Dental crowns: restore your teeth in Barcelona

Indications for dental crowns

A dental crown may be needed in the following situations:

• To strengthen and protect a cracked or severely worn down tooth
• To improve the resistance of an endodontically treated tooth
• To improve the appearance of a tooth (discoloration, unusual shape, etc)

In addition, you may be a candidate for a crown if you’re missing a tooth, and the dentist needs to put in a dental bridge or a tooth implant.

When you visit your English-speaking dentist in Barcelona for restoration, your dentist will explain this dental service and all that it entails.

Benefits of dental crowns for your teeth

Dental crowns provide an adequate solution to a range of dental problems.

• Durability: Crowns last the longest of most dental restorations, with a life of fifteen years or more.
• Aesthetics: Crowns can be made to restore the original shape of your tooth. The color can also be matched to the color of the adjacent teeth, restoring or improving upon your original smile.
• Protection: A dental crown is possibly the best protection that your dentist can give to a threatened tooth.
• Accessible price : Dental crowns are cheaper than implants!

However, there are also some disadvantages of dental crowns, such as the need to file the tooth into the right shape before the crown can be fitted. This action is often irreversible.
