Crowns/Bridges

At Lake Mills Family Dental, we recognize that certain teeth require special attention and protection to ensure their long-term health and functionality. Crowns play a pivotal role in safeguarding teeth that are highly susceptible to additional damage, providing a robust and durable solution for various dental concerns.

Here's a more in-depth look at our approach to dental crowns:

Comprehensive Protection:

Crowns are recommended when a tooth is broken or has a sizable filling with decay. This comprehensive protection helps guard against further damage, ensuring the longevity and stability of the tooth.

Ideal for Root Canal-Treated Teeth:

Following a root canal procedure, where tooth structure is removed, a crown becomes the preferred choice to cover the treated tooth. This not only reinforces the tooth but also seals off the canal space, preventing potential reinfection.

Preserving Aesthetics for Anterior Teeth:

While crowns are essential for posterior teeth, anterior teeth may sometimes be left uncovered to preserve natural aesthetics. This approach is taken to maintain the visual appeal of your smile, as anterior teeth typically experience less compressive forces during biting.

At Lake Mills Family Dental, we prioritize the long-term health and aesthetics of your teeth. If you have concerns about the condition of your teeth or have undergone a root canal, we're here to discuss whether crowns may be the optimal solution for you. Schedule a consultation with us to explore how crowns can contribute to the durability and beauty of your smile.
