Why choose dental crowns to restore your teeth

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped dental caps that restore the shape, size and or strength of your teeth, while giving your smile an overall improved appearance. There are several reasons people may opt for dental crowns, apart from being an excellent way to enhance the beautiful smile they have always dreamed of:

• Teeth crowns can provide protection for weaker teeth from breaking due to decay as well as protect already decaying teeth from more decay.
• These tooth-shaped dental caps can also restore and reshape your chipped or cracked teeth and even hold dental bridges.
• Dental crowns can cover ugly metal fillings, discolored teeth, and dental implants.
• Porcelain crowns are a great idea for a smile makeover.

Are there possible problems with dental crowns?
It is normal at first to experience discomfort with your new crowns, but you will soon get used to it. Most often, the tooth with its new crown may still have a nerve, which causes you to become sensitive to both cold and heat in your mouth. Your dentist may recommend using toothpaste for sensitive teeth. A regular visit to your dentists at Ballantyne Center for Dentistry can be helpful when it comes to checking and maintaining your dental crowns.

Knowing the different types of dental crowns can give you some idea which type you would prefer when you go to see your Charlotte cosmetic dentists. Dental crowns can do wonders to improve your confidence and give you reasons to enjoy life. At Ballantyne Center for Dentistry, we make sure it happens!
