When you want a whiter smile, do you expect to receive dental crowns? Probably not. What you think is that you will tell us you’re interested in teeth whitening and we will either say that you’re a good candidate or that you need something else. If you were to require something else, then we might tell you that it’s going to be a different cosmetic treatment, you assume. However, when our response is “crowns,” you may feel confused. Let’s talk through the details and you’ll have a better understanding.
Is A Crown And Veneer The Same?
Nope. A dental crown is a prosthetic, or artificial tooth, that covers your entire tooth. It’s hollow and fits over it like a cap, which is why crowns are often called “caps.” A veneer is a partial casing that covers only the part of your tooth that another person sees when you smile. The remaining tooth tissue is exposed.
Why A Crown If My Tooth Is Okay?
Even though your tooth may be healthy, the cosmetic damage may not be something we can fix or camouflage with our cosmetic treatments. We can, however, cover and customize a tooth or teeth with crowns!
Will It Look Natural?
Yes! You will be pleased with the dental crown that you receive. Remember throughout the process of getting ready for a crown that they are made from material that has been created to look very similar to your own tooth tissue. The way light reflects off of your teeth, the translucency, and more will be so close to what a natural tooth looks like that it will seem like it’s one of your own. This is why we can use crowns for cosmetic concerns when necessary. It can completely improve your tooth’s beauty.
