Using Dental Crowns To Protect Injured Teeth

As strong as our teeth are, they are not impervious to damage. Cavities are a concern, but sometimes harm is the result of a physical injury. When you have problems with chipped, cracked, or otherwise damaged enamel, Sunny Smiles can help by offering restorative treatment. A custom dental crown can provide meaningful protection that lets you preserve your appearance and bite function. It can be a relief to know that long-term protection is available, and that your dental crown can preserve your smile as well as your health and function. When an injury causes serious discomfort and makes you vulnerable to tooth loss, we can bring you in for an emergency dental procedure. (more…)
