Understanding Dental Crowns: Purpose, Types & Benefits
Dental crowns, also called "caps," are tooth-shaped restorations that cover and protect a damaged or weakened tooth. They restore the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials including porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination. Porcelain and ceramic crowns are popular because they can be matched to the color of your natural teeth. At Fort Worth Dental, we create custom crowns that look natural and function like your real teeth.
When Do I Need A Crown?
Your dentist may recommend a dental crown for several reasons:
- ✓To protect a weak tooth from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth
- ✓To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down
- ✓To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't enough natural tooth remaining
- ✓To hold a dental bridge in place
- ✓To cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth for cosmetic improvement
- ✓To cover a dental implant
- ✓To cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment
What Is A Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge literally bridges the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap (called abutment teeth) and a false tooth/teeth in between (called pontics). Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or dental implants.
Bridges can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Porcelain bridges can be matched to the color of your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible.
Bridges Produce The Following Benefits:
- ✓Restore your smile and facial structure
- ✓Restore your ability to properly chew and speak
- ✓Maintain the shape of your face
- ✓Distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth
- ✓Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position
