Dental crown care is surprisingly simple because you afford them the same maintenance as your unrestored teeth.
- Brush at least twice daily.
- Floss at least once daily.
- Visit your dentist regularly for dental checkups.
- Visit our dental office regularly for teeth cleanings.
As with unrestored teeth, we strongly recommend:
- Not using your crowns to twist off caps or open packages
- Not biting directly into hard objects like ink pens
- Not chewing on ice chips
With proper care and healthy habits, your tooth crown can last up to a decade or far longer.
Reasons You May Need Dental Crowns in Camas, WA
Your dentist may recommend dental crowns or use them as part of your treatment for several reasons. First, a dental crown is a tooth-shaped cover that fits over a treated tooth or dental implant abutment.
Our dental office uses dental crowns to protect damaged or at-risk teeth, connect bridge teeth to natural teeth, or conceal cosmetic concerns, such as discoloration or chips.
Our dental crowns are color-matched to blend naturally with untreated and neighboring teeth. No one will guess which tooth is capped!
