Dental Crowns

There are many reasons why you might need crowns. A few examples are if your teeth have been damaged from everyday wear-and-tear, bad-habits, or if your teeth are filled with large, leaking fillings, this could be a sign that decay has started, a presence that could lead to a large loss of tooth structure. Dental crowns cover your teeth above the gumline, like a protective glove, so when you bite down on a dental crown, the biting pressure is evenly spread out across your tooth, protecting the tooth from breaking.

There are different type of crowns made today that include ceramic, resin, or porcelain. Porcelain is a material that reflects light just like natural tooth enamel. A full porcelain crown is the perfect choice for front teeth and teeth that show when you smile. Crowns are an excellent choice for back teeth where you need increased strength for chewing.

Each type of crown have their pros and cons. If you want to learn more about what treatment would better fit your specific situation, call our Wichita office today at (316) 265-0849 to schedule your appointment with Dr. John M. Lewis, located in Downtown Wichita, Ks at the Epic Center.
