Adults Over 55 Get the Royal Treatment with Dental Crowns!

Are you approaching those golden years of life and would like to dispel the myth that everything is supposed to be decaying on you? If so, your local dentist would like to play his part in helping to defy the odds by discussing a highly effective way to restore your damaged crown. So if you’re one of the many adults over 55 who’d like to have a fully functional and beautiful smile, then stay tuned to learn about how valuable a crown restoration can be for you.

What is a Crown Restoration?

First and foremost, let’s talk about what a crown is. It’s the white part of your tooth that is visible above the gum line. The following situations warrant a restoration:

• Tooth decay
• A broken crown
• A root canal procedure that needs to be capped
• A dental implant procedure that needs to be covered

The new crown is made of a durable, dental-grade porcelain material that fits over your existing tooth. Attached properly, it will block the entry of any new bacteria, protecting the inner area of the tooth, and restoring its full function.

How Does the Crown Placement Work?

The crown placement procedure usually takes two visits to complete. Here are the steps:

• The first step is to complete any repair work that is necessary for the health of your existing tooth.
• He will then take an impression to be sent off to a dental lab so that your permanent crown can be fabricated. In the interim, you’ll be fitted with a temporary covering.
• Once the lab has crafted your fixture, you’ll return to your dentist’s office to have it placed.

You’ll be able to again fully use your repaired tooth and new crown.

What are Some Advantages of the Dental Crown Procedure?

In addition to regaining the function of your tooth, here are some other benefits of a dental crown restoration:

• It prevents the shifting of your other teeth by filling in the gap left by your ill-shaped natural crown.
• Porcelain crowns offer aesthetic benefits in addition to restoring the function of your tooth. The ivory-colored application will leave you with a natural look.

No longer are you relegated to relying on amalgam (metal) restorations to restore damaged dental crowns. And you don’t have to accept the false narrative that your teeth are supposed to be in a state of decay because of your age. Your dentist can get you back to normal with royal, crown treatment.
