Cosmetic crowns not only protect damaged teeth, they also improve your smile. In Charlotte, North Carolina, Dr. Philip Hahn at Family Dental Choice offers cosmetic crowns to patients looking to improve their smile and support good oral health. Damaged or broken teeth can lower your confidence and eventually lead to dental health issues. Cosmetic crowns can replace missing teeth or cover and support teeth that have been damaged or broken.
The process of getting a dental crown is relatively straightforward. After cleaning the tooth thoroughly, your dentist will prepare the tooth and create the crown from impressions taken of the tooth. The crown will match the surrounding teeth’ color, shape, and size. Once your original tooth has been properly prepared, the crown will be placed and securely fastened. Typically, a dental crown procedure involves at least two visits to the dentist.
Cosmetic crowns can last for many years if they are correctly cared for. Ceramic or metallic crowns can last ten years or longer without showing any signs of wear and tear. Avoiding sticky foods or those that are hard to chew can prevent dislodging the crown or causing irreparable damage. Regular visits to the dentist are a must. Dr. Hahn can monitor your crowns and make sure they are in good condition.
Cosmetic crowns are excellent options for teeth that have been damaged or broken. They can also be used to support teeth that have been weakened due to how they formed. Cosmetic crowns can be considered to fill in the gaps where one or more teeth are missing. Dr. Hahn can show you how cosmetic crowns can be used to your advantage and answer any questions about how they will improve your smile.
Cosmetic crowns are easily taken care of. Along with regular visits to the dentist, brushing and flossing your teeth every day is a must. After eating, it’s a good idea to rinse your mouth with water or an ADA-approved mouthwash. If you experience any discomfort, contact your dentist immediately to ensure the cosmetic crown is still seated correctly. He can take care of any abnormalities that may be uncovered.
