At Essenmacher Family Dental, we strive to repair and protect the teeth you have as part of our preventive dental approach. We use high-quality, tooth-colored crowns for that purpose in our Northeast Heights dental office, which gives our patients a reason to smile confidently again.
Crowns Repair Broken Teeth
If you crack or break a tooth while eating, chances are it might have already been damaged from teeth grinding or simply from day-to-day use. To avoid continued damage that leads to a tooth extraction, placing a crown over the tooth reduces sensitivity and absorbs the force from chewing for many years to come.
Our beautiful, custom dental crowns also match your smile and build confidence in your appearance.
Crowns Protect Damaged or Treated Teeth
Chipped, cracked, and heavily restored teeth might feel sensitive when chewing or when exposed to cold drinks or yummy foods like ice cream. Dr. Lindsay Essenmacher will discuss these symptoms with you and determine if dental crowns might benefit you.
Dental crowns also add reinforcement to root canal-treated teeth, which often become brittle after your procedure. The combination of a root canal and crown can add decades to the life of your tooth.
Crowns Make Worn Teeth Whole Again
If you clench and grind your teeth during sleep or when you feel overly stressed, a dental crown will provide a barrier to protect the nerve and make chewing comfortable again. Worn teeth often look small and aged. Dental crowns will restore the comfort of your tooth, and also the beauty.
To protect patients from damaging their natural teeth and their dental crowns from continued wear and fractures due to a teeth-grinding habit, Dr. Essenmacher may recommend a nightguard.
