There have never been more options available to fix dental imperfections or replace missing teeth. Dental crowns are like a jack of all trades in the dentistry world due to the fact that they can fix a number of problems from cosmetic damage to restoring a badly decayed tooth. Here at Brooks Cosmetic & Family Dentistry in McDonough, GA, Dr. Robert Brooks and Dr. Brent Johnson offer cosmetic, general, and emergency dental services for patients of all ages—read on to learn how dental crowns are used in all of these different contexts!

What Crowns Can Do for You

Dental crowns do more than improve the cosmetic appearance of your teeth. One of the most common functions of dental crowns is to restore a broken or badly decayed tooth. For example, if a cavity is too large to treat with a standard dental filling, a dental crown allows the dentist to preserve what's left of the tooth. A crown can restore the tooth and protect you from further oral health problems and more invasive and costly dental treatment in the future.

How Dental Crowns Can Complete Your Smile After Tooth Loss

Crowns play a factor in every tooth replacement method. One option is a dental bridge, which consists of a set of abutment crowns that are placed over the teeth on either side of the missing tooth to secure the crown in place. Another option is dental implants, which consist of a small titanium prosthetic that is surgically placed in the socket of the missing tooth to replace the root. The cosmetic crown is attached to the implant via an abutment. After a comprehensive dental exam and evaluation, our dentists will recommend the cosmetic or restorative solution that is best for you.
