Restoring the smile after damage or trauma can be achieved by working with a Santa Clarita dentist such as Dr. Sarkis Aznavour. In many situations, he may recommend patients consider the benefits of placing dental crowns.
Crowns are restorations made specifically for patients who may be faced with a broken tooth, a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy, or who are looking to restore a dental implant to act as a false tooth. These situations are often improved by creating and bonding a dental crown in place. Also known as “caps,” these restorations are custom-made and can provide an extra layer of protection for a weakened tooth. They can also act as false teeth when placed over the abutment of a dental crown.
While there are dentists who provide metal crowns, many patients avoid these because of their appearance. Instead, the team of Health Smiles Dental focuses on utilizing ceramic crowns. These crowns appear more natural and can be difficult to discern within the smile.
Candidates are patients with a healthy smile who need to repair a natural tooth structure or cover a dental implant. Patients may be advised by their dentist that they can benefit from the placement of a crown restoration.
Crowns have several advantages for patients to consider. They are affordable, and commonly used in general and restorative dentistry. The porcelain used to fabricate them closely resembles the natural tooth enamel, allowing it to blend in beautifully with the smile. Patients also find that they are strong and long-lasting.
