If a patient’s tooth needs its shape, size, strength, or appearance restored, Dr. Spelman and Dr. Orlando may recommend a dental crown in Hopewell, New Jersey. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped covering that may be placed over a tooth to do the following:
- Protect a weak tooth from breaking
- Hold a cracked tooth together
- Restore a broken tooth
- Restore a tooth that is worn down
- Cover and support a tooth with a large filling
- Anchor a dental bridge
- Cover irregularly shaped or badly discolored teeth
- Cover a dental implant
- Improve the appearance of a tooth
Dental crowns are sometime used on children as well. A dental crown may be placed on primary teeth to:
- Save a tooth that is too damaged too support a filling
- Protect a child’s teeth when they have a high risk of tooth decay
- Decrease the need to use general anesthesia on a child who is unable to cooperate fully during dental procedures
