While many have heard of a dental crown and many probably already have them, most aren\u2019t exactly sure the overall purpose of a crown or how it helps. Despite popular belief, a dental crown is much more than just a protective cap. A crown is able to restore the health and function of a tooth, while enhancing its appearance and protecting the tooth from additional damage. As your dentist in Tulsa OK, we have everything you need to know about dental crowns.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What is a Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.colgate.com\/en\/us\/oc\/oral-health\/cosmetic-dentistry\/bridges-and-crowns\/article\/your-dental-crown-procedure-what-to-expect-0113\" target=\"_blank\">dental crown<\/a> is widely used in restorative and cosmetic dentistry due to the many benefits it offers and its wide degree of uses. Essentially, a dental crown is a custom-made cap that\u2019s fitted over a tooth and cemented in place. The reasons why a dental crown may be needed are diverse; however, overall the crowns are used to protect the integrity of a tooth once it has become damaged. The crowns allow the tooth\u2019s function to be restored by providing strength to the damaged tooth.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the Benefits of Dental Crowns?<\/h2>\n<p>Dental crowns are widely used in restorative dentistry to protect a tooth from additional damage after the tooth has suffered from decay or infection, such as when a root canal is needed. The decayed area of the tooth is removed and the tooth is sealed prior to having a crown placed on it. This protects the tooth, while restoring the tooth\u2019s health and function.<\/p>\n<p>Dental crowns are also used to protect teeth that have become weak or teeth that have broken or cracked. The crown will give a weakened tooth the support it needs to protect the longevity of a tooth. If a tooth has become broken or chipped, a cap will hold the tooth together, saving it from extraction while allowing you to regain the function of the tooth.<\/p>\n<p>In many cases, dental crowns are combined with other restorative procedures, such as with the use of a dental bridge. When missing teeth are replaced with a bridge, crowns are often attached to the adjacent teeth to anchor the bridge in place. In addition, crowns are also used to cover dental implants to provide a natural-looking and functioning tooth replacement.<\/p>\n<p>Dental crowns can also be used in cosmetic dentistry. When a tooth is misshaped or smaller than the other teeth, a custom-made dental crown can be used to enhance the appearance of the tooth. Crowns can also be used to mask severe discoloration of a tooth that isn\u2019t responding to whitening treatments.<\/p>\n<h2>Your Dentist in Tulsa OK<\/h2>\n<p>We provide custom dental crowns in Tulsa OK for a variety of reasons.
