Damaged Teeth? Reconstruct Your Smile with Porcelain Crowns

It only takes one chipped, fractured, or broken tooth to ruin your smile. Damaged teeth are not only unsightly, but they can also cause painful chewing. Many problems with damaged teeth can be resolved through restorative dentistry. We repair damaged teeth with porcelain tooth crown treatment at Westlake Family Dentistry in Lake Oswego, Oregon. Dr. Brad Sievert can reconstruct your smile to restore its usefulness and esthetics. Damaged teeth can look and function like new with dental crown treatment. 

About Dental Crowns 

Your teeth aren’t indestructible. They’re susceptible to chipping, cracking, or breaking from dental trauma or decay. When damage occurs, your tooth’s structure is compromised. Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover compromised teeth to protect them from further damage. Crowning a weak, decayed, or damaged tooth makes it functional again. 

In addition to protecting your tooth, a porcelain dental crown will restore its shape and appearance. A crown will cover your tooth from top to bottom, concealing the damage. Your tooth will have a new structure that’s totally unblemished. Dr. Brad Sievert will customize your crown to match the color, size, and shape of surrounding natural teeth to conform to your smile. A porcelain crown will so closely resemble your natural teeth that no one can tell you’ve had restorative treatment.

How Crowns are Used

 Crowns can be used for both cosmetic and restorative reasons. Dr. Sievert may recommend a dental crown to: 

• Support teeth with large fillings
• Repair chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
• Fortify weak teeth to keep them from breaking
• Protect a fragile tooth after a root canal 
• Serve as a replacement tooth for implant treatment
• Anchor a dental bridge 
• Cover a stained, misshapen, or irregularly sized tooth to improve its appearance

Porcelain crowns are durable, stain-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing, making them an excellent choice for repairing damaged teeth. With proper care, porcelain crowns can last as long as 15 years!
