Restore Strength, Function, and Beauty of Your Smile with High-quality Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a customized cap designed to match your tooth’s color, size, and shape. It encapsulates your entire tooth, correcting numerous structural and cosmetic issues. 

Here are the problems we can address with dental crowns: 

• Severe tooth damage: Whether it’s a fractured or decayed tooth, we can fix it with a dental crown. The crown repairs the damage and strengthens the tooth against unexpected future breakdowns or repairs.
• Missing teeth: Living with a missing tooth can affect how you eat, speak, or chew. Enjoy a healthy, complete smile with dental crowns. We can pair a dental crown with a dental implant or bridge to replace missing teeth.
• Weakened tooth: We can use a dental crown to reinforce a tooth structurally weakened by a root canal or other reasons.
• Discolored tooth: Since a dental crown encapsulates the entire tooth, it can correct almost any cosmetic issue. We can use dental crowns to cosmetically modify a discolored, misaligned, or decayed tooth.

Creating a flawless dental crown requires careful planning and precise execution. Any slight errors in your restoration can mess up your alignment, bite, and overall aesthetics. Dr. Kreiner designs and places dental crowns that look and feel right. Your crowns fit snugly, look realistic, and sync with your natural bite.  

The rumor is true—dental crowns can’t develop cavities. However, the tooth underneath isn’t immune to decay. Observe the tips below to prolong the natural life of your crowns.

• Brush your teeth with non-abrasive, fluoride-based toothpaste.
• Floss your teeth daily, especially before bedtime.
• Avoid using your teeth to chew anything besides food.
• Wear a custom nightguard if you brux your teeth or play sports.
• Visit a dentist every six months for routine cleanings.

Dental crowns aren’t permanent but can last several years with good care. Dental crowns can last 10-15 years, but don’t be surprised if they remain beautiful and functional for up to 20 years!

A damaged or decayed tooth limits you to a soft diet, and smiling is never the same. D. Bartholomew G. Kreiner, D.D.S., can change all that with high-quality dental crowns in Bel Air, MD.
