Are Dental Crowns Worth It? 5 Benefits You Can Expect

Sometimes a filling isn’t enough to repair damage. In such cases, dental crowns in Alpharetta, Georgia, offer a reliable solution to repair and restore your tooth to full function and health. At Atlanta Center for Dental Health, our dentists combine expertise and advanced technology to create dental crowns that look and feel natural. Whether you want one or more dental crowns, you can rely on our dentists for high-quality restorations.

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped appliances that are placed over severely damaged, worn-down, or weakened teeth. Think of dental crowns as custom-sized suits for your tooth, offering several functional and esthetic benefits.

Crowns to Straighten Teeth and Correct Bite

These include:

1. Restore functionality: It can be difficult to chew efficiently with a damaged tooth. For many people, chewing becomes painful, and they become limited to a diet of soft, easy-to-chew foods. Dental crowns restore your tooth’s strength, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without restrictions. Bite into an apple and enjoy that juicy steak or meat burger without pain or sensitivity.
2. Save a natural tooth: Dental crowns help restore a severely damaged or weakened tooth. A crown provides full tooth coverage. This reinforces your tooth’s structure and protects it from further decay or fracture. A dental crown helps save your natural tooth, even when extraction seems like the only option.
3. Restore aesthetics: Our dental crowns are crafted from beautiful materials, such as porcelain. These premium materials are designed to mimic the shape, size, and color of your teeth, giving you a beautiful, natural-looking smile. Your dental crown improves your smile, especially when used to repair damage or enhance the aesthetics of a tooth visible when smiling.
4. Improves your tooth’s reliability: A dental crown acts like a protective cap over your tooth, reinforcing its structure and holding it together. This makes cracked, heavily filled, or weakened teeth more reliable and less prone to unexpected breakdowns. A dental crown adds strength and stability, allowing your tooth to function reliably for many years.
5. Long-term satisfaction: Dental crowns are not a short-term fix. They are created from high-strength materials that can withstand everyday use. With proper care, our dental crowns can last 10-15 years. The secret to long-lasting crowns is good maintenance and regular dental check-ups.

Our services are reasonably priced, but we understand dental crowns can be a significant financial commitment. We strive to make your treatment affordable with dental insurance. We also offer financing, allowing you to spread the cost of treatment over time. The objective is to help you achieve a healthy smile without breaking the bank.
