Dental Crowns, A Practical Remedy for Mending Broken Teeth

Trauma is one of the most common causes of a broken tooth, but you can also break a tooth by biting on hard candy. A fractured tooth is not only an eyesore, but it can cause pain when you chew. Fortunately, broken teeth can be restored with dental crowns. If you’ve recently broken a tooth, contact the team at Dreamtime Dentistry in Vista, California, to learn more about dental crown treatment.

About Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are special tooth caps or coverings that can be fitted over broken teeth to keep them from falling apart or sustaining further injury. The crown completely covers the tooth, all the way down to the gum line, to reinforce its structure. In the process, crowns conceal any damage your tooth sustained to restore its attractive appearance. We will take impressions of your tooth to have a crown custom-made to match its color, size, and shape. Once the crown is cemented in place, your tooth will be ready to use like normal.

Why Choose Crowns to Repair Broken Teeth?

Crowns offer a practical solution to mending broken teeth as they’re customizable, come in different materials, and help repair the damage so your teeth can continue to be used. Crowns come in different types, ranging from a gold tooth cap to: 

  • All-porcelain crown
  • Porcelain fused to metal crown
  • Zirconia crown

Porcelain makes an excellent choice for a front tooth crown as porcelain can be matched to the color and sheen of your natural teeth. Your crown will easily blend in with your surrounding teeth to give your smile a natural-looking appearance. With proper care, your porcelain crown can last up to 10 years or longer, restoring the look and function of your front tooth.

Dental crown treatment can salvage damaged teeth and restore their usefulness. Otherwise, a damaged tooth may have to be pulled, costing you time and money to have it replaced in the future.
