When a tooth is too decayed or broken for a filling, a crown restores its shape, strength, and function.
Benefits of Choosing a Dental Crown
Dental crowns are versatile tooth coverings, commonly made of porcelain or zirconia, that completely encase a tooth. They are often called caps or tooth caps, and At Topeka Dentistry, we commonly recommend them for the following reasons:
- Restore a badly decayed tooth
- Protect a broken tooth
- Strengthen a cracked tooth
- Support a dental bridge
- Enhance a tooth’s appearance
- Protect a tooth after root canal treatment
Getting crowns in Topeka typically requires two appointments. During the first, your dentist carefully shapes the tooth and takes impressions. A custom dental lab fabricates your new restoration, and when it’s ready, you return for your second appointment to have it placed on your tooth.
A tooth crown is a durable solution that stands up well to daily wear and tear. With proper care, a well-made crown from Topeka Dentistry can last as long as 15 years, sometimes even longer.
