The Benefits of Crowns

When you have damaged teeth, you may need to consider dental crowns in Phoenix, AZ. Dr. John Graneto and the staff at Kidz Connextion Dental & Braces and help repair your teeth in a warm and professional environment.

What Are Crowns?

Dental crowns are manufactured dental restorations that cover or cap an entire tooth surface. This restoration is typically made of metal, ceramic, or all-porcelain.

What are the Benefits of Crowns?

Crowns can be used for a variety of reasons including:

-Restoring decayed teeth

-Preventing the splitting and cracking of teeth

-Protecting cracked or weakened teeth

-Enhancing misshapen, discolored, or short teeth

When you come to Kidz Connextion Dental & Braces in Phoenix, AZ, we match the crowns to blend in naturally with your surrounding teeth. By getting a crown, you will prevent further tooth decay and protect the remaining healthy part of the tooth. A crown increases the lifespan of the remaining natural teeth and improves their appearance.

How Do I Care For My Crowns?

After we place the dental crown, there are some oral care techniques you can implement to maintain optimal health. Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, and floss before bedtime. It is also best to avoid eating sticky or hard foods such as caramel, nuts, and pretzels because they may become stuck.

Next, it is important to eat a well-balanced diet that includes large quantities of fresh vegetables and fruit. Strive for six to seven servings of fruits and vegetables per day. A good diet plan will provide you with the minerals and vitamins needed to support your teeth and prevent future cavities.

Caring for crowns is critical to maintaining optimal oral health. Even if you brush and floss daily, it is important to visit your dentist in Phoenix, AZ at least once a year to ensure the crowns remain protected and intact.
