Your Katoomba dentist recommends dental crowns for various reasons, including the following:
- Deep tooth decay that is too advanced for a tooth-coloured filling
- A tooth treated for root canal infection that is no longer stable
- A tooth that has been damaged or broken
Dental crowns also connect bridge teeth to biological teeth, and they top dental implant posts. Some patients also choose tooth crowns to hide smile flaws like tooth discolouration, chips, and shape issues.
When Your Dentist Recommends a Dental Crown in Katoomba
Dental crowns restore stability to a tooth at risk for loss or breakage. If your dentist suggests a tooth crown to treat a cavity, it is because too much of the tooth structure was lost to decay, and a filling will not restore that structure.
Tooth crowns create a safe space between the damaged tooth and your bite force. They also look identical to uncrowned teeth.
