Fix Your Teeth with Dental Crowns in New York, NY
Dental crowns restore a partial or complete missing tooth. Also known as a cap, a dental crown is a custom designed cover for a decayed or damaged tooth. They can also replace missing teeth with a bridge (a set of three or more crowns).
The most common uses for dental crowns include:
- Broken teeth
- Severe tooth decay
- Support a fractured tooth
- Replace missing teeth
- Save severely decayed teeth from extraction
- Cover a dental implant
- Cosmetic improvement
If a cavity is too large to fill with a standard dental filling, a dental crown is used to replaced the tooth surface that has been lost and to protect the healthy portion of the tooth that remains.
If you're missing one or more teeth, chances are that your diet and oral health have been affected as while. Even partial tooth loss can make it difficult to eat, cause your speech to sound slurred, and lead to social and professional embarrassment. Crowns are one of the most effective and efficient treatments available for cosmetic damage and trauma.
