Cynthia Cox, D.D.S. in Oakland has a few questions for you. Do you have a cracked or broken tooth? What about a tooth that's decayed too much to hold a filling? Did you know that if the crack or decay extends into your root, you will have an even worse problem on your hand? Dental crowns are a natural-looking and comfortable solution to cracked, broken, or excessively decayed teeth.
A crown is a metal or porcelain cap that covers the problematic tooth completely. Dr. Cox can fit crowns tightly at the base of a patient's gum and in order to protect what remains of the natural tooth.
Dr. Cynthia Cox can tell you if dental crowns are the cosmetic dentistry makeover solution best suited for you. Just call (510) 601-6500 or complete the online form to schedule an appointment. You won't even have to leave Oakland! If you suffer from one or more completely missing teeth, she may also suggest dental bridges, another "fixed" dentistry solution that, like crowns, offer greater advantages than partial dentures or removable appliances.
