Did you know that your tooth enamel is one of the hardest substances in the human body? The outer protective layer of your tooth safeguards your smile against injury and bacteria. Unfortunately, a variety of factors can weaken enamel, allowing bacteria to reach your inner tooth structure. When this happens, you may develop tooth decay or gum disease, threatening the stability of your smile. In order to restore a tooth damaged by injury, decay, or periodontal disease, we offer dental crowns. In today’s blog, your Richardson dentist, Dr. Diep Truong, explains how dental crowns can return a tooth to full function and appearance.
