Dental crowns are a dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. Crowns are also a necessity after receiving a root canal and provide you with a picture-perfect smile in two easy visits! Dentists may fabricate dental crowns to protect the tooth from additional damage. It is one of the leading restorations for a damaged tooth.

A dental crown is a type of cap which is given the similar shape of teeth, that is used to fit on the teeth which are got damaged.  Aside from its use for protecting the natural teeth, dental crowns make up part of other dental restorations such as dental implants and bridges. Let's see how a dental crown can help to give you a perfect and natural smile.



Let us discuss the 5 ways how the dental crown can help your oral health:

1.  PREVENT ADDITIONAL DAMAGE

If you are suffering from any oral trauma that is because of tooth fracture then your tooth may also suffer more damage while eating, biting or chewing any food which will take painful for you also it will make your teeth weak. So this dental crown can help to protect the tooth and prevent from falling apart.

2. REDUCES THE CHANCE OF DECAY

Dental crowns are of both porcelain or metal, which are both resistant to acids produced by dental plaque. A tooth that is covered with a dental crown is less vulnerable to decay. If you don't take proper care of your teeth or if you don't follow the instruction of doctors or without proper oral hygiene, your teeth may suffer decay. 

3.  PROTECTION AGAINST TOOTH SENSITIVITY

People with extensive tooth damage likely get tooth sensitivity, a situation where the tooth feels mild to severe pain when it is exposed to extreme temperatures. People with the habit of grinding their teeth may experience enamel degradation over time. A dental crown helps to prevent your nerves and from tooth sensitivity and helps to stop the pain that you suffer during sensitivity.

4. RESOLVE COSMETIC ISSUES

Porcelain crowns are usually preferred because they give the luster and color of the natural teeth. The dentist may apply a crown to hide severe stains and discoloration. The dental crown can prevent your tooth and smile and can also make it perfect and will help you to feel confident.

5.  AN IMPORTANT PART OF DENTAL RESTORATIONS

Crowns are used with dental implants to fill the gap left by a lost tooth. The alternative for filling such spaces is dental bridges, which are created from prosthetic dental crowns and supported by the crowns on either side of the gap. If the teeth are loose, the dentist may cover the affected teeth and splint them together to ensure better stability. A loose or missing tooth can cause damages to the remaining teeth if restoration is not immediately provided.

The benefits of the dental crown to your oral health are numerous. If you think you might be a candidate for this restoration, contact your dentist for a consultation.
