Broken, decaying, or missing teeth can all have a detrimental affect on your oral health. Chips or cracks in your enamel can harbor disease- and decay-causing bacteria that may further damage your teeth and gums or even lead to tooth loss. Missing teeth, on the other hand, can cause your entire bite to shift out of place, which may cause problems with your temporomandibular joint. Dental crowns can improve your oral health by:
- Strengthening your bite and your teeth
- Maintaining your facial and jawbone structure
- Making it easier to clean your teeth
- Improving your chewing form and function, eliminating unnecessary wear and tear
- Replacing decayed material
