Dental crowns are often used for restorative treatment but, in recent years, they have also been more widely used for a number of cosmetic purposes. Patients in the Flower Mound, Texas area, visit Dr. William Wyatt and the team at Flower Mound Dental when seeking quality porcelain caps for their teeth.
Many cosmetic dental services are not only able to improve the appearance of your smile but also improve your tooth’s functionality. The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry interprets cosmetic dentistry as a practice that aims to create positive changes in your teeth and smile. Porcelain dental crowns do this wonderfully.
Let’s learn more about dental crowns and how they can restore your tooth while providing certain cosmetic benefits.
It is important to understand that a dental crown, while often used in restorative dental work, can also be used for cosmetic benefit. Many patients today seek dental crowns for their ability to conceal certain cosmetic defects of a tooth. Because dental crowns are crafted from strong and durable porcelain and completely encapsulate a tooth, they are the perfect choice for concealing a tooth that is discolored or misshapen without sacrificing functionality.
The following list will cover some of the common reasons people choose porcelain dental crowns to address specific restorative and cosmetic dental problems. Because dental crowns are custom crafted, it makes them beneficial not only for restoration but also for cosmetic purposes.
When you have a tooth that has suffered extensive damage due to decay, having that decay removed and a crown placed will save the function and appearance of your smile.
There are other reasons you may consider a dental crown to save a tooth, including:
Even if a fracture, crack, or break is not enough to threaten the long-term health of a tooth, it will be visible. Capping a tooth that is damaged will not only ensure that the tooth is protected but will also keep your smile beautiful.
If you are missing one or more teeth, you should consider a tooth replacement option so that you can have a complete, attractive smile. Replacing a missing tooth is not only a cosmetic issue. It will help ensure that you do not run into a range of oral health problems down the road due to having a gap in your smile. When choosing a dental implant to replace a tooth, a crown is often used as the artificial tooth attached to the implant.
Because a crown completely encapsulates the tooth, it is an excellent option for teeth that are misshapen, discolored, or have some other cosmetic imperfection.
