Crowns
Whether or not you need crowns or veneers really depends on your situation. If your tooth is decayed and rotted, you may need a crown to cover the whittled down tooth and blend in to match your neighboring teeth. Crowns can also be used to cover teeth that have had root canals, or for cosmetic purposes to correct the appearance of teeth. Some people will need veneers instead for aesthetic purposes, as well. Veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells that match your tooth color and can last for a very long time. Dr. Denny will help you in determining what is best for you and your smile.
How long a crown lasts depends on the hygeine of the surrounding teeth. Crowns themselves will not decay, but without proper care of your teeth, decay can occur at the corners of the crown where it meets your tooth. With good hygeine, crowns can last for many years. Dr. Denny will help answer any of your questions and offer support and guidance to help keep your crowns healthy for years to come.
