Not just for its own sake, but because it can affect other parts around it as well. The longer you wait, the worse the problem may get. The same can be said for your teeth.

Your dentists at Long Family Dental are happy to answer your questions about getting dental crowns in Cleburne.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Why Would I Need a Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.longfamilydental.com\/restorative-dentistry.html\">dental crown<\/a> is a type of restoration that sits on top of, or \u201ccaps,\u201d your natural tooth in order to restore its shape and strength. They fully cover your tooth and are held in place with dental cement. The reasons you might need a dental crown are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To restore a broken or cracked tooth<\/li>\n<li>To cover a tooth that has a large filling<\/li>\n<li>To anchor a dental bridge<\/li>\n<li>To cosmetically improve a tooth<\/li>\n<li>To cover a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.longfamilydental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implant<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In essence, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/oral-health\/guide\/dental-crowns#1\">dental crowns are used in a variety of ways<\/a> to help bring your teeth back to full functionality. Broken teeth can make it very difficult to eat without damaging them further. Not only can this cause discomfort, but it can also affect how your bite comes together. Dental crowns are able to restore your teeth in both look and function so you can eat, talk, and smile with confidence.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the Procedure Like?<\/h2>\n<p>When you come in to get a dental crown, the first step in the process involves preparing your tooth. After you have received local anesthesia, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.longfamilydental.com\/dr-robert.html\">Drs. Robert or Chris Long <\/a>will gently prepare the tooth\u2019s enamel, making room for your crown among the rest of your teeth. An impression will then be taken and sent to a lab to make your crown. You will wear a temporary crown during this time. Your next visit involves your dentist placing the crown and making sure it fits properly before cementing it into place. After this, your tooth should function like it did before. Crowns can last up to 15 years with proper care, such as routine brushing and flossing, and recommended preventive care visits at our office.<\/p>\n<h2>Need to Know More?<\/h2>\n<p>If you have questions about getting a dental crown, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.longfamilydental.com\/cleburne-office.html\">please<\/a> call us.
