You’re sipping your favorite iced coffee or enjoying a crunchy snack when suddenly—you feel a sharp pain or hear a small “crack.” It might be subtle at first, but over the next few days, your tooth becomes increasingly sensitive to heat, cold, or pressure. A cracked tooth is more than a cosmetic issue—it indicates your tooth’s structure is compromised and needs protection.
That’s why more patients in Los Angeles are turning to MR Dental Aesthetics for restorative solutions like dental crowns. Led by Dr. Mahnaz Rashti, our Beverly Hills practice specializes in protecting damaged teeth and restoring full oral function through precision-crafted crowns. In this article, we’ll explore why dental crowns are the go-to treatment for cracked teeth.
Protect your tooth from further damage
When a tooth is cracked, it becomes structurally unstable. Everyday actions like chewing or grinding can cause the fracture to deepen, sometimes leading to infection, nerve damage, or complete tooth loss. A dental crown acts as a protective cover that absorbs pressure and reinforces the tooth’s natural shape.
At MR Dental Aesthetics, we use advanced imaging to assess the extent of the damage and custom-design your crown for optimal protection. By capping the compromised tooth, you avoid more invasive treatments like root canals or extractions down the line.
Restore the strength and function of your bite
A cracked tooth often weakens your ability to bite and chew comfortably. You might start favoring one side of your mouth or avoiding certain foods altogether. Over time, this imbalance can affect your jaw health and contribute to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues.
A well-made crown restores the full function of your tooth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Our team at MR Dental Aesthetics ensures that every crown is precision-fitted for your bite alignment so you can return to your daily routine without discomfort.
Offer cosmetic benefits for damaged teeth
Beyond physical discomfort, a cracked or chipped tooth can impact your confidence. If the affected tooth is visible when you smile, it might make you self-conscious in social settings.
Dental crowns not only reinforce the tooth but also improve its appearance. At MR Dental Aesthetics, we specialize in porcelain and zirconia crowns that closely match the color and translucency of natural enamel, giving you a seamless result that blends with your smile. Whether your concern is aesthetic, functional, or both, we tailor your crown to meet your goals.
Prevent infection and future complications
A cracked tooth can provide an entry point for bacteria, which may lead to infection in the pulp of the tooth. Left untreated, this can progress into an abscess or require root canal therapy. Worse, the infection can spread to surrounding tissues and even impact your systemic health.
Placing a dental crown early helps seal off the damaged area and reduce the risk of infection. At MR Dental Aesthetics, we prioritize conservative, proactive treatment plans that preserve your natural teeth and minimize future complications.
Ensure durable, long-lasting results
When properly maintained, dental crowns can last 10 to 15 years—or even longer. Thanks to cutting-edge materials, modern crowns are durable and resistant to staining, chipping, or wear.
Our crowns are crafted from high-quality porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), depending on the location of the tooth and your specific needs. Each material is chosen for longevity, so your investment will continue to serve you for years to come.
Customized to your individual needs
No two teeth—or patients—are the same. That’s why MR Dental Aesthetics takes a highly personalized approach to crown placement. We begin with a comprehensive consultation, followed by detailed impressions and digital scans. Your crown is then custom-fabricated to suit the size, shape, and shade of your surrounding teeth.
This level of customization ensures a natural look and prevents bite misalignment or discomfort. You’ll leave our practice with a crown that feels like a natural extension of your own tooth.
Protect your smile with confidence
If you’ve experienced a cracked tooth or suspect something isn’t quite right, don’t wait for it to worsen. A dental crown can restore your tooth’s strength, function, and appearance—while preventing costly complications down the road. More Angelenos are turning to MR Dental Aesthetics for their crown treatment because we use cutting-edge technology and deliver compassionate care to ensure exceptional, lasting results.
