In many cases, a dental crown can save a cracked or damaged tooth. However, your dentist in Greeley will assess the tooth to ensure that it can be salvaged.
If we cannot save the tooth, it’s important to consider tooth replacement, such as a dental implant, to maintain bite integrity and oral function.
Other Reasons Your Dentist Recommends a Tooth Crown
Dental crowns are a vital part of dentistry and offer many practical and important uses. For example, we use dental crowns to restore a tooth after root canal therapy or following a traumatic injury.
We also use them to top dental implant posts and connect bridge teeth to healthy teeth in tooth replacement.
If you have a short or worn tooth, we can use a crown to help level your bite.
Finally, patients sometimes choose dental crowns to conceal cosmetic flaws, such as:
- Short and worn teeth
- Discolored and stained teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
- An unusually shaped tooth
- A cracked tooth
- Other general flaws
