Have you ever thought about the characteristics of a dental crown? You may immediately notice that once we place a crown, it’s like you have a new tooth in your mouth. This, of course, is the essence of what makes crowns such wonderful restorative options. However, we invite you to dig a bit deeper with your knowledge of crowns as a means of appreciating how a restoration that is so small can offer such a big amount of improvement to your smile.

Strength

A crown offers exceptional strength, whether you receive a cosmetic crown for anterior visible teeth or a metal crown for a back tooth in serious need of restoration. Though small, these crowns are crafted with attention to detail – they must, after all, be able to support the immense pressure that comes with daily speaking and chewing. This means you can go about your life without worrying about your smile.

Longevity

A dental crown can last for several years. In fact, it is safe to say that a crown placed in your mouth should remain for approximately 15 years if not longer, which means this is a restoration that will continue to perform.

Beauty

In the case of a crown that is crafted to offer cosmetic value, such as a zirconia or porcelain crown, you can rest easy – your smile will look beautiful. All crowns, of course, are carefully constructed to fit with the dimensions of your smile. These dental crowns are matched to the color of your teeth with the use of lifelike materials, so your smile looks natural.

Protection

A crown provides a tooth with complete coverage, which means you will receive absolute protection. Tooth tissue beneath will remain intact, while you rely on the crown for daily use.
