Dr. Bowden and Dr. Osmunson answers "Why have dental crowns?"

 

The crown serves two important functions.  First, it restores the appearance of your teeth and your face. If your tooth is severely decayed or cracked, the dentist will need to restore it prior to preparing a cap.  Teeth also support the muscles in our faces, so anything less than a full tooth may affect the way you look.

Second, a crown will be the same size and shape as the natural tooth.  As a result, it will keep your jaw and bite aligned; it will also make sure that other teeth don't shift locations or take on a greater share of the work of biting and chewing.

For more information on dental crowns, call Dr. Bowden and Dr. Osmunson at 503 675-7300.
