Dental Crowns & Bridges in Webster Groves, MO
Dental crowns and bridges restore your smile when teeth are missing, while crowns on their own have a variety of uses throughout dentistry.
Dental crowns help restore a tooth’s strength and appearance, cap a dental implant or secure a bridge. At Webster Groves Dental, we also use crowns—colored and designed to match your smile—to cover a large filling, protect a tooth from a severe fracture in the future, or work as part of tooth replacement.
Placing a tooth cap now may help you avoid a root canal or dental extraction in the future. Your crown needs to fit your tooth properly because an ill-fitting crown is more likely to cause long-term problems, such as developing a cavity or needing replacement altogether.
Protect Your Smile with Dental Crowns
Permanent tooth crowns help repair and protect compromised teeth, or they work as part of tooth replacement. Patients near Webster Groves, MO might benefit from a dental crown if they have:
- A chipped tooth
- A tooth with a large fracture or crack
- A tooth that underwent root canal treatment
- A stained or ugly tooth that you want to hide
- A tooth that’s otherwise damaged or at-risk for future injury
- A dental implant post that requires a replacement tooth
- A dental bridge that requires crowns for anchoring
Dr. Matthew Wenzel, DMD can help you determine if a tooth crown is your best option to repair an injured tooth or hide a cosmetic flaw.
