A dental crown is used to restore strength, shape, and appearance to a damaged or weakened tooth.
What Problems Can Crowns Fix?
At Evolve Dental Care, we offer dental crowns in Allentown, PA, to help protect teeth that have been compromised by:
- Tooth decay
- Large fillings
- Fractures
- Root canal treatment
Why Might I Need a Dental Crown?
A crown acts like a cap that completely covers your tooth. It preserves the tooth for the long haul and helps you maintain proper function and a natural-looking smile. As your trusted Allentown dentist, we may also recommend a crown to improve the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth, or to support a dental bridge.
From What Materials Are Crowns Made?
Modern dental crowns are made from durable materials, like porcelain or zirconia, that mimic the look of natural enamel while providing reliable protection. They're comfortable and custom-made to fit your unique smile and lifestyle. Plus, they look so natural that no one will even be able to tell you've had dental work done.
How to Care for Your Dental Crown
Once we place your dental crown, caring for it is just as important as caring for your natural teeth. With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, a crown can last 10 to 15 years, or even longer.
Here are three simple care tips to keep your crown in great shape:
- Brush twice daily and floss gently around the crown.
- Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice, pens, or hard candy.
- Visit your Allentown dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings.
With the right care, your crown will protect your tooth and enhance your smile for years to come!
