A dental crown is a cap that goes over the top of a tooth and can be used to improve the look, structure, and function of your teeth. Once they are cemented into place, a crown covers the entire part of the tooth above the gum line. If your dentist in Newnan recommends a crown, it could be for one or more of the following reasons.

Restore Shape and Size

A dental crown can restore a tooth that has been severely worn down or damaged, causing an abnormal shape. In some cases, sections of decay or cavities need to be removed from the tooth to prevent further damage. A crown can be placed over the tooth to restore its normal size and shape.

Add Strength

A dental crown can provide structure and support to a tooth that has been severely weakened or broken. If you received a large tooth filling, you may have had a lot of your tooth removed. A crown can replace removed tooth to add support and allow proper function when chewing. A crown might also be used after a root canal treatment to protect your newly restored tooth. Crowns can even be used for children to protect baby teeth that have become damaged and are at risk of decay.

Improve Appearance

Not only does a crown improve structure and function, it can also be used for cosmetic reasons. A crown can cover a badly discolored tooth to improve the appearance of your smile. Crowns can be made to match the color of your tooth so they look completely natural! A crown can also be placed over the teeth on each side of a gap, allowing a dental bridge to be placed between them to restore your full smile.

An exam from Dr. Schultz can help determine if you could benefit from a crown. Contact our office today for more information or to schedule your appointment!
