If a tooth is severely damaged or weakened, a dental crown can restore its function, protect it from further harm, and enhance its appearance. Discover the benefits of dental crowns with Dr. Nick’s White & Healthy in South Tampa.
Problem: When a Filling Isn’t Enough
While fillings work well for smaller cavities, sometimes teeth experience damage or decay too extensive for traditional fillings. Common scenarios include:
- Large Cavities: When a significant portion of the tooth is affected by decay, a filling may not provide enough support.
- Cracked or Fractured Teeth: A weakened tooth is vulnerable to further damage or infection.
- Root Canal Therapy: A crown strengthens and protects a tooth after root canal treatment.
- Cosmetic Issues: Severely discolored or misshapen teeth can detract from your smile.
Solution: Dental Crowns for Strength and Beauty
A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that fits over the entire visible portion of a tooth. At Dr. Nick’s White & Healthy, we offer crowns in various durable and natural-looking materials:
- Realistic Aesthetics: Crowns are fabricated to match the shape and color of your natural teeth, blending seamlessly into your smile.
- Durable Protection: A crown reinforces the tooth’s structure, reducing the risk of further breakage or decay.
- Restored Function: Crowns allow you to eat and chew normally without pain or sensitivity.
