Common conclusions
Having one or more teeth broken causes particular inconveniences and decreases chewing efficiency, so a dental crown may be needed. This is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over your tooth to save it and protect from further damage. The crown when cemented on place carries the chewing pressure and allows you to use your tooth as usual. You may need to consult your dentist whether to choose metal or non-metal porcelain crown. Schedule a visit to your dental office for more information.
It seems you may need a crown to cover and support your teeth due to large fillings placed into them. As time passed such fillings change their size, pores appear so they are no longer tight enough to keep hermetic state. The left tooth tissues become weak and stressed. To protect such teeth from further decay dentists use crowns – tooth-shaped caps that cover the tooth. This may help you to reduce excessive stress and make your teeth stronger. The crown when cemented on place carries the chewing pressure and allows you to use your tooth as usual. Schedule a visit to your dentist for more information and examination.
Having up to three teeth missing may need a bridge to be placed due to teeth row defect. You may need two dental crowns put on your left teeth that are strong enough to carry hanging up metal or ceramic teeth that cover the gap. Such structure is called a bridge. The crown when cemented on place carries the chewing pressure and allows you to use your tooth as usual. This can help you restore your chewing efficiency and feel more comfortable. Schedule a visit to your dentist for more information and examination.
Based on your answers, you may need veneers instead of crowns. Veneers are thin porcelain onlays like fish scale that cover your front teeth face surface. This can help you to re-shape your front teeth and choose preferable shade. Schedule a visit to your dentist for more information and examination.
Based on your answers, it is difficult to determine whether you need dental crowns or not. Please, consult your dentist for more information and examination.
