Should I Have An Old Dental Crown Replaced?

Are you concerned with an older dental crown that feels less secure, or seems to offer less support? It is important to remember that crowns are expected to offer protection for a tooth against future dental troubles, while also absorbing biting and chewing pressures. Both of these qualities contribute to your overall oral health – an infection in a tooth can lead to obvious concerns, and a compromised bite can create unexpected difficulties. Let your Reno, NV dentist know if you think your older crown might need to be replaced. You can receive a modern dental crown that provides excellent support, and you can look forward to the cosmetic benefits that come with a modern, life-like crown made from ceramic. 

What To Expect From A Dental Crown Today

Modern dental crowns offer a quality appearance and long-term protection as a package deal. In many cases, you can look forward to receiving an all-ceramic crown that mimics the look of a natural, healthy tooth. These crowns can supply you with great protection, but in cases where you need to address a problem with a molar or pre-molar, your dentist might recommend a different substance. A porcelain-fused-to-metal crown has esthetic benefits, but the metal underneath the porcelain exterior can provide extra security.

Keeping Track Of Your Oral Health Needs By Attending Routine Exams

Will you know when a dental crown, or dental filling, is in need of replacement? You can certainly recognize when something is wrong, but if you want input on the condition of a restoration before problems arise, make sure you attend regular dental checkups. During these visits, your dentist will check on the condition of fillings and crowns, just as they check on the condition of your teeth and gums.
