An old, cracked, or damaged dental crown requires prompt professional attention to protect the vulnerable tooth structure underneath. At Gordon Dental Associates, Dr. Jeremy Gordon and our team are here to evaluate the condition of your crown, relieve any discomfort, and restore your bite quickly and effectively.
Why Timely Treatment Is Essential
Ignoring a broken or compromised crown can lead to worsening oral health issues. Prompt action helps prevent:
- Underlying Tooth Decay: Cracks or loose seals allow food debris and bacteria to seep under the crown, causing decay in the natural tooth structure beneath.
- Sensitivity and Pain: Exposed tooth dentin or nerves can trigger sharp pain, especially when eating or drinking hot, cold, or sweet foods.
- Further Tooth Damage: A compromised crown no longer offers structural protection, leaving the remaining natural tooth susceptible to fractures or complete loss.
How We Restore Your Smile
In most cases, a worn or broken crown will need to be replaced to fully restore strength, function, and aesthetic appeal. Dr. Jeremy Gordon and our team will carefully examine the underlying tooth and take digital images to determine the best course of action. If a replacement is needed, we custom-craft high-quality, tooth-colored crowns that fit comfortably, blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, and restore your ability to chew with complete confidence.
