Dental Crowns
A Dental Crown is basically a cover or cap that is placed on top of a tooth that is too decayed to do a filling. The tooth must have a healthy root to get a crown. Other reasons to use a crown vs a filling are: a crack in the tooth or too much of the structure broken off to support any type of filling. Decay can come from poor dental hygiene, or even an accident that caused damage to the teeth. Crowns cover the damaged tooth, making them fully functional again.
Of the different types of crowns, which one is best?
While there are many different types of crowns, we recommend you talk about this with Dr. Sierra or whomever is treating you. They’ll be able to explain the options clearly, and help you decide which is best based on your priorities. Some things to consider are cost, durability, appearance, etc.
