Dental crowns and bridges are the ideal solution for when patients whose teeth have been damaged from cavities, unfortunate events/accidents or other events that may have led to gum disease. Crowns and bridges allow patients to have that natural-looking smile even after suffering from damaged teeth. Often times, installing a crown is a multi-visit process but the pain is often claimed to be less painful than an extraction or filling.
The dentist removes the top, damaged layer of the damaged tooth down to a softer tissue inside the tooth. After the tooth has been cleaned, a temporary crown is put over the tooth to cover up the sensitive area of the tooth and to lessen the future damage of that tooth.
If you have had a cavity, suffered damaged teeth or even had multiple cavities before, a crown may be the best option for you. A dental crown can be the perfect solution to restore your teeth’s structure and smile.
