The biggest challenge of having a dark front tooth is to make it match with the adjacent teeth. Teeth whitening will not necessarily remove all stains on your teeth. A tooth crown can be an excellent solution to repair your damaged smile. A dental crown can completely cover the dark tooth and achieve a precise color match with the adjacent teeth. A tooth crown in Mississauga can help in providing the perfect smile that you seek.
What is a tooth crown?
A dental crown is a cap that is designed to restore and protect your tooth. It is designed to restore the natural anatomy of your tooth, including its shape, size, and color. With a dental crown, you can eat, chew, brush, and floss regularly. A dental crown can make your tooth stronger while improving its cosmetic appearance.
Why do you need a tooth crown?
Besides covering stained teeth, dental crowns can be used to correct other dental problems as well. For instance, a dental crown can be used to cover a tooth that has become weak due to decay or breakage. Crowns can also be used to hold together parts of a cracked tooth. Other applications include restoring unusually worn out teeth and supporting a dental bridge.
How are tooth crowns placed?
For a tooth crown in Mississauga, you will need at least two appointments to the dentist’s office. During the first visit, the dentist will prepare your tooth by removing the damaged tissue and a part of the tooth enamel. The dentist will then capture impressions of your tooth, which are sent to the lab to make your tooth crown. Meanwhile, the dentist will place a temporary crown on your tooth to protect it from further damage. During the second appointment, the dentist will replace the temporary crown with your custom-made tooth crown.
