Dental crowns are available to assist with broken or chipped teeth

Did you know that when patients have broken teeth one of the recommended dental solutions are dental crowns? Teeth can break as a result of decay or if they have had a large filling and have weakened as a result. In some cases, a dental crown is advised to help treat the affected area.

The first step of the process includes making an impression of the patient’s tooth that requires restoration so that a crown can be made. The crown is custom-made to fit the patient’s tooth perfectly and will blend in naturally with the other surrounding teeth for a flawless finish. The crown that is created will match the size, shape and even colour of the surrounding teeth. Once the patient’s tooth has been fully prepped, the crown is fitted securely. In some cases, a patient may have discoloured fillings and wish to have them whitened in order to improve the overall appearance. This will result in a glowing smile with incredible results following the treatment process.

Some patients may require a crown following root canal therapy in order to protect the restored tooth. This will also help with the patient’s bite force so they can eat with ease and no hesitation.

Dental bridges are a great way to restore multiple teeth

For those patients that require having several teeth in a row restored, a dental bridge may be the best option for you. Dental bridges are also used for patients that have experienced a large amount of damage to their teeth and they require additional restoration. Not only will the bridge offer sturdy support, but they offer a natural-looking result. Patients will find that as an additional benefit their ability to bite and chew and digest food will improve as well.
