when are dental crowns needed ?

                             

A crown is required to restore a tooth when a large portion of the tooth has been lost to decay, previous fillings or a fracture. A filling will fill a space in a tooth formed by decay or a small chip. A filling requires sufficient remaining tooth structure, not only to hold the filling in place but to allow the function of the tooth. The Texas City Dental in Texas City is conveniently located near La Marque, Galveston, and the Hitchcock area is conveniently located near the HEB and ROSS market complex. , and best Dental Crown  Expert  dentist near you.

what problems can develop with a dental crown

Dental crowns  are an important part of many people’s oral health care routine. While they are generally considered to be a safe and effective way to restore the function and appearance of a tooth, there are some potential problems that can develop with dental crowns.

The most common problem that can occur with dental crowns is that they can become loose over time. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including poor oral hygiene, grinding or clenching of the teeth, and trauma to the mouth. If a dental crown becomes loose, it is important to see a dentist as soon as possible so that the crown can be re-cemented or replaced.

Finally, dental crowns can also become stained over time. This can happen if you smoke or drink coffee or tea, or if you eat foods that can stain your teeth. If you notice that your dental crown is beginning to stain, it is important to see a dentist so that the crown can be cleaned or replaced.
