Help When Your Crown Feels Less Secure

You can be understandably worried when you stop feeling as if your dental crown can absorb bite pressure. After all, this one interruption can interfere with your bite function in ways that are hard to ignore, and it can make you worry for the overall stability and security of your restoration. The unfortunate truth is that a tooth that has been through restorative dental work will always need support. At our Northwest IN dentist’s office, we provide treatment with crowns that are durable as well as able to match your enamel. If you lose faith in a crown or filling, you can come to us to have an evaluation to see if you might require a replacement.

Should I Be Worried About An Older Crown?

Over the years, your dental crown will have considerable work to do when it comes to absorbing bite pressure. If you are not sure you can apply this kind of pressure to an older restoration, you should have it looked at as soon as possible. One reason for this is that you could lose the crown, and in doing so you can cause harm to neighboring teeth and leave the tooth that is normally covered exposed and vulnerable to problems. You also need to be concerned with the impact that poorer bite movements can have on your quality of life, as these problems can turn into issues with TMJ disorder.

Talk To Your Dentist When You Have An Issue With A Restoration

Have a loose, broken, or lost crown looked at as soon as possible. You need to have the right protection in place for your tooth if you want it to remain healthy. Fortunately, for this and other matters, we do offer emergency dental services. You can see us on short notice to have the matter evaluated, which can lead to the appropriate treatment!
