Crowns are the strongest restoration that can be put into someone’s mouth. However, even crowns can chip or break over time. If this happens it is important to see your dentist to have the crown and the tooth underneath evaluated so that a treatment plan can be established. At Centre Street Dental in Casino, this is generally done as part of our active maintenance appointment. Crowns, like teeth and gums, need checking regularly to make sure that they are still able to do the job that they were made for and not becoming a trap for plaque and food because they are chipped or breaking.
If you have crowns in your mouth and it has been a while since your last dental examination, call us for an appointment and Dr Greg Normoyle can thoroughly examine your mouth including your crowns.
