11 May Why Should You Get A Dental Crown?
“Why do I need a dental crown,” you ask? Crowns offer the next level of protection beyond that of a filling. Like root canals, they’re one of the last lines of defence Dr. Durisin has against potential tooth loss. We may prescribe a dental crown if you’re experiencing situations related to:
- Root canal therapy
- Severe enamel wear
- Deep cracks or fractures
- Large cavities
- Replacing older, larger, leaky fillings
So, what happens if you don’t get a crown?
Then the structurally compromised tooth structure will be likely to break and fracture during everyday use. Avoiding a crown TODAY could lead to needing a root canal TOMORROW.
What Are The Risks & Pain Associated With Avoiding Getting A Dental Crown?
The greatest risks of dental crown treatment are actually associated with not getting a dental crown. When we fail to protect structurally compromised teeth, it’s simply a matter of time before the tooth breaks down with everyday use. Placing a crown over your tooth helps to extend the functional lifetime of both the individual tooth and your overall smile. And like any other type of restorative or cosmetic dentistry in Orange County that we offer, your comfort is extremely important to us. You can expect each crown to be applied in a gentle, caring manner. In contrast, avoiding crown treatment would put you at risk for serious pain and dental emergencies in the foreseeable future.
