If you are experiencing pain or discomfort due to a cracked or broken front tooth, we are here to help! Dr. Ivan Chan from Glendale Dental Wellness can relieve your pain and restore your smile in one fell swoop with a dental crown. Porcelain dental crowns offer restorative and cosmetic benefits, making them ideal for enhancing your smile. If your tooth was uneven or misshapen, to begin with, your Glendale, California, dentist can use a crown to create a new smile thatās symmetrical and even. Here are a few ways to effectively use a crown in dental treatment.
Crowns are customized caps that cover teeth that need extra protection and support due to being weak, fragile, or damaged. If your tooth is weak, a crown will keep it from harm and extend its lifespan. If your tooth is damaged, a crown will restore its shape, size, color, and function to make your smile whole again. Crowns can also be used strictly for cosmetic reasons to improve your smileās aesthetics. By covering stained, irregularly sized, misshapen, or slightly uneven teeth, crowns can improve your smileās overall appearance, balance, and symmetry.
To restore front teeth, it is essential to have a strong, long-lasting, and aesthetically pleasing solution. Dr. Chan and our team highly recommend porcelain crowns for front teeth due to their exceptional attributes and more! Hereās what you can expect from a porcelain front tooth crown:
Porcelain crowns can be fashioned to appear just like your natural teeth in color, shape, and size to avoid disrupting your smileās continuity. Your existing tooth will be fully covered by your crown, hiding any flaws and damage and restoring its original appearance. A custom porcelain crown will blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth to restore your smileās natural beauty.
Porcelain crowns are made of durable, ceramic material thatās comparable in strength to natural tooth enamel. Your crown will have ample strength for biting and chewing. With proper care, it can remain in place incognito for 10 to 15 years. You can confidently eat, drink, talk, and smile, knowing your crown will maintain its performance and appearance without faltering or fading.
Porcelain crowns donāt require special care to retain their strength or beauty. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular professional dental cleanings will ensure that your porcelain crown retains its new appearance year after year. Good oral care will also protect the tooth beneath your crown and nearby teeth from decay and gum disease to maximize your crown treatment. As porcelain material is stain-resistant, you can enjoy various foods and drinks without worrying about your crown turning dull or dingy.
