A dental crown, also sometimes called a ‘cap,’ is used to restore and protect a tooth that has been severely worn down, damaged, or cracked. A crown protects a weakened tooth from future catastrophic damage. If a crown is needed, but not done, this may increase the risk to eventually lose that tooth in the future.
Signs You May Need a Crown
You notice crack lines in your tooth
Your tooth is completely or partially broken
Your tooth has a very large filling that has started to break down
You have had a recent Root Canal Therapy performed on a tooth.
White Pine Dental Health offers both classic Gold Crowns as well as modern Tooth Colored Porcelain Crowns. Your crown is a long-term solution, for long-term dental stability and health.
Tooth Bridges
A dental bridge is the classic solution to replace a single missing tooth. A bridge will use the support of neighboring teeth to hold a new tooth to fill the missing space.
A pre-made night-guard from a store simply is not made for your bite. So the odds that a store-bought appliance will correct your bite are very low. A professional Bite Splint is a true medical appliance, customized for your bite.
