Crowns

As we get a little older, our teeth begin to change and are prone to decay.   There are many possible reasons for this change in your smile.  These reasons can include bruxism(teeth grinding), general decay, cracked fillings, root canals, and many others.  If your tooth is beyond repair with a filling material, we may recommend that the best viable option to save the tooth is a full crown.   The reasons for this type of restoration in a badly damaged tooth are durability, cosmetic appearance, and overall support of the chewing function.
