack or break in the dental enamel, correcting the tooth with a crown as soon as possible is the ideal option.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Root canal completion<\/strong> \u2013 When the root of the tooth is impacted due to trauma, decay, or infection the tooth will be saved if endodontic therapy is completed. The other option is extracting the tooth. With a root canal, the tooth is accessed using a dental hand piece, the contents of the canals are removed and the opening needs to be sealed \u2013 usually with a dental crown.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"s1\">Another situation when a dental crown is used is to cover a dental implant. When a tooth is lost, a natural restoration is achieved with a dental implant. A titanium post is surgically placed in gum tissue where tooth loss has occurred. Once healing and osseointegration (bone merging with the implant) has completed, the dental implant process is completed by permanently cementing a crown over the implant.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"s1\">The patient\u2019s ability to eat the foods they love, speak with confidence and smile without embarrassment due to tooth loss is restored when a lost tooth is replaced with a dental crown covering the implant.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"s1\">A tooth restored with a crown is easy to care for. Floss daily (your dentist will demonstrate the best way to floss around a dental crown), brush twice daily with a fluoridated toothpaste and see your dentist every six months for cleaning and dental exam.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"s1\">Are you late in your checkups?
