Durable Dental Crowns
Your Smile Can be Improved With a Crown
Dental crowns offer protection for the tooth underneath. They also offer a more pleasing appearance for compromised teeth.
Choosing a dental crown may be a matter of necessity or it might be a matter of creating a more pleasing smile.
In either case, the team at Alpha Dental Care will help create the best looking solution with a crown that’s carefully crafted to match your own tooth.
Why You May Need a Dental Crown
The use of a dental crown can offer a good solution for a number of issues, such as:
- Root Canal Treatment: Often, depending on the damage to the tooth, a dental crown offers the best option to strengthen a tooth after root canal therapy.
- Restoration: A dental crown is a common restoration option for teeth that are severely damaged or weak.
- Cosmetic: In some cases, a crown may be used to improve the appearance of a tooth. This might be the case for a tooth that’s been damaged, is misshapen or discoloured, or is otherwise showing the effects of aging.
Protecting Your Dental Crown from Grinding and Clenching
Dental crowns are designed to be durable, but they can still be exposed to excessive pressure from nighttime teeth grinding or jaw clenching. Over time, these repeated forces may contribute to wear, chipping or damage to the crown or the natural tooth supporting it.
If you grind or clench your teeth, your dentist may recommend a custom nightguard to help protect your crown and surrounding teeth while you sleep. A nightguard creates a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth and helps distribute some of the pressure created by grinding. Learn more about our custom nightguards in Calgary.
