Are You In Need Of A Porcelain Crown?
Certain treatments we perform in our office are more common than others. One we perform every single day is a filling to restore a decayed tooth. Porcelain crowns are just as common as fillings. Have we recommended that you or a loved one get a porcelain crown, and you have yet to schedule the appointment? We want to assure you that this treatment is routine and nothing to be nervous about. We want to explain more about this treatment to help you feel more comfortable scheduling it with us.
What is a Porcelain Crown?
A porcelain crown is a tooth-colored cap that covers a damaged, decaying, or cracked tooth to protect it from further damage. The goal of a dental crown is to restore the shape and function of the tooth structure. A dental crown can be used for a variety of reasons, including to complete other treatments, such as a dental implant or a root canal. We may recommend a dental crown to:
- Strengthen a tooth with little structure remaining
- Fix a cracked or chipped tooth
- Replace a tooth with a large filling that has another cavity
- Cover an oddly shaped or severely discolored tooth
Don’t Delay Treatment
If we recommend a porcelain crown to you or a loved one, it is important that you schedule the appointment in a timely manner. Dental issues do not heal or improve on their own. They require intervention, or the condition will continue to worsen and require more extensive and invasive treatment, like a tooth extraction. We want to help our patients avoid this at all costs.
If you or a loved one needs a porcelain crown and ready to schedule an appointment, we encourage you to contact our office located in St. Marys, GA. Our caring and compassionate team will be more than happy to help you. We hope to see you soon!
