Find out how a dental crown could improve the health and appearance of your smile.

We wear helmets to protect our heads from injury when riding a bike and sometimes we need something that acts like a helmet for a damaged tooth. More often than not, a dental crown is used to preserve and strengthen a tooth by covering the entire visible part of a tooth. A dental crown has many uses, which makes them one of the most commonly placed dental restorations offered by our Cincinnati, OH, family dentists Dr. Ron Solomon and Dr. Angela Burleson-Ott.

Feel Confident in Your Smile

If you are dealing with a weak or damaged tooth, chances are fairly good that you don’t feel confident in your smile. If you find yourself offering up close-lipped smiles or stifling laughter because of a discolored, misshapen or damaged tooth then it’s time you turned to our Cincinnati, OH, family dentists for restorative dentistry.

Preserve Your Real Smile

A dental crown, sometimes referred to as a “cap”, is placed over the natural crown of a tooth to protect it. This crown now becomes the tooth’s new outer layer, meant to protect it from further damage. After all, weak teeth are more likely to sustain further damage if left untreated. By getting a dental crown we can prevent further issues from happening to the tooth. A crown is most often used to,

• Restore strength and resiliency back into your natural tooth
• Restore full chewing strength back into your mouth so you can eat what you want without concern
• Preserve a tooth that has severe decay for which a dental filling just won’t provide enough support
• Improve the appearance of a discolored, malformed or oddly shaped tooth
• Cover a dental implant to replace a single missing tooth
• Hold a dental bridge firmly in place

Our goal is to maintain your natural teeth whenever possible as this promotes optimal oral health. Our highest priority is to save and protect your beautiful teeth with the help of high-quality restorations such as dental crowns.
