Understanding Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are a dental restoration that can improve your smile in several ways. Crowns strengthen and protect teeth that have been weakened or damaged. They also restore biting and chewing functions. Crowns can even replace missing teeth when attached to a dental implant. Dr. Brian Deas and Dr. Candice Hardwick can strengthen and restore your smile with custom dental crowns at Creekside Dental in Douglasville, GA.

How Dental Crowns Help

A dental crown is a hollow tooth-like cap that fits directly over a natural tooth, completely encasing it inside. The crown provides a strong and durable new exterior for the tooth, which helps restore biting and chewing functions. Additionally, the tooth is protected from being further worn down or damaged. A crown can also be attached to a dental implant for the purpose of replacing a missing or extracted tooth.

Dental crowns are custom made from a dental impression of the patient’s teeth so they fit perfectly in place and readily blend in with the surrounding teeth. Different materials can be used to make dental crowns, but porcelain is a popular choice since it looks so much like natural tooth enamel. Once a patient’s custom restorations are ready, the crowns are cemented in place to ensure they remain secure. Our experienced dentists can strengthen and restore your smile with dental crowns at our Douglasville, GA, office.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

There are many exciting benefits to improving your smile with dental crowns. Some of the main benefits include:

  • Strengthening weak or damaged teeth
  • Restoring biting and chewing functions
  • Protecting teeth from being further worn down or damaged
  • Custom made for the best possible fit
  • Look and function like natural teeth
  • Can replace missing or extracted teeth

In addition to their many functional benefits, dental crowns can also serve a cosmetic purpose. Since they completely encase the natural tooth, dental crowns can be used to improve the appearance of teeth with cosmetic imperfections. Chipped, cracked, stained, or discolored teeth can all be given a flawless new look with a custom dental crown.

Dental crowns are a highly effective method for improving both the appearance and function of your smile. For dental crowns in Douglasville, GA, schedule a consultation with Dr. Deas or Dr. Hardwick by calling Creekside Dental at (770) 577-5727.
