Issues Dental Crowns or Bridges Can Fix

Dental crowns and bridges are excellent solutions for various dental issues. Some of the problems crowns or bridges can fix, prevent, or manage include:

Treat Deep Cavities or Weak Large Fillings

If you have a large deep filling, it will be weak and more susceptible to fracture. Getting a dental crown will fix the issue, and protect your teeth from further damage.

Cracked, Broken, or Chipped Tooth

Dental crowns are the only options for correcting and restoring the appearance of a chipped, cracked, broken, or severely damaged tooth that fillings or veneers cannot fix.

Root Canal

If you have undergone a root canal treatment, you will likely need a crown to protect and strengthen your tooth or restore its functionality and structural integrity. A root canal typically weakens the tooth and increases the risk of breaking by leaving it hollowed.

Teeth Misalignment and Appearance Issues

The gaps in your teeth will not just dent your smile; they can also change the structure of your jawbone and face. Your teeth may also shift and lead to an unbalanced bite, increasing your risk for enamel erosion, gum disease, tooth decay, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. Thankfully, a dental crown can fix your tooth’s appearance and correct misalignment issues.

Speech and Pronunciation Problems

Front teeth are essential for pronouncing certain words or sounds. If missing teeth impairs your normal speech, getting dental will help restore your teeth and fix your pronunciation issues.
