Dental Crowns Cosmetic and Restorative Uses

When it comes to taking care of your teeth and improving your dental health, it’s important that you speak with a skilled Redwood City cosmetic dentist. You should be visiting your dentist twice a year for regular check-ups as well as practicing good dental hygiene at home. Sometimes you will experience dental issues that require the help of a dental professional, and luckily there are many options available for enhancing the overall appearance and health of your smile. One such option is dental crowns.

About Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a type of dental restoration that is used to cap a tooth. Capping a tooth with a dental crown will protect the tooth from further harm, reduce pain and sensitivity caused by the damaged tooth, restore bite strength, and improve the appearance of the smile.

When you visit our dental spa in Redwood City, we’ll assess your needs and determine if dental crowns are the best option for you. Let’s take a brief look at some of the cosmetic and restorative uses of dental crowns right now.

Dental Crowns for Restorative Dentistry Needs

One of the main uses for dental crowns is to address major tooth damage. If you have a tooth that is chipped or cracked, it can be capped with a dental crown to restore its strength and reduce any pain related to the tooth damage. Similarly, dental crowns can be used to address major tooth decay. This refers to situations in which Redwood City dental fillings, inlays, and onlays are not able to sufficiently restore the strength and structure of a decayed tooth.

We also use dental crowns for root canal therapy and dental care emergencies. You can discuss both issues in more detail with our cosmetic dentist serving Redwood City when you stop in for a consultation.

Dental Crowns for Cosmetic Dentistry Needs

If you have teeth that are severely damaged or stained due to decay, then you may need to get dental crowns to help restore the appearance of your smile. This is broadly a cosmetic dentistry concern since it relates to aesthetics. The dental crown will improve the look of the tooth, of course, but as we showed above, there are numerous aesthetic improvements related to dental crowns as well.

Dental Crowns and Implant Dentistry

Dental crowns can also be used when a patient gets dental implants to replace a missing tooth or missing teeth. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone and gum tissue. The dental crown will be used to cap an individual dental implant, allowing for improved appearance and better dental health overall.
