Read on.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Dental Crowns and Fillings \u2013 What Are They?<\/h3>\n<p>There are differences between these two, but not by much. They both bring stability and excellent functionality back to your mouth only in different ways.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with fillings, shall we? They are placed inside of the walls of your tooth. All it does is fill in whatever portion of your teeth is missing and helps it retain its natural shape. Depending on how deep the hole is or what shape will determine how much filling is used and how successful it can be. Look at it this way: if you have a tooth that\u2019s been suffering from major tooth damage, a filling may not be enough because of the strength of the tooth it\u2019s fixing. So, basically, if the hole is larger, the tooth will be much weaker.<\/p>\n<p>Crowns are a bit different. A crown fits precisely over a damaged tooth. It\u2019s also custom-designed in a laboratory using exact measurements so it fits like a glove. Crowns are made of very strong materials and can imitate your real teeth. It\u2019s becoming a more common choice among patients who want to completely cover a tooth.<\/p>\n<p>So, which one should you choose? That\u2019s between you and Dr. Dann.<\/p>\n<h3>Schedule a Consultation Today<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to receive treatment, we\u2019re ready to help.
