Most of us are born with a perfect set of permanent teeth, just waiting to come in when the time is right. As children and teens, our smiles usually stay gorgeous. But life happens. A tooth can break. Or become decayed. And then there are the stains and other things that can make a tooth look less than awesome. However, various things can also cause a tooth to become weak.
At Westwood Dentistry, Dr. Monica Anand and Dr. Anshuman Rawat have a great fix for all of that: cosmetic tooth crowns. These custom caps cover your entire tooth, making it strong again and looking like new.
When a tooth is badly decayed or damaged, it can be too weak to function well for you. You might not even be able to chew on that side. A porcelain crown fixes that. It brings back the strength your tooth had before the problems started. You’ll be back to chewing like normal again.
Why do you need crowns on teeth? They can fix any of these issues:
In the past, you had to go to the dentist’s office two or three times to get your crown. Not so anymore. Dr. Anand and Dr. Rawat can prep your tooth and make a custom-fitted crown all in the same appointment. The scan, prep, crown design, and placement are all done while you wait.
If you take good care of your teeth, a porcelain crown can last for 10 or 15 years—maybe even longer. Keep brushing and flossing twice a day. And also, very important, get your check-ups and cleanings every four to six months.
A crown is like a helmet for your tooth. If you have a weak tooth, chewing can break it. And it can also be uncomfortable to chew on it. A crown protects your weak tooth from becoming more damaged. You can save your tooth.
The crown you get at Westwood Dentistry is extremely precise. The scanning process maps out every detail and is used to craft a crown that’s a perfect fit. Biting down is comfortable, not bulky.
