7 Unexpected Wins That Come With Crowns For Your Teeth

When you get crowns for your teeth, there’s a lot more going on than just fixing your smile or capping off a root canal. With Dr. Jeff Childreth, you’re getting crowns that do a lot of heavy lifting behind the scenes. A quality crown can protect a weak tooth or beautify your smile, and Dr. Childreth’s crowns last a long time and are super durable. 

1. Keep Your Oral Health in Top Shape

There are many reasons people get crowns, and all of these are issues to address to ensure optimal oral health: 

• Cracked tooth
• Worn-down teeth
• Protection for a weak tooth after a root canal
• Tooth decay
• Cover a large filling

In addition to dealing with structural damage and protecting your natural tooth, Dr. Childreth can also use crowns for cosmetic dentistry. 

2. Customized Fit for Optimal Comfort

If you’ve ever had a crown that doesn’t fit just right, you know how aggravating it is. Crowns have to be a perfect fit, or they can hurt or just be uncomfortable all the time. Dr. Childreth takes advanced impressions, so you’ll have the perfect fit every single time. No need to go back to see him because it’s not just right. 

3. Quality Crowns Blend in Seamlessly with Your Teeth

Today’s dental crowns are designed to look just like real teeth. So no one has to know you got a crown. Dr. Childreth makes sure you get the exact shade so your crown is a perfect match for your smile. 

4. Long-Lasting Durability and Strength

In the distant past, the longevity of crowns was unreliable. Not so anymore. Now, crowns can last 10-15 years. Maybe even longer with meticulous care. It’s all in how you take care of them. Keeping your appointments with Dr. Childreth every six months is key to good oral care. 

They’re also made of porcelain, which is almost as durable as dental enamel. So it’s very unlikely you’ll break a crown. Just avoid chewing on hard objects or very hard foods. Also, if you eat things like taffy, you can eventually pull your crown off. 

5. Enjoy All Your Favorite Foods without Discomfort

If your tooth is damaged or weak, it can change how you decide what to have for dinner (and every other meal). Cold drinks can hurt. Hot coffee, and even sugar. Not to mention crunchy foods. With a crown topping off a weak tooth, you’re fully functional again. 

6. Efficient Treatment Process

You’ll visit Dr. Childreth’s office twice for your crown. 

1. First appointment: Dr. Childreth preps your tooth and takes impressions to send to the lab. 
2. He puts a temporary crown on your tooth. 
3. When your new crown is ready, you’ll head back to Dr. Childreth’s office to have it placed. 
4. He places your crown and cements it in place.
