Unfortunately, it’s possible for your teeth to become damaged because of decay or trauma. It may feel like there’s no way to get back the smile you once loved, but luckily, there are options to repair your damaged smile. Dr. Heather Hearon, Dr. Catherine Vargas, and Dr. Jonathan Lau at Wailuku Dental Group in Wailuku, HI, can explain how dental crowns can restore your damaged tooth and give you a strong smile that you can be proud of!
What Are Dental Crowns?
Damage can happen in your smile and can discourage you from smiling in public or may make it difficult to enjoy your favorite foods. Dental crowns from your dentist in Wailuku, HI, can restore your tooth by reinforcing it and strengthening a weakened tooth.
Dental crowns can be made of multiple materials, but are often made from porcelain, which will give it a completely natural look. Crowns can flawlessly blend into your smile, giving you a completely natural look that will go unnoticeable by others. They are custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of the rest of your teeth and will help you feel more confident in your restoration.
Dental crowns are used to completely cover your damaged tooth down to the gums, giving your tooth total protection from any further damage. This will also reinforce your tooth and make it easy to bite and chew again, giving you the confidence and ability to enjoy the foods you may have been avoiding because of your damaged smile.
With proper care, your dental crown can last for years without adjustments. Luckily, caring for your crown is easy. As long as you brush and floss daily, as well as visit your dentist for regular checkups, your crown should stay clean and free of any further issues.
