If your tooth needs its shape, size, strength, or appearance restored, Dr. Clayton M. Hansen may recommend a dental crown in American Fork, Utah. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped covering that is cemented over your tooth, covering the entire visible portion of your tooth. Our dentist may recommend a dental crown to:
- Protect a weak tooth from breaking
- Hold a cracked tooth together
- Restore a broken or worn down tooth
- Cover and support a tooth with a large dental filling
- Anchor a dental bridge
- Cover irregularly shaped teeth
- Cover badly stained teeth
- Cover a dental implant
- Improve a tooth’s appearance
Our dentist may place a dental crown on primary (baby) teeth to:
- Save a tooth that is too badly damaged to support a dental filling
- Protect the teeth of a child that is at high risk for cavities
- Protect the teeth of a child who has trouble with oral hygiene
- Decrease the use of anesthesia on a child who is unable to cooperate during dental treatments
We invite you to contact our dental office today to learn more about dental crowns and to schedule a visit with our dentist.
