7 Reasons to Consider Dental Crown Treatment
When situations arise that put your smile at risk, it’s important to remedy them quickly. Dental crown treatment can often restore teeth compromised by decay, wear and tear, or accidental injury. Crowns help strengthen, protect, and restore compromised teeth to salvage their usefulness for the future.
Dr. Mitul Patel from Vital Dental is your go-to dentist for crown treatment in Sarasota, Florida. We can walk you through the teeth crown procedure and help you decide if it’s right for you. Here are seven reasons to consider crown treatment for your teeth. Â
1. Restore Damaged TeethÂ
Tooth damage can occur to anyone at any time. A blow to the mouth on the sports field or tumble down the stairs at home can result in one or more broken teeth. Once your tooth has sustained structural damage, it’s prone to decay, infection, and further breakage. Through crown treatment, Dr. Patel can reinforce and protect damaged teeth, making them useful again.
2. Support Large FillingsÂ
Dr. Patel may recommend crowning teeth with large fillings or teeth that have received multiple cavity treatments to prevent fracturing. Decay weakens your tooth structure, making it prone to cracking or crumbling. A crown will completely cover your tooth to keep it intact. Crowns add an extra layer of protection around decayed teeth to keep them safe from cavities in the future.
3. Protect Weak or Fragile Teeth
Even with good oral care, your teeth can become weak or fragile with age and constant use. Crowns can protect fragile teeth to prevent tooth damage from occurring. In this case, an ounce of prevention could save you a pound of cure in the future.
4. Fortify Root Canal Teeth
Root canals help restore teeth with severe oral infections by removing the diseased pulp. However, if your tooth is weakened afterward, it is prone to fracturing. By crowning your tooth, Dr. Patel can fortify its structure for the future.
5. Support a Dental Bridge
Crowns play a key role in traditional dental bridge treatment to replace lost teeth. Crowns are placed on healthy teeth next to the gap left by missing teeth to support your bridge.

6. Improve Your Smile’s EstheticsÂ
Crowns can improve the shape, color, or structure of stained, misshapen, and odd-sized teeth to enhance your smile’s esthetics. Porcelain crowns are not only functional but also closely resemble natural teeth in color and translucency. By crowning irregular teeth, Dr. Patel can improve your smile’s balance and symmetry.
7. Replace Missing TeethÂ
Dental crowns can be paired with single dental implants to restore missing teeth. Once the osseointegration process is complete, Dr. Patel will attach the crown to the implant. A crown will restore your smile’s function and beauty well into the future.
