Dental Crowns for Cracked Teeth – Dr. Swati Khanna
Are you having cracked teeth? Dr. Swati Khanna from Dentistry at LaSalle,Aldershot recommends Dental Crowns. In the above video Dr. Swati Khanna explains why she recommends Dental Crowns for any filling. If you are someone from Aldershot area, having cracked teeth and need to get a crown done, Dr. Swati Khanna is the one.
These days people do present a lot of times with crack lines and cracked teeth. Few of the reasons are people are grinding and crunching more than before and they have old silver fillings which contract and expand with the temperature leading to cracks in the teeth.
Those teeth, if we don't treat them pro-actively can become problematic, especially the cracks with the big silver fillings.
Why do you recommend crowns for cracked teeth?
Any teeth that have big fillings they are very prone to developing cracks. If you don't put crowns on them your investment on the tooth can almost be negated and you might end up losing the tooth if the crack is too far deep on the root.
Crowns are highly recommended for any fillings, very large in size and prone to having fractures.

Dental bridges
A bridge is a complete unit comprised of dental crowns with a prosthetic tooth fused between them. It literally bridges the gap where a tooth is missing. The crowns are fitted over teeth on either side of the gap, positioning the replacement tooth precisely where the natural one had been.
Benefits of a dental bridge include:
Fast and economical tooth replacement solution
Natural, beautiful appearance
Restore chewing ability
The procedure
The process is very similar for a dental crown or bridge. We begin with an examination and consultation. If you choose a crown of bridge, the procedure is generally completed in just a few visits:
The tooth or teeth are prepared by removing damaged and diseased material, and then shaped for optimal retention.
A temporary restoration is placed, while the permanent one is created by a quality dental laboratory.
The new restoration is checked for fit and appearance, then permanently cemented in place.
The entire process generally takes about a week.
We also offer fillings, dental bonding, veneers, implants, dentures, and other options. Call us at (905) 481-9078 to schedule a consultation and find out what is best for you.
