Restore Your Smile and Fix Your Discomfort with a Dental Crown Replacement

If you have a tooth that has suffered severe oral decay or a traumatic accident, you may require a dental crown to protect the tooth. Dental crowns come in many shapes and forms. But there are some situations where your dental crown might be damaged, and you might need a dental crown replacement. Visit us at Dentistry on Parkdale in Hamilton, Ontario, to ensure your tooth is properly protected.

Why Does a Dental Crown Get Damaged?

 There are several reasons why a dental crown might get damaged. Some of the biggest reasons include:

• You may have bacteria or inflammation between the tooth and the crown, which might dislodge it
• The crown can get damaged if you bite down on something particularly hard, potentially cracking it
• You could be involved in a traumatic accident, such as a motor vehicle collision, that damages the crown
• The crown could be injured if you play contact sports and get hit in the mouth

To ensure your tooth is properly protected, you should get a damaged crown replaced as quickly as possible. 

How Does a Dental Crown Replacement Work?

During a dental crown replacement in Hamilton, Ontario, the dentist will take a look at your tooth and the crown to see what the problem is. Then, the dentist will remove the damaged crown, examining the tooth underneath. Similar to the original process, the dentist will mold a new crown that has been perfectly shaped to match the tooth before installing it, ensuring it provides optimal protection. The dentist will also review a few precautions that you should follow to make sure the crown is protected moving forward.
