Dental crowns, often referred to as “caps,” are a tried-and-true solution in the world of dentistry, primarily used to restore the strength, functionality, and appearance of a tooth that may have been damaged or decayed.
They play a pivotal role in many restorative procedures and are custom-made to fit snugly over the entire tooth, starting from the gum line, ensuring a natural appearance and comfortable fit.
Restoration of Functionality
Damaged or weakened teeth can compromise one’s ability to chew or speak properly. A dental crown restores the tooth to its original functionality, allowing for comfortable eating and clear speech.
Aesthetic Improvement
Crowns can be made to match the color, shape, and size of the surrounding teeth, providing a seamless blend and improving the overall appearance of one’s smile.
Protection
For teeth that are cracked, weakened, or have had root canal treatments, crowns act as a protective shield, preventing further damage or potential tooth loss.
Durability
With proper care, dental crowns can last a long time. They are made from robust materials, such as porcelain, resin, or metal, that withstand the usual forces of biting and chewing.
Support for Dental Appliances
Tooth Caps can be anchors for other dental procedures, such as bridges, ensuring the dental appliance is secure and functions effectively.
Correction of Misshapen Teeth
For teeth that may have an irregular shape or are discoloured, crowns can offer a corrective solution, ensuring the tooth not only functions well but also looks great.
Whether you’re looking to reconstruct heavily worn teeth, enhance aesthetics, or replace missing teeth, the dentists at Ormeau Dental possess the expertise to assess and craft top-quality dental crowns.
