Crowns or Implants: what should you choose?

There is nothing like having all your natural teeth intact. However, you may face certain instances where your tooth become so badly damaged or decayed that they can no longer be saved. A root canal then becomes important to save the tooth if the nerves get damaged. During this treatment, your tooth’s pulp and damaged nerves are removed, and it is cleaned and sealed. 

Dental crowns
A dental crown is then fixed on top of the tooth and cemented to protect it from falling off. A dental crown is big enough to “cap” the whole projection, preventing it from harm. Crowns are generally used when your tooth is badly decayed or broken to hold a normal filling. A lot of cosmetic dentist in Brampton make use of porcelain crowns that feel and look like a real tooth.

Some of the benefits of using porcelain dental crowns include:
  1. Add strength to the worn out teeth
  2. Preserve broken natural teeth
  3. Offer a natural appearance
  4. Stain resistant
  5. Enhance the strength of the bite
Dental Implants:
If a tooth is infected in a bad way, it may be a little too late to save it through the root canal treatment. In this case, your tooth will have to be pulled out.

Dental implants are small screws that act as the root of the tooth. They are fastened permanently to the jaw to hold the dentures, permanent restoration or partial dentures, in place. This option is best for those who are in good oral health and have lost a tooth due to periodontal disease, or accident. Dental implants are certainly better and safer for your overall oral health in comparison to traditional bridgework, as implants do not depend on the neighboring teeth for any support. 

To know more about your options it is best to get in touch with a dental clinic. Make sure you compare the pricing of at least three dentist Brampton before choosing one.
