Auburn Hills patients restore look, function in short-term, and avoid long-term health problems with crowns
The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry reports 74 percent of dentists responding in a 2013 survey noted "crowns" were completed more frequently than other procedures. This figure is greater than any other procedure on the list of common treatments, including implants, bridges, dentures, and orthodontics.
Of course, crowns and some of the other procedures on the list serve more than a cosmetic purpose. While the importance of feeling good about how you look can't be overstated, maintaining or restoring the function and health of your teeth, mouth, and overall wellness is No. 1 on Metropolitan Dental Center's priority list. This is evidenced in part by the neuromuscular dentistry knowledge and experience of Drs. Jeffrey Ingber and Martin Fraschetti.
When the upper and lower teeth and jaws don't fit together properly, these specialists understand the pain, popping and clicking, and other temporomandibular joint-related problems that can emerge. Symptoms interfere with the quality of life and can negatively affect otherwise healthy teeth. To avoid these issues, Drs. Ingber and Fraschetti assure crowns are precisely designed to each patient's bite.
These crowns to cap a natural tooth or fabricated tooth root (dental implant) solve a number of conditions, such as cracking, wear, decay, and missing or misshapen teeth. They also prevent a number of problems that can emerge over the longer term if structural deficiencies and other tooth-related weaknesses go untreated.

The problem: Decay
Fillings may not suffice for large cavities and very weak teeth. By restoring normal shape, density, and size with a crown, decay doesn't progress to the pulp or inner part of the tooth. You avoid the need for a root canal procedure. A painful infection or abscess may be avoided. If decay is extensive, a root canal may fail to save the tooth. It may need to be extracted. The tooth could become loose and fall out on its own.The problem: Missing teeth
A crown is placed over a dental implant to rebuild a tooth lost or extracted as the result of an accident or decay from the root up. If left untreated, gaps may make you feel self-conscious. Your self-esteem can take a hit. If a part of your mouth isn't being used to bite or chew, bone is lost. Over time, your face may appear sunken. Your teeth aren't there to support facial tissues. A lack of teeth can affect how you pronounce words and how you eat. More problems may arise from inadequate nutrition.The problem: Poor shape, wear
Aside from the aesthetic implications, misshapen teeth, chips and cracks, can make it difficult to clean the teeth properly. If you aren't able to brush and floss in-between teeth, decay-causing bacteria may flourish. These conditions can also damage surrounding teeth and irritate surrounding tissues.By fitting crowns in teeth near Auburn Hills, Metropolitan Dental Center can get you out of pain or discomfort and ease embarrassment associated with cracks, chip, gaps, and other concerns.
