4 Benefits of Dental Crowns

When teeth are damaged, it's in the patient's and dentist's best interest to save as much of the natural tooth structure as possible. A broken or cracked tooth, or one with a cavity, doesn't mean that the tooth cannot be repaired.

In fact, dental crowns allow the natural tooth to stay in place so it can still be used for biting, chewing, and maintaining your natural smile's appearance.

Double A Dental Group's mission is to provide Montclair patients with the highest standard of dental care.

We place crowns for both medical and cosmetic purposes, and we want to ensure our patients understand how they help their teeth look and function at their best.

1. Crowns Help Relieve Discomfort

Crowns are often used as the last step to complete a restorative treatment, repairing damage to a tooth's enamel or structure. If you suffer from extensive decay, an infection of a tooth's root, or injury to your tooth enamel, such as a fracture, chip, or break, you may feel pain when you eat or drink. If the issue is severe enough, you may have constant discomfort.

Once your dentist addresses the underlying issue with your tooth with an appropriate treatment (filling, root canal, etc.), the remaining portion of the tooth may still be vulnerable to further damage or discomfort. A dental crown can protect your tooth against further damage while also reducing sensitivity.

2. Crowns Are a Simple Procedure

You might think that getting dental crowns is a complicated or intense procedure. In reality, this treatment is minimally invasive and relatively straightforward. Once your enamel is cleaned and the damaged parts are healthy or removed, the tooth is prepared so that it can securely hold a crown. Next, your dentist will make a mold of your tooth from which your crown will be cast.

Double A Dental Group uses advanced technology to design, fabricate, and place quality ceramic and porcelain dental crowns during a single visit. Using E4-D digital technology, we can create a beautiful, custom crown to restore a damaged tooth or replace a broken crown.

3. Crowns Can Restore the Appearance of Teeth

Dental crowns are mainly intended to restore teeth to health and relieve dental discomfort, but they also offer numerous cosmetic benefits. Because they fit over the existing tooth, they can instantly correct discoloration, staining, misshapen teeth, crookedness, chips, cracks, fractures, and more. Therefore, they can be used to correct some purely cosmetic issues, much like porcelain veneers or cosmetic bonding; however, this may not be covered by your insurance. Consult with our dedicated staff about what your insurance will and will not cover.

4. Crowns Last Many Years

Our patients' crowns are designed with longevity in mind, using durable materials to ensure a perfect, long-lasting fit. With conscientious care such as daily brushing and flossing, as well as routine examinations and cleanings, these prosthetic teeth can last between 15 and 30 years.
