Dental Crowns: When Do You Need One?

Dental crowns are a versatile treatment used to restore the strength, function, and appearance of damaged teeth. But when is a dental crown necessary, and how can it improve your oral health?

You may need a dental crown if you have a tooth that is weakened by decay, cracked, or broken. Crowns act as a protective cap, covering the tooth and restoring its structure. Crowns are also used to protect a tooth after a root canal, ensuring the tooth remains strong and functional.

Crowns are not just functional—they are also cosmetic. If you have a tooth that is discolored or misshapen, a crown can improve its appearance and help you feel more confident in your smile. Made from durable materials like porcelain or ceramic, dental crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

At Estrada Dentistry, Dr. Estrada customizes each crown to ensure a perfect fit and a natural look. If you're experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or damage, don’t wait for the problem to worsen. Schedule a consultation to find out if a dental crown is the right solution for you.
