At Jim Thorpe Dental Associates, our team works to keep your teeth and gums healthy. We also try to treat dental problems early on to prevent more serious issues from arising. We are very comprehensive but also do not over-treat our patients. There are some instances, though, where less conservative treatment is needed. For teeth that have deep cracks in them, have been badly chipped, need a root canal (due to infection or inflammation) or are in some way damaged, we will likely recommend you have a dental crown placed.
Dental crowns in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, enhance the appearance of the teeth they are placed over because they are designed to match the shape and color of your surrounding teeth. They are a very versatile dental restoration, though, and can be used for the following purposes: protecting a tooth after a root canal treatment, anchoring and attaching a dental bridge, completing a dental implant, improving a misshapen tooth, strengthening a fractured or weak tooth, and even supporting a large dental filling if insufficient tooth structure remains.
To find out whether dental crowns are right for you, please call us at 570-325-8300 and schedule a consultation with our dentist, Dr. Jayendra Patel, at your soonest convenience!
