64 Morris Street, Jersey City, NJ, 07302They’re one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry options available, yet a lot of people still aren’t completely aware of what a dental crown entails – or if they’re worth all the hype.
To help you understand this procedure a bit better, our team here at East Coast Family Dental in Jersey City, New Jersey, put this piece together to present the information in a way that’ll show you the value of dental crowns.
What are they?
Crowns are exactly what they sound like – crowns for your teeth. They’re used when a tooth is damaged to the point that bonding can’t really solve the issue, or other restorative options aren’t viable. The tooth is ground down to form an abutment, then a crown is cemented into place. It matches the size, shape, and color of your real teeth, and it functions like a real tooth as well.
How long do they last?
A common question brought up regarding any cosmetic dentistry procedure is how long it’ll be effective. With crowns, they’re effective for as long as you’re willing to take care of them. Brushing, flossing, and keeping your oral health in tip-top shape is imperative to making sure your crown lasts.
If you have any type of tooth damage that you think could benefit from a crown, you’ll likely be able to see that they’re worth it. If you have more questions or want to schedule a consultation, call us today at 201-332-4699.
