Dental Crowns from Annapolis Dental Care

What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over weak or damaged tooth.

Why do I need a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns are used in the following situations:

  • To protect a weak tooth or to prevent further damage of a broken tooth. If a tooth has sustained enough damage or decay to cause you pain or threaten the health of your mouth but not enough to warrant extraction, a crown is a great solution for preventing further problems while preserving much of your real tooth.
  • To cover a severely discolored or misshapen tooth. Dental crowns are an effective way to enhance your smile!
  • To cover a dental implant
  • To hold a dental bridge in place. If you’ve lost a tooth completely, two crowns and a false tooth called a “pontic” can be used to to create a bridge that will fill in the gap.


How long do Dental Crowns last?

Dental crowns can last anywhere from 5 years to 15 years, depending on the amount of wear and tear the crown is exposed to and how well you follow good oral hygiene practices.
