Dental Crowns Benefits and Risks

Do you have teeth that are chipped or cracked or severely decayed? Lots of people have similar issues with the health and appearance of their teeth. There are a number of different solutions that are available for these issues, and the best treatment or group of treatments for your needs will be determined by our Fairfield, CT cosmetic dentist. During a consultation at his office, you will undergo a comprehensive dental health evaluation to figure out what is best going to meet your needs.

Say you have particularly chipped or cracked teeth, though. You may be wondering what dental treatment will be best for you in this case. Well, the answer is likely going to be Fairfield, CT dental crowns. Dental crowns are also known as dental caps in some places. Dental crowns are placed on top of the damaged or decayed tooth to protect it from further harm and to make it look more aesthetically pleasing. The dental crowns are custom matched to your existing teeth, both in terms of the color of the dental crowns and the shape of the dental crowns to ensure that they blend in.

One of the major benefits of getting dental crowns is that your teeth will no longer be a source of physical discomfort or social awkwardness. The dental crowns will protect your teeth from further damage as well as protecting your teeth from any agents that may cause acute sensitivity or pain. By capping the decayed tooth, your smile will look just as good as new.

There are very few risks associated with dental crowns. One hears of some cases in which the dental crowns will not be fitted properly to the tooth and may slide off. You also hear of some cases in which dental crowns were not the right solution, and perhaps tooth extraction and replacement would have been a better solution. At our office, however, we will not make such mistakes and will always use our best judgment and all treatments at our disposal to help enhance your overall health.
