Broken Tooth? Make it Whole Again with Dental Crown Treatment

Dental crowns can’t reverse any damage caused to your tooth. They can, however, protect your tooth from further breakage and fortify its structure to restore its usefulness. If you’re suffering from a broken tooth, talk to Dr. Daniel Bearley about dental crown services. A visit to Bearley Dental in Charlottesville, Virginia, can determine if dental crown treatment is a viable option for you.

What Crowns Can Do 

Dental crowns can do much to repair chipped, cracked or broken teeth to make them “whole” again. Crowns are special caps made of metal, ceramic or porcelain material that can be placed over weak or damaged teeth to keep them from crumbling. Dr. Bearley will make an impression of your damaged tooth to have a crown custom-fitted for your use. Your crown will cover your tooth from top to bottom, all the way down to the gum line, to safeguard its structure. 

Dentists use crowns to:

• Cover a damaged tooth to protect it from further damage
• Seal off a severely decayed tooth after treatment to keep it safe from future infection
• Conceal chips, cracks and other imperfections or alter a tooth’s shape and size to improve its appearance
• Fortify a weak or broken tooth to restore its function and usefulness
• Complete root canal and dental implant treatment 

Crowning a broken tooth can preserve it for future use. In some instances, a dental crown may even save a broken tooth from extraction.

Dental Crowns Benefits

Dental crowns offer a viable solution to repairing broken teeth. Quality dental crowns can last 10 years or longer in restoring your tooth’s function. Porcelain crowns are a popular restorative treatment as they closely resemble the color and sheen of natural teeth and won’t stand out when you smile. You won’t have to worry about your crown ruining your smile’s esthetic appeal.
