Dental Crowns Strengthen Damaged Teeth

Dental Crowns Strengthen Damaged Teeth

Dental crowns from your dentist in Fort Lauderdale, FL, can improve your smile.

Breaking or damaging teeth is easier than you think. A small crack is enough to weaken your tooth, making it more susceptible to breaking. Lifestyle habits like chewing ice cubes can cause damage too. Over time, your teeth can wear down, making them more susceptible to damage. The good news is, dental crowns from Dr. David Erdman can strengthen your damaged teeth, and restore your smile.

Your dentist in Fort Lauderdale, FL, offers a wide range of preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry services, including dental crowns to improve your smile.

Dental crowns help your teeth in many ways. Consider that dental crowns:

  • Strengthen your teeth, because they provide overall coverage of all tooth surfaces. When you bite down on a crown, your tooth is protected from breaking.
  • Enhance the appearance of your teeth, because you can choose full porcelain crowns, which look just like natural teeth. Full porcelain crowns give you a naturally beautiful smile.
  • Restore your chewing function, because dental crowns increase the surface area available for chewing. When you chew better, you digest your food better which can help your overall health.

Full porcelain crowns are an excellent choice for front teeth that show when you smile. Porcelain is also light-reflective, just like natural tooth enamel. When you flash a smile of porcelain crowns, your smile is truly brilliant.

For back teeth, it’s a good idea to have more strength because back teeth perform the bulk of your chewing. That’s why porcelain is often fused to a strong metal underlay, giving you a porcelain-fused-to-metal, or PFM crown. These crowns provide strength for chewing and still provide beauty to your smile.

Give your smile the strength and beauty it needs by choosing dental crowns. Dr. Erdman can discuss crown options with you. To learn more about the benefits of dental crowns and how they can strengthen your smile, call your dentist in Fort Lauderdale, FL, at (954) 564-1605 today!
