Find out how these simple restorations could revive your smile.

Has our Vero Beach, FL, dentist, Dr. Raymond Della Porta, II recommended that you get a dental crown? You probably already know a little something about dental crowns, even if you’ve never gotten one before. They are one of the most commonly used dental restorations, after all, and there is a reason why.

Why do I need a dental crown?

There are many scenarios in which our Vero Beach general dentist will tell you that the best option is a dental crown. As you will come to find out, it’s a pretty versatile restoration. You may need to consider a crown if:

• You have a broken, fractured or cracked tooth
• You have a tooth that has become weaker because of decay
• You have an infected dental pulp and need root canal treatment
• A large dental filling has failed to properly support a damaged tooth
• You have a discolored, misshapen or aesthetically unpleasing tooth
• You need to support a fixed dental bridge
• You are getting a dental implant to replace one more missing teeth

Dental crowns can do everything from altering the shape and appearance of a tooth to protecting if from irreparable damage and restoring function and strength.

What types of crowns can I get in Vero Beach?

It’s true that dental crowns can be fashioned from different materials. As you can imagine, the most popular crowns are made from tooth-colored materials (e.g. porcelain) because the material can be matched to the shade of your teeth so that no one will be able to tell that you have a crown. Dental crowns can also be made from ceramic or porcelain-fused-to-metal.
