Root canal therapy is only needed if the tooth root is infected, severely damaged, or inflamed. The tooth crown restores the tooth's stability and protects it from loss or fracture.
Your Armidale dentist crowns teeth for various reasons, including:
- After root canal therapy
- To save a damaged tooth
- To lengthen a short tooth
- As part of cosmetic dentistry
- To connect a dental bridge
- To crown a dental implant
What Is a Dental Crown
A dental crown is a hollow, tooth-shaped cover. It fits over a treated tooth or tops a dental implant post above the gumline.
Tooth crowns offer many significant aesthetic and functional benefits. They often save at-risk teeth and hide many tooth flaws, including worn teeth, small gaps between teeth, tooth shape issues, discolouration and other general flaws.
Fortunately, they don’t require much upkeep. You should brush and floss normally and continue visiting our dental clinic for checks and cleans.
You must contact the dentist for a consultation if you have a damaged crown or a broken tooth.
