When it comes to oral health, delaying treatment can make things worse. Here are the top 5 signs you need a porcelain veneer.
- Tooth Decay: If you have extensive tooth decay that cannot be adequately restored with a dental filling, a porcelain crown may be necessary. The crown can cover the decayed tooth structure and provide long-lasting protection against further decay.
- Fractured or Cracked Tooth: A porcelain crown can be used to restore a tooth that is fractured or cracked. The crown helps to hold the tooth together and prevent further damage or breakage.
- Large Filling or Restoration: When a tooth has a large filling or has undergone multiple restorations, it may become weakened over time. A porcelain crown can provide added strength and support to the tooth, reducing the risk of fracture or further damage.
- Root Canal Treatment: Following root canal therapy, a tooth may become weak and more susceptible to fracture. Placing a porcelain crown over the treated tooth helps protect it and restore its function.
- Tooth Replacement: Porcelain crowns are also used as part of dental implant restorations or to support dental bridges. They are placed over dental implants or adjacent teeth to replace missing teeth and restore proper chewing and aesthetics.
It is important to note that the decision to place a porcelain crown is typically made after a thorough examination, evaluation of your oral health, and consideration of your specific needs.
