Dental crowns can help restore damaged or broken teeth. Crowns fit over a tooth and are normally placed after a root canal. They help to protect a weak tooth from breaking down further, and protect that tooth from bacteria. Crowns are durable and can be customized to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth.
At The Foleck Center, we provide many services for our patients including dental crowns in Norfolk. Our doctors have years of experience in restorative dentistry, and uses state of the art technology to provide exceptional care. Patients can trust The Foleck Center with their family’s oral health.
Are Crowns More Resistant to Acid?
Ceramic crowns are highly durable and do resist acid compared to natural teeth. They are made out of zirconia which is a strong material that is resistant to acid. Over time all restorations may show wear and tear, but your crowns are built to last and to resist acid from sugary drinks or foods. Even though your crowns may be more durable to corrosion, your gums and surrounding tissue are still very susceptible to bacteria and gum disease. We recommend following a healthy diet, and avoiding sugary foods and drinks to help keep your crowns, natural teeth, and mouth stay healthy.
What Can I Do to Take Care of My Crowns?
Our doctors have many years of experience in all aspects of dentistry, and focus on continuing education and training, to give patients the latest products and equipment on the market. Our doctors are constantly expanding on their education, and working to learn the newest techniques in dental care.
