With the American population living longer, seniors' oral health has become an important issue, as has the widespread problem of elder abuse. Every year more than 2.5 million older Americans may be victims of elder abuse, and in some cases dentists serve as the first line of defense, according to a report in the May/June 2005 issue of General Dentistry, the clinical, peer-reviewed journal of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD).

Dental Crowns

Strengthening and Protecting Damaged Teeth

Sometimes when a tooth has severe damage or decay, a crown must be used to repair it instead of a regular filling. A dental crown completely encases the damaged tooth, restoring its function and health. It's as if it had never been damaged at all!

Dental crowns can improve your smile by:

• Repairing a decayed or damaged tooth
• Supporting a dental bridge
• Improving the function of an irregularly shaped tooth
• Enhancing the beauty of your smile
• Strengthening a fractured or weakened tooth
• Protecting a tooth following root canal therapy

Dr. Craycroft works with you and with a highly skilled lab to ensure your dental crown fits your smile comfortably and aesthetically.
