Dental crowns have many important uses, including restoring your bite force.
Dental crowns can protect weak and at-risk teeth. They anchor bridge teeth and cap dental implants. They are also used in cosmetic dentistry to conceal tooth imperfections like chips, wear, and discoloration.
They are tooth caps, custom-designed to look like your untreated teeth. They cover teeth to the gumline and offer a safety zone between chewing and the tooth beneath the crown.
Eating with a Dental Crown
You can enjoy your favorite foods with a dental crown. However, we recommend not biting into toffee or hard, sticky foods with the crown. And please never use your teeth or restorations as tools. Use them only for eating and smiling.
Always keep your crown clean—brush it and floss around the restoration. Also, continue visiting your dentist for exams and teeth cleanings.
With proper care, your crown can last for more than a decade and sometimes much longer!
