Crowns are a reliable solution for many dental problems. However, there are many myths surrounding them. The Athens Dental Group team debunks a few of them here.
Myth:They Look Fake.
Fact:Modern techniques and lifelike materials such as porcelain have dramatically improved the appearance of crowns, making them look completely like natural teeth. Our customized approach also ensures they look natural and complement your overall look.
Myth:The Crown Procedure is Painful.
Fact:Getting a crown can reduce pain and discomfort and protect decayed teeth. The treatment site is normally numbed with a local anesthetic before the procedure. There may be some sensitivity post-procedure, which will dissipate quickly.
Myth:Crowns Last Forever.
Fact:With proper care, a crown can last 15 years or more but needs to be replaced. To get the best out of them, practice good oral hygiene at home, visit the dentist regularly for cleanings and exams, and never use your teeth as tools.
