When Are Dental Crowns Needed?

Dentists use crowns for several reasons. They are an excellent way to save a tooth that has been damaged due to an accident or decay. The dentist can repair the tooth and then put the crown in place to protect it from further damage by using a crown. Crowns are also helpful when it comes to restoring your smile. Depending on the type of material, they are solid and can last for many years. If you want to learn more about dental crown services in Middletown, Indiana, your first call should be to Dr. Jonathan Titus at Titus Dentistry.

Broken or Damaged Teeth

Dental crowns are made to cover broken or damaged teeth. Just the right amount of tint is added to the material to match the teeth that surround them. By placing them over teeth that have been broken or damaged by decay, the crown protects them from further damage until they can either be repaired or until a permanent crown is put in its place.

Missing Teeth

If a tooth is missing, the unsightly gap may make you self-conscious. It can also cause the surrounding teeth to shift from their original position. That causes your jaws to be out of alignment and can place additional pressure on your jawbone. The result can be more damaged teeth and pain in your TMJ joint. An implant or bridge that uses a crown will fill the gap, holding your other teeth in place and minimizing your pain and discomfort.

Temporary and Permanent Crowns

Dental crowns can be either temporary or permanent. Temporary crowns are often made of resin and are used to protect teeth that have recently undergone a root canal. The temporary crown is in place to ensure that the tooth is fully healed before the permanent crown is fixed in place. Permanent crowns are also placed over teeth that have been badly damaged by injury or tooth decay. Permanent crowns may be made of ceramic, zirconia, or metal, depending on where they are located in the mouth.
