Dental Crowns
Do you have damaged or decayed teeth that are affecting your appearance or making it hard to chew? Dental crowns can help restore your smile and tooth functionality — while protecting your teeth from infections!
What Are Dental Crowns Used For?
Our dentist in Corvallis OR uses these dental caps or coverings on damaged teeth to help them look more natural again and make chewing and talking easier. Crowns are used for many purposes, including:
- Securing dental bridges
- Protecting the inner tooth from bacteria after root canals
- Making weakened teeth stronger
- Improving smiles
- Completing dental implants
- Supporting fillings
- Improving tooth shape or size
What Types of Dental Crowns Are Available?
Porcelain is one of the most common types used for tooth restoration, since it offers a natural look. But you might have other options to choose from, depending on different factors. These other types may include:
- Porcelain fused to metal
- Gold or other metals
- Ceramic
- Resin
In some cases, you might wear temporary crowns until permanent ones are ready. Dental crowns last a long time, especially when they’re combined with routine cleanings and dental care.
