A dental crown can help if you experience tooth pain or if you’ve suffered a tooth injury. This versatile, useful dental solution can replace broken teeth and prevent tooth loss.

Dr. Arden Bronstein is an expert in smile restoration and pain management with over three decades of experience in Hyattsville, Maryland. Dr. Bronstein and our highly-skilled team replace or repair damaged or missing teeth using efficient and innovative techniques.

We achieve all this and more by using dental crowns of all types, including ceramic, porcelain, and precious metals. These dental devices are beneficial for a variety of reasons.

What is a dental crown?

For broken teeth, crooked teeth, or to whiten your teeth, Dr. Bronstein may use a dental crown. A crown is a cap placed on top of a repaired tooth. Unlike dentures, a crown is a fixed prosthetic device that you don’t have to remove.

We use dental crowns:

• To cover a discolored or misshapen tooth
• To protect a tooth following a root canal or the replacement of a large filling
• To attach a bridge
• To save a weak tooth

We firmly cement the crown in place to reinforce or replace the tooth beneath. Crowns are strong and long-lasting. They look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth.

Roles of dental crowns

Dental crowns can be used for a number of purposes. They can be used if you have teeth that are:

• Missing
• Discolored
• Decaying
• Chipped
• Cracked
• Broken
• Crooked
• Gapped
• Misshapen
• Too small

A dental crown can offer a range of benefits such as improving a smile, alleviating pain, and preserving oral health.

Easing pain and discomfort

Teeth can deteriorate due to age, normal wear and tear, and injury. You may experience pain and discomfort if you have a tooth that is very worn down. If you grind your teeth, they may become damaged, causing discomfort. Dental crowns protect teeth that require extra support, eliminating pain.

Enhancing appearance

Consider getting a dental crown if you frequently avoid the camera or cover your smile during selfies. A crown is ideal for concealing flaws like malformed or undersized teeth. They can also cover dull or stained teeth that make you self-conscious.

Protecting and saving

Our primary goal is to ensure you keep your natural teeth.  A dental crown is a fantastic way to save and safeguard a tooth that isn’t irreparably broken. However, if a tooth is damaged beyond repair, Dr. Bronstein can extract the damaged tooth to preserve your oral health.

A crown can stop a tooth from decaying and hold a fractured or broken tooth together. There are several reasons to think about getting a dental crown. Consider a dental crown if you want to improve your dental health or for cosmetic reasons.

Dental crowns feel and appear identical to your natural teeth and don’t need special maintenance. That’s why they are the ideal solution for safeguarding teeth and relieving pain
