Sometimes all it takes is a cracked or broken tooth to ruin a beautiful smile. And if you are one of the millions of Americans living with partial or full tooth loss, everything from eating your favorite foods and smiling for pictures to engaging in social and professional activities can be challenging. Whatever your situation, your oral health and the cosmetic appearance of your smile plays an important role in your overall quality of life. But fixing your teeth does not have to be a complicated or painful process. Dental crowns are one of the most reliable methods available to fix some of the most common dental problems like chips and cracks, tooth decay, and missing teeth. Dr. Robert Sanford, a dentist in Allentown, PA, offers cosmetic and general dentistry services for the Salisbury, Wescosville, & Westwood Heights areas.
Makeover Your Smile with Dental Crowns in Allentown, PA
Dental crowns (also known as caps because they literally cover a damaged tooth) have been around almost as long as the practice of dentistry itself, but have evolved so that modern crowns look and function just like a natural tooth. The most common uses for dental crowns include:
- Severe tooth decay (crowns are used instead of standard dental fillings when a cavity is too large and a significant portion of the tooth surface is missing)
- Broken or fractured teeth
- Replace missing teeth through bridgework or dental implants
Crowns can also be a good option to fix extensive cosmetic damage.
