Have you started to feel uncomfortable with a dental crown? This type of restoration provides important protection for a vulnerable tooth. Its placement is meant to provide long-term stability and support while remaining comfortable. When you no longer feel comfortable using the crown for bite support, or when you generally struggle with discomfort or the feeling that the restoration is loose, make sure you let your dentist know! Sunny Smiles can evaluate you and determine if you need to replace your older or damaged crown with a new restoration.
A Crown Is Used To Provide Permanent Protection For A Vulnerable Tooth
Dental crowns provide lasting protection for teeth that are affected by decay or damage. Care is taken to ensure that a restoration fits properly, looks like a natural fit for your smile, and offers important functional support. You should feel at ease returning to your natural bite function and trusting that the crown will support you; if you do not have this kind of confidence in your restoration, a replacement can be necessary.
Is It Time For You To Replace An Older Crown?
If you feel discomfort from your crown for any reason, or if you feel that it is not as secure as it once was, have it evaluated by your dentist. You may discover that it has either worn down or been hurt, something that will make it less supportive. Wear and tear through the years can gradually affect how secure your restoration is, and how helpful it is at protecting your tooth. You can also experience a physical injury to the crown, just as you can to a natural tooth.
