How dental crowns work
Dental crowns restore the function of your teeth which helps keep your mouth and jaw healthy. When teeth are damaged or decayed, they lose their natural shape. Chewing on misshapen teeth can cause alter your bite, causing painful TMJ symptoms. Decay of any kind is a very unwelcome guest in your mouth, beyond the damage it can cause to teeth and gums, the bacteria and inflammation that decay brings can spread to your body causing even more health problems.
Your teeth are made up of 2 basic parts the root below the gum line, as well as the crown at the top of each tooth. Your Westminster dentist will assess your tooth to determine if you need a full, or partial crown. The decision will depend on the severity of the damage that’s been done.
There are different types of crown procedures, as well as different materials used. Your dentist will discuss this with you after the initial examination. Your dentist will also take careful consideration of your skin tone and hair to match the perfect shade to your existing teeth. A partial crown is used to cover only the top part of the tooth (the cusps) used for chewing and tearing. This conservative technique is used to try and preserve the natural tooth. Dental veneers are also becoming quite popular in fixing problem teeth, as well as for cosmetic use.
