Crowns are a great way to restore the shape, appearance, strength and functionality of a damaged tooth. After placing the implants properly, you can chew food easily without the risk of any damage being caused to it. They protect the vulnerable part of the tooth by holding it together and preventing it from further damage.
Crowns will fit on the teeth in the same way like they fit over the top of a tooth and protect it. They are cemented in the desired place and once affixed, they act as new top for the tooth while holding it together and keeping it from breaking apart.
Crowns are made by using durable and resilient materials that can withstand traumas of chewing just as effectively as a natural tooth.. They act as a cover for the top portion of your tooth and after our dentist cements the crown to your damaged tooth, it becomes part of that tooth.
You should avoid chewing on hard foods that have the potentiality to damage the dental crown. If you have the habit of grinding or clenching your teeth, then dentists will advise patients to wear a mouth guard at night for added protection. The repeated grinding will wear down the crown over time and proper brushing and flossing may prevent the problem of gum disease and tooth decay for the affected tooth.
