A tooth can weaken from decay, cracks, wear, or an old filling. Heart of the City Dental offers porcelain crowns near Lakeville, MN, for patients who need to restore and protect a damaged tooth. A crown covers the visible part of the tooth and helps it function as it should. Porcelain can also create a natural look that blends with your smile. Our team will explain what we find and help you understand your options.
We may recommend a crown when a tooth needs more support than a filling can provide. It covers the weakened area and helps protect the remaining tooth structure.
A porcelain crown may help:
Strengthen a tooth damaged by decay
Protect a cracked or weakened tooth
Restore a tooth with a large filling
Improve the shape of a damaged tooth
Support comfortable biting and chewing
Restore the appearance of a worn tooth
We begin by checking the tooth and your bite. The amount of healthy tooth structure can help determine whether a crown is the right choice.
You will also have time to talk through the treatment. We explain why a crown may help before you decide how to move forward.
