If You Have a Cracked Tooth, A Dental Crown Could Preserve, Protect, and Prolong The Life Of Your Tooth

A tooth crack can be a cause of pain and worry. You may stress about the potential loss of the tooth. Fortunately, dental crowns as offered by Dr. John Aurelia and the team at John L. Aurelia, D.D.S., PLLC in Rochester, Michigan, have emerged as unsung heroes in the dental world, offering a reliable and effective solution to save cracked teeth while restoring both function and look. 

Here are some reasons why a dental crown is an excellent choice for restoring a cracked tooth.

Protection and Stability

When a tooth develops a crack, it becomes vulnerable to further damage, decay, and infection. A dental crown acts as a protective shield, encapsulating the damaged tooth and preventing the crack from worsening. This not only safeguards the tooth’s structural integrity but also promotes oral health by reducing the risk of bacterial infiltration.

Reinforcement of Tooth Structure

Dental crowns are crafted from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, providing solid reinforcement to the compromised tooth. By encasing the tooth, the crown effectively holds together the fractured segments, preventing the crack from spreading and stabilizing the tooth for long-term use.

Restored Functionality

A cracked tooth can compromise tooth functionality, making chewing and biting painful or difficult. Dental crowns restore the tooth’s functionality by creating a smooth and even surface for efficient chewing. Patients can regain the ability to bite into their favorite foods without discomfort, enhancing oral function and quality of life.

Cosmetic Enhancement

Modern crown materials closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with the surrounding dentition. This aesthetic enhancement not only restores the patient’s smile but also boosts confidence and self-esteem.

Lasting Durability

When properly cared for with regular oral hygiene practices and dental check-ups, crowns can last for many years. This long-term stability ensures the cracked tooth remains protected and functional, providing patients lasting relief and peace of mind.

A Minimally Invasive Option

Unlike more extensive treatments, such as tooth extraction and replacement options like dental implants, crowns allow for the preservation of the natural tooth structure. This conservative approach is advantageous for maintaining the integrity of the patient’s smile.
