Dental crowns and veneers have some similar purposes in that they are both useful for taking imperfect looking teeth and making them more visually pleasing. Crowns are also used frequently for strengthening weak teeth or covering cracked or otherwise damaged teeth so that bacteria may not make its way inside and lead to an infection. Whatever your reason for wanting to restore your teeth, we have the solution for you here at Modestow Family Dentistry.
Crowns are versatile. Sometimes referred to as caps, in addition to their role in restoring or aesthetically enhancing teeth, they are also used as part of full-tooth restorations. A crown is an essential component of both bridges and dental implants. At our
Northampton dentist office, you can get a crown fitted in just two visits. First, impressions are taken so that the dental lab can make a precision product. If your tooth is exposed, such as one that has undergone root canal or is fractured, you will be fitted with a temporary crown until you return to have the custom-made one placed over the top of the tooth at our Northampton dental office. With tooth-colored material, your crown will blend in near seamlessly with the tooth it's applied to, as well as the surrounding teeth. Veneers go in front of a tooth, not on top of it. They are used almost exclusively for cosmetic reasons, and nearly always for multiple (or all) of your teeth. They are also fashioned from tooth-colored material, with the goal being that no one can tell that you have them after they have been bonded.
Reach out to our
Northampton dental office and schedule a visit to come in for a consultation and examination. Discuss your goals, whether they're restorative, cosmetic, or both, and together with our dentist, determine whether crowns or veneers, or a combination of them, is best suited to your needs.
