There are many reasons why you might have gotten a dental crown, whether it was placed after a root canal, to repair a cracked tooth, or to protect a filling. Regardless of the reason, we want your crown to last as long as possible. Fortunately, caring for a crown is not complicated. It simply takes consistency and a few mindful habits. Read on to learn more.
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling but doesn’t need the full coverage of a crown, inlays and onlays offer an ideal in-between solution. These custom restorations repair decay, cracks, and worn enamel while preserving more of your natural tooth structure. At Kewaskum Family Dentistry in Kewaskum, WI, we often recommend inlays and onlays as a durable, conservative treatment option for restoring strength and function.
One of the most common treatments that we perform, other than a filling, is a dental crown. If we recommended a dental crown to you during your last visit, we recommend scheduling your appointment today. We know that it can be intimidating when we recommend a dental treatment, especially if you have never experienced the process before. However, delaying treatment can lead to serious complications with your oral health. Read on to learn more about getting a dental crown and the reasons we may recommend this treatment.
