Crowns

Myths and Facts on

Myth:

Crowns are Only for Cosmetic Purposes

Fact:

Porcelain crowns not only enhance your smile but also protect badly decayed or fractured teeth, ensuring both aesthetics and functionality.

Myth:

Crowns Are Noticeable and Uncomfortable

Fact:

Porcelain crowns are custom-made to match your teeth perfectly, offering durability, strength, and a seamless fit, making them virtually undetectable and comfortable.

Myth:

Crowns Cause Decay Underneath

Fact:

Skilled placement and laboratory construction ensure minimal gaps, reducing the risk of decay underneath. They're preventive, stopping decay before it leads to tooth loss.

Myth:

Crowns Require Frequent Replacement

Fact:

While crowns may need occasional replacement due to wear, they're highly durable and long-lasting when properly cared for, minimizing the need for frequent replacements.

Myth:

Crowns Always Lead to Root Canal Therapy

Fact:

Root canal therapy post-crown placement is rare and indicates pre-existing tooth issues. Crowns actually prevent further decay and the need for extensive procedures.

Myth:

Crowns Have No Alternatives

Fact:

Bridges and implants are viable alternatives for severely damaged or missing teeth. Consultation with a dentist helps determine the best option for your dental health needs.
