How crowns from your dentists in Ringwood, NJ, can improve your smile

Dental crowns can help you in many ways. They can repair damaged and broken teeth, giving you a strong smile so you can enjoy the foods you love. What you may not know is dental crowns can also enhance how your smile looks. Drs. David Kahn and John Pergolizzi in Ringwood, NJ, offer crowns that will improve your smile.

There are many everyday habits that can damage your teeth. Chewing hard objects like ice cubes or pencils can damage your teeth over time. If you grind your teeth at night, you can wear your teeth down. Aging also takes a toll on your teeth. Tooth decay is often the cause of needing a crown.

No matter what has damaged your teeth, dental crowns can repair and restore your smile. When a crown is placed on a tooth, it covers the entire surface of the tooth above the gumline. This overall protection protects the tooth when you chew, keeping it from breaking. Dental fillings don’t provide that level of protection. In fact, large dental fillings can actually weaken your teeth by dividing them into sections. When you bite down on a large filling, you run the risk of breaking off a section of vital tooth structure. Dental crowns provide the protection you need to keep your smile whole.

Dental crowns don’t just make your smile stronger. They make your smile more beautiful too. One of the dental crown materials frequently used is porcelain, which is light-reflective, and it looks just like tooth enamel. Full porcelain crowns are dazzling and beautiful, and they enhance your smile. Porcelain crowns stay beautiful too, because they don’t pick up stains like tooth enamel.

Porcelain is the most cosmetically beautiful crown material, but you can also choose a porcelain-fused-to-metal crown which is stronger because of the metal underlay. The metal prevents the crown from reflecting light, so it’s not as natural looking as full porcelain. Full gold is another option. Full gold crowns are strong, but not as cosmetically pleasing, so they are a great choice for back teeth.

If you want a strong, beautiful smile, dental crowns are the right choice to make. For more information about dental crowns, call your dentists, Drs. David Kahn and John Pergolizzi, in Ringwood, NJ. Get started on a stronger, more beautiful smile by calling your dentist today!
