A dental crown is in essence, and primarily, a protective cap that encases your entire tooth. Besides protection, it is also tooth-shaped so it can also address cosmetic concerns. There are a few reasons why you may need a crown and some common situations are listed below, but for more information please contact your local dentist in Shelby Township, MI, Dr. Shikha Sood of Sood Family Dental.

To Protect a Tooth

When teeth become injured they will need protection otherwise they will continue to be damaged through normal use. Fillings can help when dealing with smaller problems, but if the damage is large enough they may not be enough. In these cases, a dental crown is perfect for the job as it can fully protect your tooth as well as give it back its natural appearance.

To Save a Tooth

When a tooth is damaged even further and the inner chamber of the tooth is exposed then a root canal may be suggested by your dentist. Infection can spread into the center of the tooth and cause severe pain and from there threaten the rest of your mouth.

A root canal removes the soft tissue and infected parts of your tooth, thus alleviating pain and halting the spread of infection. But so much tooth structure is lost during the procedure that your tooth much be protected by a dental crown going forward.

To Restore

While a root canal can save your tooth, this outcome is not always possible. For these situations, your tooth may be restored employing common treatments such as bridgework or dental implants, both of which employ dental crowns as part of the procedure.

Bridges use crowns as both support and to replace the missing tooth, while dental implants are supported entirely by a titanium post which is implanted permanently onto the bone.
