That&#8217;s why your dental team at Dr. George Salem and Associates in Braintree, MA, offer crowns as a way of repairing teeth that need to be restored to their function and appearance. Here, you&#8217;ll learn about how crowns work to replace damaged natural teeth while keeping the roots intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are crowns?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A crown, sometimes called a cap, is a dental restoration used frequently to repair and protect a tooth that still has functional roots, but has sustained too much outer damage to function on its own. Crowns are tooth-shaped but hollow in the middle in order to fit over the top of a natural tooth that has been prepared by your Braintree dentist. Crowns are typically made of a porcelain material that is both strong and attractive; dental laboratories use the measurements sent to them by your Braintree dentist to shape, polish, and paint a lifelike tooth replacement that will be attached using a bonding cement, allowing you to eat and smile normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why are crowns used?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several instances in which your Braintree dentist utilizes a crown. They are the finishing touch after a root canal is completed; this is usually due to extensive decay removal that leaves the affected tooth unusable otherwise. Crowns can also be used instead of traditional filling material if a cavity is larger than average. When an entire natural tooth is missing, a restoration called a bridge fills in the gap with a solid crown that is placed between two normal crowns; the teeth on either side of the gap are crowned to reinforce them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If one or more of your teeth might need a crown, contact Dr. George Salem and Associates in Braintree, MA, to schedule a consultation. So many of our patients have benefited from this versatile restoration; you might be one of them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teeth are one of the few structures inside the body that cannot regenerate after sustaining damage.
