Dental Crowns: A Long-term Solution for Restoring Damaged Teeth

How can you measure the value of your smile? A gorgeous smile can open doors socially and professionally and give you greater happiness and confidence in life. Keeping your smile healthy and attractive can be challenging when you aren’t born with perfect teeth. Dental crowns can help boost your smile’s health, function, and beauty in the long term to keep it looking and feeling its best. At Whiting Dental in Mesa, Arizona, Drs. Ben Whiting and Scott Staufer offer new dental crowns to our patients.

About Dental Crowns

Ideally, your teeth should last you for life. However, untreated decay and injuries can shorten the lifespan of your teeth, resulting in unexpected tooth loss. Crowns are custom-made caps that help restore damaged or decayed teeth and prevent premature loss. A crown will completely cover your tooth, giving it a stronger, healthier structure for smiling, biting, and chewing. This enables you to continue using your tooth in the future.   

Crowns are made of different materials to meet your smile’s functional and aesthetic needs. A porcelain or zirconia crown will look as natural as your real teeth and fit seamlessly with your smile. Crowns can address multiple problems with your teeth to enhance your grin and restore your oral health. Here are some of the long-term benefits you stand to gain from dental crowns:

• Long-term Protection: Crowns form a protective shield around weak or damaged teeth to prevent further damage. They create a bubble of protection against decay, infection, and breakage. With proper care, your crown can last over ten years, making it a long-term investment in the integrity of your smile.
• Functionality: When you crown a tooth, the crown becomes your tooth’s new exterior structure. Whether your tooth suffered structural damage from an accident, had a large filling, or went through a root canal, a dental crown can restore its full functionality so it can continue to be used. The crown will bear the force of biting and chewing, allowing you to eat normally once more. You can chew and grind food comfortably without feeling pain or discomfort. 
• Esthetics: Porcelain crowns restore the beauty of your smile by restoring its shape, color, and texture. We’ll customize your crown to match the physical attributes of your natural teeth so that it fits right in. Your smile will retain a healthy, attractive, natural-looking appearance. 
• Versatility: Drs. Whiting and Stauffer offer versatile crown dental services tailored to your unique dental needs. Dental crowns can protect weak teeth, restore damaged teeth, or support teeth with large fillings. Our crowns can strengthen root canal teeth, support dental bridges, or even replace missing teeth with implant treatment. Dental crowns can resolve multiple dental issues to restore your smile’s health, function, and beauty.
