Why Choose a Crown?
Crowns, or caps, are quite literally like crowns or hats for your teeth, restoring their beauty and function.
They’re a common dental restoration used to fix cracked, chipped, or severely decayed teeth.
They work by reinforcing what’s left of the tooth and providing a protective barrier so that bacteria and plaque don’t further infect the tooth.
- Restore Your Smile: Crowns can give your smile a major upgrade, fixing chips, cracks, and discoloration. It can sometimes fully restore their function.
- Strengthen Your Teeth: A crown can protect a weakened tooth from further damage. This also helps the tooth prevent further infecting surrounding teeth and gums.
- Improve Your Bite: A damaged tooth can throw off your bite, causing discomfort. Crowns can help restore your bite to its proper alignment, helping you speak and chew properly.
- Enhance Your Confidence: A beautiful smile can boost your self-esteem and make you more confident, giving you the edge when making a first impression.

Getting a crown usually involves a few steps. Here is what you can expect from the team at Sepe Dental in Delray Beach, FL:

Caring for Your Crown
Crowns are permanent solutions, but only if they are well-maintained. Just like your other teeth, here are some tips to ensure your crown lasts as long as possible:

- Avoid biting on complex objects and foods so that the crown doesn’t get dislodged.
