Seamless Smile Restoration With Dental Crown At Jonathan Hayes, D.D.S.

Tooth decay is a common dental issue, and while fillings are often the first line of defense, more extensive decay may require a dental crown. Dr. Jonathan Hayes's Sacramento office offers dental crown treatments to restore teeth with significant damage. A custom-sized crown, or cap, fits over the damaged tooth, providing strength and restoring its appearance. Crowns can be an effective solution for broken, damaged, or decaying teeth. If you're experiencing dental problems, call us at (916) 226-4885 to schedule a consultation and see if a crown is right for you.
Dental Crown
As noted by the American College of Prosthodontists, dental crowns are a very common dental restoration. Dentists use them in a variety of situations. For example, crowns can protect weakened teeth from further decay, repair damaged teeth, and cover large fillings. They're also frequently used to complete dental implants or cover teeth after a root canal. We create custom by collaborating with a dental lab and the patient to restore a tooth's shape and size.
How Dental Bridges Function with Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are often used to complete dental bridges, which, as WebMD explains, fill gaps left by missing teeth. A bridge can be created for a single missing tooth by anchoring a dental appliance to the two adjacent teeth (abutment teeth). To secure the bridge, these abutment teeth must be reshaped, which involves removing a significant amount of enamel. Dental crowns are then placed on the reshaped abutment teeth, which attach to the artificial tooth (pontic) that fills the gap.
When Do We Recommend Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are recommended for various reasons, both to prevent further damage and to maintain a healthy, attractive smile. Crowns can help avoid tooth loss, leading to more complex and costly dental issues. They also help maintain a proper bite and prevent teeth from shifting.
Dentists often recommend single-unit crowns to improve a tooth's long-term health and function. Here are some common reasons for suggesting a crown:
- Fractured or Cracked Teeth: These are the primary reasons dentists recommend crowns.
- Endodontic Therapy (Root Canal): Crowns are frequently recommended after a root canal, especially on back teeth. Studies show that most dentists recommend crowns in these cases.
- Broken or Large Fillings: If a tooth has a large or damaged filling, a crown may be necessary, depending on the size and condition of the existing restoration.
- Active Caries (Severe Decay): When decay is too extensive for a filling, a crown can protect the remaining tooth structure.
- Other Factors: Enamel deterioration, broken cusps, or aesthetic concerns can also be reasons for recommending a crown.
When recommending a crown, dentists consider the risks and benefits, the patient's preferences, the cost of treatment, and their own professional experience.
