Why do I Need a Dental Crown? Here are 5 Reasons

Barsanti Dental Group offers one-visit crowns, thanks to advanced CEREC technology. This innovative tech allows us to plan, create, and place crowns in a single appointment. CEREC crowns eliminate the drawn-out procedure, which is synonymous with conventional dental crowns. 

So, why do you need a dental crown? Here are the possible reasons: 

1.  Repair severe tooth damage: A damaged tooth can compromise how you chew or speak. Worse yet, it can invite harmful bacteria, resulting in widespread infections. A crown can cover and protect a tooth if it is severely chipped, cracked, or worn down. This restores your ability to chew without pain and protects the tooth from further damage.
2.  Replace missing teeth: Have you lost a tooth because of trauma, advanced decay, or gum disease? Gaps in your smile can affect your confidence, comfort, and functionality. Dr. Barsanti can pair a crown with a bridge or implant to replace one or more missing teeth. Crowns complete the restoration so your smile looks and feels natural.
3.  Strengthen a weakened tooth: Sometimes, teeth become weak from decay or root canal treatment. A weakened tooth diminishes your chewing power, limiting you to soft foods. A crown adds strength and support, ensuring the tooth can handle everyday chewing.
4.  Improve aesthetics: Dental crowns are popular in restorative dentistry, but offer more. Dental crowns can enhance the aesthetic appeal of your teeth. They can cover discolored, misshapen, or uneven teeth, giving you a brighter, more attractive smile. Dr. Barsanti and the team create premium crowns that achieve veneer-like outcomes. Our patients are pleased with the results, and we are confident you’ll love your outcomes. 
5.  Replace large fillings: Dental fillings are incredible at repairing and restoring teeth. Unfortunately, they may be inappropriate in some cases. When a filling is too big, the tooth around it can weaken and break. A crown replaces the filling and protects the tooth, offering a longer-lasting solution.

Imagine a version of yourself beaming confidently, unafraid to smile or speak because of a damaged or unattractive tooth. Your smile reflects your inner glow and vitality, so don’t let tooth decay or damage compromise that. Dental crowns in Arcata, California, are an excellent solution for restoring your smile to its optimal state.
