Many people already know that dental crowns can be used to restore a tooth that is too weak from decay or injury. After a root canal procedure, for instance, a crown is used to give the treated tooth enough strength to survive chewing forces. A lot people do not realize that crowns can also be used for purely cosmetic reasons.
If you have a tooth that is misshapen, our San Fernando Valley cosmetic dentist can use a crown to restore it to a better aesthetic. The same holds true for a tooth that has been severely discolored. Especially for a tooth in the back of your mouth, it may make more sense to have a crown fit as opposed to a veneer. Sometimes in the case of bruxism, crowns can be used to hide the damage that has been caused to your teeth.
In the past, it was more common to restore a tooth with a metal crown. Today, porcelain crowns offer a way to replace a metal crown with a more aesthetically pleasing, tooth-colored crown.
If you have a cosmetic reason that you would like to have a dental crown placed, contact our expert in porcelain crowns in San Fernando Valley to schedule a consultation.
