A chipped, cracked, or broken tooth can’t be left in disrepair for long as it’s prone to decay or infection. Damaged teeth can also cause painful chewing, making them relatively unusable. That’s where a dental crown can come in. Crowns are the go-to treatment for repairing compromised teeth so you can use them again. At the Family Dental Center of Manteca, we offer affordable dental crowns to our Manteca, California patients.
Teeth aren’t indestructible. If you play sports or engage regularly in outdoor activities, you’re at greater risk of accidental tooth damage. Dental bonding can help repair minor chips or cracks in your teeth. Significant damage, however, may require a dental crown to fix.
Crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover cracked or broken teeth to support their weakened structure. They’re commonly used for weak, worn, damaged, or decayed teeth that can’t be treated with a standard filling. Crowning a compromised tooth safeguards it from future damage or decay. It also repairs and fortifies your tooth for future use.
Crowns can save severely decayed or damaged teeth from extraction by:
Dental crowns can be made of various materials, such as gold, composite resin, ceramic, porcelain, and porcelain fused to metal. Of these, our patients often favor porcelain crowns due to their strength, longevity, and natural tooth-colored appearance.
A porcelain crown for a cracked tooth will fortify its weakened structure to give your tooth years of continued use. With adequate care, porcelain crowns can last 15 or more years, making them a long-term solution to repairing damaged teeth.
Lack of dental insurance isn’t a deterrent to getting crown treatment. You can get the quality dental care services you need by taking advantage of our in-house dental plans or CareCredit payment option. To schedule a consultation for dental crown treatment, contact Dr. Mircea Mitu from Family Dental Center of Manteca in Manteca, CA, at (209) 420-1205.
