Restore Your Smile With Thornton’s Top Provider for Dental Crowns

A dental crown solves several oral health problems, improves the look of a tooth, and is a great fix for many problem teeth. Dental crowns are an excellent way to fill a gap or strengthen, repair, and protect a tooth!

What is a Dental Crown?

Essentially, a dental crown is simply a tooth-shaped cap used to cover a tooth or to use in place of a missing tooth. A dental crown restores the strength, size, shape, and appearance of a tooth or teeth. Dental crowns are available in a range of materials including metals and all-resin.

At Barron Family Dental in Thornton, CO, we use only use dental crowns made of full porcelain. Using a crown with any metal content can show gray at the gum line, which ages patients unnecessarily and isn’t attractive. Barron Family Dental crowns are made of porcelain that is a superior material, is strong, and looks like your natural teeth.

Reasons You Might Need a Dental Crown

Crowns are durable to provide patients with full functionality of their teeth. Patients also find they can talk and eat better and without discomfort when a dental crown has been placed over an inadequate tooth.

Barron Family Dental effectively uses crowns for several restorative reasons:

• Large fillings: Some cavities have caused damage to up to half the width of a tooth and require a large filling. If this is the case, a crown becomes necessary to strengthen the tooth and avoid it fracturing under stress.
• Cracked or broken tooth: Patients who have had a fracture inside the tooth can experience pain when chewing. A crown is needed to keep the tooth together, avoid further cracking, and minimize the biting pain.
• Root canal: Because a root canal hollows a tooth, it can leave the tooth weaker so it may crack over time. A dental crown offers protection after a root canal procedure.
• Wearing teeth: Some patients suffer from grinding or clenching their teeth, known as bruxism. Over time, a tooth can be completely worn out or worn down, rubbing off the tooth’s enamel and exposing the soft dentin. A crown is used to protect teeth and restore functionality.
• Cosmetic: Dental crowns are sometimes an option to cover discolored or misshaped teeth. A dental crown can also be used to cover a dental implant or help teeth look more attractive and uniform.
