🦷 When Does a Tooth Need a Crown?

Sometimes, a filling just isn’t enough to protect a tooth. A dental crown may be recommended when a tooth is:

✔️ Cracked, broken, or severely worn
✔️ Weakened by a large filling
✔️ Significantly damaged by decay
✔️ Treated with a root canal

A crown covers and strengthens the tooth, helping restore its shape, function, and appearance—and potentially preventing further damage.

Not sure if you need a filling or a crown? We can help determine the best option for your smile. 😁

Today, we pause to honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the first responders who ran toward danger without hesitation, and every family that carried grief with extraordinary grace.

🇺🇸 We will never forget.

🦷 Do I really need to replace a missing tooth?

Even if the gap doesn’t bother you, a missing tooth can affect your oral health. Over time, nearby teeth may shift, your bite can change, and bone loss can occur in the area.
Replacing a missing tooth can help protect your bite, restore function, and keep your smile healthy.

Missing a tooth? Ask us about your replacement options! 🦷✨

❓ FAQ Wednesday: Can a chipped tooth wait until after vacation?

It depends on the size and location of the chip.

A small chip may not be an emergency, but even minor damage can leave a tooth vulnerable to further cracking, sensitivity, or decay. If the chip is causing pain, has a sharp edge, or involves a large portion of the tooth, it's best to have it evaluated as soon as possible.

If you're heading out of town, give our office a call. We can help determine whether you should be seen before your trip and provide recommendations to protect your smile while you're away.

🥤☀️ Not all summer drinks are smile-friendly!

Some of the biggest culprits behind tooth decay and enamel erosion are popular warm-weather favorites like:
🍋 Lemonade
🥤 Soda
⚡ Sports and energy drinks
🍹 Sweet tea and fruity cocktails

These beverages can be high in sugar and acids that weaken enamel and increase the risk of cavities.

Enjoy your favorite summer treats in moderation, drink water throughout the day, and rinse with water after sipping acidic beverages to help protect your smile.
