3 Signs You Need a Dental Crown
What is a crown? As you can read on our informative website, “A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.”
Do You Need a Crown?
There are many reasons a dentist may recommend a crown. Here are 3 signs you may need a crown:
· You broke or cracked a tooth: Did you damage a tooth when chewing something hard or perhaps you took a tumble? When you have a damaged tooth, a crown is often the best way to protect it.
· You are embarrassed about your smile: Are you self-conscious about your smile? Crowns are a great dental cosmetic option so you can gain a confident, beautiful smile.
· You have a cavity: When we have decay on our teeth, it can travel quickly, thus damaging the tooth. If the decay is deep enough, your dentist may recommend a crown instead of a filling.
