Dental Crowns
When your tooth's root is healthy, but a significant amount of your tooth's enamel is damaged, Dr. Steinberg may recommend a dental crown. This restorative treatment is a snug covering for the remaining tooth structure, keeping it safe, strong, and stable. Crowns are also used for improving a smile's appearance by creating an all-white, uniform look for your teeth.
There are many causes that would require Dr. Steinberg to place a crown. For instance, a crown is necessary after a root canal procedure, or often when a tooth is chipped or cracked due to accident, decay, an improperly aligned bite or simply age.
A crown may also be right for you if you:
- Have lost a filling
- Develop decay below a filling
- Are replacing a missing tooth with a single dental implant
- Have chipped or cracked your tooth's enamel
Types of Dental Crowns
Different types of dental crowns suit different needs. The type of crown you and Dr. Steinberg decide is best will depend on its placement in the mouth as well as your needs and budget. These types include all-porcelain crowns, porcelain fused to metal crowns, and porcelain fused to zirconia crowns.
