If you are unhappy with the appearance of an old dental crown, our professional smile makeover team in Boulder, Colorado can help you improve the look of your overall smile with a new, state-of-the-art ceramic crown.
The Lifespan of a Crown
Originally placed to strengthen a damaged tooth or as part of TMJ therapy to improve the bite, dental crowns performed correctly should help protect and preserve a tooth’s natural structure and function for up to 10 years. However, weak designs, cheap materials, or improper placement can cause crowns to deteriorate long before they should. Dental crowns that have begun to show signs of wear and tear are not only an eyesore, they may also pose a threat to your dental health.
You can tell when it is time for a crown replacement when a crown starts to look unnatural (when a dark line at the gums becomes noticeable) or when the tooth feels sore or sensitive upon biting. Once this protective armor has become compromised, it’s best to replace it as soon as possible to prevent permanent damage to your natural tooth structure. Replacing an ineffective crown will make a noticeable difference in the appearance of the tooth and allow you to bite and chew normally without worry.
Our Superior Ceramic Crowns
At my dental practice in Boulder, we pride ourselves on superior craftsmanship, excellent design, and personalized crown placement. Each dental crown is handcrafted in our lab with FDA-approved, metal-free ceramic materials. Choose from Empress® and IPS e.max® crowns to strengthen, protect, and beautify your smile.
If you have a dental crown that is loose, weak, or revealing a dark line at the gums, come in and talk to me about your crown replacement options. Please contact us today to set up your appointment.
