Crowns
Dental Crowns at Fort Meigs Dental
When a tooth is weakened, cracked, or heavily filled, it can start to feel unreliable. Sensitive when you bite. Sharp pain out of nowhere. A quiet worry every time you chew.
A dental crown protects that tooth and gives it strength again.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a tooth or dental implant. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance while protecting it from further damage.
Crowns are commonly used to:
Restore broken or severely worn teeth
Support teeth with large fillings
Cover dental implants
Hold a dental bridge in place
Improve the look of misshapen or discolored teeth
Protect weak or cracked teeth
Once placed, a crown functions just like a natural tooth.
What Happens If a Tooth Is Left Untreated?
A damaged tooth rarely stays the same. Over time, problems tend to grow.
Without treatment, you may experience:
Increasing pain and sensitivity
Cracks that lead to more extensive damage
Infection inside the tooth
Risk of tooth loss
More complex and costly treatment later
Addressing the problem early helps protect your tooth and your overall health.
