Dental Crown

When to Consider a Crown:

• Tooth Damage: If you have a tooth that is damaged or weakened but still has a healthy root, a crown can restore its function and appearance.
• After a Root Canal: Crowns are often placed on teeth after a root canal to protect the tooth and prevent further damage.
• Cosmetic Reasons: Crowns can improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.

Advantages:

• Less Invasive: Placing a crown is less invasive than an implant, as it doesn't involve surgery.
• Faster Procedure: The process typically requires fewer visits than an implant.
• Natural Look and Feel: Modern crowns are designed to match the appearance of your natural teeth.

Disadvantages:

• Limited Lifespan: Crowns may need to be replaced after 10-15 years due to wear or damage.
• Tooth Preparation: The tooth must be filed down to fit the crown, which can weaken it over time.

Dental Implant

When to Consider an Implant:

• Missing Tooth: If a tooth is missing or needs to be extracted, an implant is a permanent solution that replaces both the root and the crown.
• Long-Term Solution: Implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care, making them a good option for long-term tooth replacement.
• Bone Preservation: Implants help preserve the jawbone, which can deteriorate over time after tooth loss.
