Porcelain Crowns: Versatile Restorative Dentistry Treatment

You’re busy. You’re embarrassed by your smile. You want better teeth and you want them sooner rather than later. How do you get the most efficient restorative dentistry treatment possible? Choose porcelain crowns. If you want an aesthetic treatment that will correct your oral health complaints while giving you a functionally sound and amazing-looking smile, porcelain crowns are one of the most versatile solutions offered by your Haymarket dental office.

What Makes Porcelain Crowns So Great?

Tooth repairs don’t have to be complicated to be impactful. Porcelain crowns are a versatile restorative dentistry treatment that is durable, long-lasting, and, above all, matched to the color of your natural teeth. If you have an unsightly tooth, a crown will cover it and make you want to smile again.

Problems Corrected by Porcelain Crowns

So how do you know if you qualify for a porcelain crown? Only your Haymarket dentist can tell you for certain, but if any of the following applies to you, a crown just might be what you’re looking for: 

• Chipped tooth. When a tooth is chipped, particularly a front tooth, the problem is more aesthetic than functional. A crown covers the missing area, and makes you less self-conscious about your smile.
• Fractured tooth. If your tooth has been severely damaged or traumatized because of an injury or accident, a fracture may result. This may create a need for repairs like root canal therapy before a crown can be put in place, but a crown will be the finishing touch that makes your tooth look like your own again.
• Old dental work. If you’ve had a crown for a few decades, or if you have other types of dental work that is failing you, a new porcelain crown can take the place of these problems in your smile. If it’s an old crown that’s plaguing you, chances are that newer dental innovations will make your crown look far better than it did before.
• Deep stains. Teeth whitening treatments are amazing, but they do not fix everything. If your teeth have intrinsic stains that are below the surface of your enamel, a porcelain crown can be used to cover the discoloration.
• Decayed tooth. A tooth that is suffering from major decay is not always best treated with a tooth-colored filling. One of the most effective ways to cover a tooth that has just been tended to for decay is by covering it with a porcelain crown.
• Weak or old teeth. Teeth that have been compromised in some way, whether by age or illness or injury, need support. Porcelain crowns serve as that support, restoring the appearance of your smile while also making your tooth fully functional again.

Ultimately, the job of a porcelain crown is to cover a tooth and make it look better. Whether the crown is concealing a repair or a misshapen tooth doesn’t matter (well, to your Haymarket dentist it matters). The repair works in so many oral health situations. 

Your teeth will be restored, protected, supported, beautified, and supported by a well-made and expertly place porcelain crown. Make an appointment to see your Haymarket dentist, Dr. Sina Reangber, to discuss porcelain crowns and any other restorative dentistry treatments that are right for your oral health concerns.
