The biggest advantage of Dental Caps is protection. A Dental Cap covers an damaged tooth helping it handle everyday chewing without taking as much direct pressure. Dentists often recommend a Dental Cap after a root canal. When a tooth has a large filling that leaves it weak.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 confidence while eating. You can bite into foods with less worry provided a Dentist says the Dental Cap has healed properly.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A natural\u2011looking smile. Porcelain and ceramic Dental Caps can match teeth though getting the shade just right takes a skilled Dentist.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Long\u2011term value. With care many Dental Caps last around 5 to 15 years or longer depending on the material and how much pressure they take.<\/p>\r\n
Dental Caps are not perfect. Preparing a tooth for a Dental Cap usually means removing some natural tooth structure. That change is permanent. If the tooth is already sensitive you may also notice discomfort after the procedure although it often settles down.<\/p>\r\n
Cost is another issue. A Dental Cap can be expensive especially if your dental plan does not cover much of the treatment.. If a Dental Cap chips, loosens or develops problems underneath you will need another visit to the Dentist.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Gum irritation. Plaque around a Dental Caps edge can irritate your gums especially if brushing gets rushed.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Sensitivity to hot or cold. This sometimes happens after placement. Lasting or worsening pain deserves a Dentist check, not a week of hoping it will disappear.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Decay beneath the Dental Cap. The Dental Cap itself cannot get a cavity. The natural tooth underneath can still get one. That is the part people tend to forget.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Brush daily with fluoride toothpaste taking extra care along the gumline where a Dental Cap meets your natural tooth.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Floss every day. Slide the floss gently around the tooth than snapping it against the gums and ask a Dentist about flossing tools if the area feels awkward to reach.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Skip chewing. Biting hard objects. A Dental Cap is strong. Treating it like a bottle opener is asking for trouble.<\/p>\r\n
