How A Crown Protects A Broken Tooth

Dental problems are effectively prevented through a combination of in-office care and regular oral hygiene efforts. At our Dallas, TX dental office, we are ready to provide the kind of ongoing support that will make it easier for people to prevent difficulties that require more involved services. Unfortunately, unexpected problems with physical injuries can lead to enamel being chipped, cracked, or broken in some other way, which can mean you need to seek restorative dental work, possibly even on short notice. We can welcome you when you have a broken tooth that requires attention; in fact, we can even provide the support you need with a dental crown made to imitate your healthy enamel!

Can Your Broken Tooth Be Saved?

It is often possible to save a broken tooth. Before determining what approach we should take to restoring your oral health and smile, we will evaluate yours closely to see what kind of support you need in order to keep your vulnerable tooth safe. When we can use a dental crown, we can make sure that your smile remains complete, and we can address any negative impact on your bite function that would have resulted from the injury. We should note that in some cases, superficial damages can be addressed through more conservative cosmetic dental services.

Arranging Treatment With A Durable Dental Crown

A custom, lifelike dental crown can be produced to provide the protection needed for your vulnerable tooth. With this restoration, we can provide treatment by completely surrounding the structure above the gum line. When doing so, we can ensure that you have the protection needed to let you bite and chew the way you did before, and to make sure no new injuries can occur. Care is taken before any restorative treatment to closely measure a tooth and confirm that your appliance will be the right shape and size to look natural without affecting neighboring teeth.

Implant Dentistry Can Provide A Permanent Replacement For A Tooth That Cannot Be Saved

In the event that your tooth is so badly damaged that it cannot be saved, you do not have to worry over what will happen to your smile. Implant dentistry allows us to hold a replacement tooth in place permanently. This supports your bite function and neighboring teeth as well as your prosthetic, and it can even help sustain your jaw health!
