Can a Dental Crown at City Park Dental Improve a Cracked or Worn Tooth?

Cracked or worn teeth are common. Almost everyone deals with them eventually. Sometimes it’s just age. Sometimes you grind your teeth at night, or maybe you have an accident that hurts your mouth. Whatever the cause, damaged teeth can hurt and make you self-conscious about your smile. But you’re not stuck with it. Dental crowns are a tried-and-true fix. They bring back the look and strength of your tooth, so you can chew, smile, and feel good about it. Let’s talk about how a dental crown from City Park Dental can get your smile back on track.

What is a dental crown? 

A dental crown is a sturdy cover for your tooth. Dentists use it to cover a cracked, worn-down, or weakened tooth. It protects what’s left and restores your tooth’s shape and strength. Crowns are usually made from porcelain, metal, or sometimes both. Here at City Park Dental, we use top-quality materials so the dental crown blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. Most people can’t even tell it’s there.

Here’s how a crown helps if your tooth is cracked or worn:

• Stops things from getting worse. A cracked tooth can split more if you leave it alone. Place a crown on it, and you keep the crack from spreading.
• Makes chewing easy again. When your tooth’s damaged, eating can be a pain. A crown gives you back a working tooth, so you can bite and chew without thinking twice.
• Keeps your smile looking good. Our crowns are made to match your other teeth, so your smile stays natural.
• Stands the test of time. The right crown care can make it last for years. It’s not a quick fix—it’s a long-term solution.

The Procedure for Getting a Dental Crown

• First, we check out your tooth and lay out your treatment options. If a crown’s the way to go, we get started.
• Next, we prep the tooth. That means cleaning out any decay and shaping it for the crown.
• Then, we take a mold of your tooth so your crown fits just right.
• Finally, once your custom crown’s ready, we fit it over your tooth and double-check that it feels comfortable and matches your other teeth.

How long do crowns last? 

With good brushing, flossing, and regular checkups, your crown can last 10 to 15 years—sometimes even longer. Skip the ice-chewing and teeth-grinding, and you’ll get the most out of it.
