In today’s blog, your Dallas dentist, Dr. Diep Truong, addresses frequently asked questions about the restorative capabilities of dental crowns.
Dental Crown Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What is a dental crown?
Answer: A crown is a cap that fits completely over the visible portion of a tooth. Crowns protect the remaining tooth structure, preventing further decay or infection. Our crowns are custom-made and the fit checked for accuracy and comfort.
Question: Can crowns be used in tooth replacement procedures?
Answer: Yes. Crowns are often used to replace a missing tooth in dental bridge or dental implant procedures.
Question: Do crowns look natural?
Answer: Yes. Many of our crowns are made from or coated in dental ceramic. This porcelain material reflects light in a similar manner as tooth enamel. Furthermore, your crowns can be shaded to ensure your restoration blends seamlessly with your smile.
Question: How long will my crown last?
Answer: With proper dental maintenance, your crown can provide decades of quality restoration. First, always brush your teeth twice a day and floss once. These simple steps help cleanse the mouth of harmful bacteria and stray food particles, aiding in the prevention of tooth decay and gum disease. Remember to also attend routine checkups and cleanings with your Dallas TX cosmetic dentist. During these visits, Dr. Truong will assess the state of your restorations and ensure your crowns remain intact.
