Dentists fabricate tooth crowns from various materials, including zirconia, porcelain, hybrids, and more. These crowns may be temporary or permanent. We can create front teeth, canine, or molar crowns, which are always customized to look natural and beautiful in the mouth.
Your dentist will evaluate your situation to determine the best crown type for your needs.
Why Do I Need Dental Crowns in Tazewell, VA?
Your dentist recommends a tooth crown if you have a damaged or weak tooth following root canal therapy or injury. We also use dental crowns in tooth replacement to anchor bridgework or top single dental implant posts.
Some patients choose dental crowns in cosmetic dentistry to conceal tooth flaws, including:
- Broken, chipped, or cracked teeth
- Short or worn teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
- Discolored teeth
- Irregularly shaped teeth
Caring for Dental Crowns
You should brush and floss your restored teeth the same way you would untreated teeth. It’s also critical to continue with regular dental care, seeing your dentist every six months for checkups and teeth cleanings.
We recommend not biting into sticky taffy or the like with your restored tooth. Likewise, never use your teeth or crowns as tools. They are for chewing and smiling!
