How Can I Identify Whether or Not I Require a Dental Crown?

If you have ever required dental work, chances are you have considered whether you need a crown. Dental crowns are commonly used to repair teeth damaged by decay or trauma and can also cover dental implants and strengthen weaker ones.

How can you determine whether a dental crown is needed? Here are some signs to watch for:

• If your tooth has become cracked, broken, or fractured, a dental crown could be necessary to keep further damage at bay and restore both the appearance and functionality of the affected area. A crown may help preserve and protect what remains of the natural structure while providing cosmetic benefits as well.

You Have a Large Cavity

• If you have a cavity in your tooth that has left it vulnerable to further decay and restoration, a dental crown may be necessary to protect its structure from further erosion as well as improve its appearance and prevent further damage to other parts of the mouth.

You Have Undergone Root Canal Therapy

• Following root canal treatment, your tooth may become more vulnerable and susceptible to breaking. A dental crown provides additional support and protection for this vulnerable area of tooth structure.

Your Tooth Is Misshapen or Discolored

• If one or more of your teeth is misshaped or discolored, a dental crown may help improve their appearance. They are custom crafted to blend in seamlessly with your natural smile, matching their color and shape as closely as possible.

Your Tooth Is Sensitive to Hot or Cold

• If your tooth is sensitive to hot or cold temperatures, a dental crown may be needed to protect the enamel from further damage as well as reduce any associated sensitivity by covering over exposed nerves in the tooth and protecting nerve endings from further exposure.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s essential that you consult a dentist to determine whether a dental crown may be required. Your dentist can examine your teeth and suggest the most effective course of treatment.
