What is a Dental Crown, and how can it help me?

A dental crown is an artificial “cap” that protects the remaining non-damaged part of a natural tooth from decay and damage. It consists of a porcelain material that allows for a natural translucence without the appearance of metal. The crown effectively restores your full bite, without hampering the beauty of your smile.

Why do I need a Dental Crown placed?

When a tooth becomes cracked, worn, or damaged, the probability that bacteria can creep in and stay hidden from normal dental hygiene methods increases. If you suddenly have a toothache, it is likely to have been caused by bacterial damage in the root, which may be saved through a root canal, or bacterial damage that slipped through a crack in a tooth. Getting a dental crown placed typically saves the remaining structure, or enhances an artificial structure as found in a dental implant.

Universal City TX dentists Dr. Henslee and Dr. Hafen may recommend that patients get a crown replaced following a root canal, as the natural tooth tends to become brittle and apt to fracture following that procedure. A fractured tooth is non-functional as a chewing surface, and can lead to gum and teeth alignment problems, so it is best to replace it as soon as possible.
