Discover all the cool benefits that dental crowns can offer your smile.

A dental crown is a cap that is made to look just like the crown of a tooth. It’s hollow, which allows our Scarsdale, NY dentist, Dr. Jeffrey Pike, to place the crown over a damaged tooth in order to restore it. Why a dental crown might not look like much, you may be surprised to discover that it has many purposes. Here’s what a dental crown can do for you,

Provide you with a natural-looking restoration

When you turn to our Scarsdale, NY family dentist for dental crowns and other restorations know that we use strong, durable porcelain to create your crown. Not only does porcelain mimic the color, appearance, and translucency of real tooth enamel, it is also incredibly tough and resilient. Porcelain crowns can really hold up under the weight of chewing forces, lasting up to 15-20 years with the proper care.

A tooth that’s resistant to stains

You’ll also be happy to hear that this little tooth-shaped cap is impervious to stains thanks to the medical-grade porcelain we use. Porcelain is stain-resistant, which makes it a superior choice when getting a dental crown. Of course, you still need to make sure that you are brushing and flossing your crown every day to keep it looking its best.

Preserve your natural smile

The goal of our dental team is to always preserve your own natural teeth whenever we can, and sometimes the best way to do that is by getting dental crowns. A dental crown covers the crown of a tooth to provide a stronger and more protective barrier around the tooth to prevent further damage. A crown makes it easier to speak and chew without worrying about your weak or already damaged tooth.

Improve your smile’s appearance

A dental crown can also drastically improve the shape and appearance of a tooth, which can certainly come in handy if you also happen to have a damaged tooth that is also misshapen or discolored. A crown is a custom made to fit your needs, so whether you want a crown that blends in with your newly whitened smile or you want one that reshapes a tooth so that your smile is more symmetrical, we can help create the custom crown you need for amazing smile results.
