Whether from trauma, decay, or another issue, your tooth needs to be treated right away. If the break doesn\u2019t appear significant or you aren\u2019t in any pain, you might be tempted to wait to have your tooth treated. Although no one has time in their day for an unplanned trip to the dentist, delaying the care you need may cost you your tooth. Instead, it\u2019s best to see your dentist right away for a dental crown in Virginia Beach.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A dental crown is a custom-made cap bonded over the entire\nsurface of a tooth that\u2019s visible above the gum line. This makes them very\nversatile to prevent and treat several issues, like a broken tooth. Although\nthey are the single most common restorative procedure, they are only recommended\nwhen there aren\u2019t any other viable options to save a tooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist may recommend a crown to add a layer of\nprotection to a weakened tooth or to restore its health, such as from a large\ncavity or break. Besides the restorative benefits of a crown, they also have\ncosmetic advantages as well. While they were made of metal in the past, they now\nmatch the appearance of your natural tooth using all-ceramic material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Do I Need to Get a Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Minor fractures or breaks can often be repaired with a cosmetic\nbonding; however, a large break may require a dental crown. You\u2019ll need to see your\ndentist quickly to prevent any additional damage from occurring. The longer you\nwait to have your tooth treated, the more it\u2019s exposed to harmful bacteria.\nOver time, this can lead to decay or an infection. Not to mention, your tooth\nwill be weakened, increasing the risk of a more significant break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wait too long to see your dentist, a crown may no\nlonger be enough to save your tooth. Instead, you may need a root canal or even\nan extraction. It\u2019s best to contact your dentist right away for an appointment.\nWhile you wait, avoid chewing with the tooth and keep it clean. You can use an\nover-the-counter pain reliever and cold compresses to manage any pain or swelling.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Save Your Smile Today!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No one expects a broken tooth to interrupt their plans for\nthe day, but make the time to visit your dentist.
