DENTAL CROWNS IN HIGH PARK
A crown (or cap) is a covering that creates a tooth surface to protect, cover, seal and strengthen your tooth. Crowns are used in many different situations and often allow us to save a tooth that would otherwise be lost.
Situations where a crown may be the solution include;
- Larger fillings that have broken down or have formed decay around them may need a crown to save the tooth.
- A cracked tooth may need a crown to hold it together. Be careful not to wait too long as an untreated cracked tooth can become sensitive or eventually break.
- Sensitive Teeth, for example from a lot of wear, sometimes benefit from crowns to seal and protect them.
- A tooth that has broken may be too weak to hold a filling. A crown will hold the tooth together and prevent it from breaking again.
- A tooth that has undergone Root Canal Therapy will need a crown to properly seal and protect the tooth.
- Cosmetic Problems are sometimes best solved with the use of crowns.
Dr. Hahn will let you know if a crown is the solution for you.
