Give your cracked, broken, or excessively decayed tooth a new lease on life with a dental crown provided by Howell's Dr. Wayne Nelson. If left unattended, a cracked or broken tooth can extend the damage to the root and cause even more problems. Likewise, an excessively decayed tooth can no longer hold a filling. Dental crowns look and feel like natural teeth.
Because a crown fit by Dr. Nelson sits so snugly on the base of your gum line, it won't bother you at all. In fact, crowns, or caps made of metal or porcelain that completely cover and protect what remains of the natural tooth, are an extreme improvement when dealing with problematic teeth.
Dr. Wayne Nelson can tell you if dental crowns are the cosmetic dentistry makeover solution best suited for you. Just call (517) 546-7211 or complete the online form to schedule an appointment. You won't even have to leave Howell! If you suffer from one or more completely missing teeth, he may also suggest dental bridges, another "fixed" dentistry solution that, like crowns, offer greater advantages than partial dentures or removable appliances.
Brush Your Teeth Daily!
For good oral health, brush your teeth twice a day with a good fluoride toothpaste!
How Old Is Your Toothbrush?
Replace your toothbrush every 3 or 4 months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush won't do a good job of cleaning your teeth.
A Healthy Diet Makes a Healthy Smile!
For healthy teeth and gums, eat a balanced diet and limit between-meal snacks. Go easy on sugary treats!
