Dental Crowns
You may have heard about a dental crown procedure – sometimes called a dental cap procedure – but unless you’ve been told that you need one, you may not have been paying attention to this amazing restorative dental procedure to know how it can improve the quality of your smile. At KK Dental, we’ve performed countless dental crown procedures for patients just like you in our comfortable dentist office, and we’re happy to provide the following information to help you get more acquainted with how the procedure can help in your restorative dentistry, too!
Most Common Reasons for a Dental Crown Procedure
Although it will require a dental exam to determine the exact reason for your dental crown procedure, following are some of the more common reasons that the treatment is performed by general, family, and cosmetic dentists in:
- To add stability to a tooth that has become compromised due to injury or decay
- To rebuild a tooth that has become worn down
- To cover a tooth that has received a large filling and now requires additional stability
- To serve as an anchor for a dental bridge
- To create a natural-looking tooth surface after a dental implant procedure or other cosmetic modifications
