Full Mouth Crowns: Full Mouth Restoration
Full mouth crowns are one of the most comprehensive and complete dental restorations available for those with a variety of dental problems, including cavities, worn teeth, cracked teeth, or even severely worn teeth. They help strengthen teeth and restore the ability to chew food effectively. Full mouth crowns can also dramatically improve the aesthetics of your smile.
Why do I need to get full mouth crowns?
Full mouth crowns offer several benefits, especially for people who have dental problems throughout their mouth, such as tooth loss, severe decay, or teeth that cannot be treated with other treatments such as fillings or bridges. Crowns can help:
- Improves chewing – The crowned tooth will become stronger and able to chew food as well as normal teeth.
- Increase tooth strength – Dental crowns can protect natural teeth from further wear and tear or fracture.
- Restore the shape and color of your teeth – Crowned teeth will look beautiful and have a natural color, helping to boost your confidence in your smile.
- Protecting Weak Teeth – Dental crowns help protect affected teeth from further damage.
