Healthy teeth play an essential role in daily comfort and function, so when one is damaged, it can affect everything from eating to confidence in your smile. Restoring compromised teeth helps preserve overall oral health, and dental crowns provide a reliable solution for protecting and strengthening teeth. At Havana Street Dental, we use crowns to:
- Secure dental implants for long-term durability
- Prevent further damage to cracked or weakened teeth
- Reinforce teeth with old or deteriorating fillings
For patients seeking cosmetic improvements, dental crowns offer a natural-looking enhancement. When applied to stained or worn teeth, they restore brightness and symmetry, helping your smile look refreshed and polished.
Caring for Your Dental Crown
While crowns restore function and appearance, proper maintenance is essential to longevity. A well-cared-for crown can last eight years or more, but daily oral hygiene is key. Brushing and flossing around the crown prevents plaque buildup and keeps surrounding teeth healthy.
Certain habits can also affect crown durability, such as teeth grinding or clenching. Additionally, avoiding excessively hard foods like ice or brittle candies helps prevent potential damage. By practicing mindful oral care, you can ensure your crown remains strong and effective for years to come. Interested in learning more about how dental crowns can restore and protect your smile?
