Did you know that people with poorly regulated blood sugar due to diabetes are nearly three times more likely of gain gum disease. Gum disease is often painless and you may not even know you have it until it has already started to cause serious damage like tooth decay and tooth loss.
At Island Tower Dentistry, we offer natural looking dental crowns to restore the beauty of your smile. Crowns are effective for anyone with weak teeth that need protection or for those who want to replace an older metal crown to make their smile look as good as new.
Most people know that tooth color and symmetry are critical components of a great smile. Those with straight teeth alignment and pearly white coloration tend to have the best smiles. However, many people don’t realize that the gum line’s appearance and positioning can also play a crucial role in smile aesthetics. For example, gums that cover too much of the teeth can make them look unusually small; in some cases, creating the appearance of children’s teeth in an adult’s mouth. Gums can also recede too far, making teeth appear unusually large. This can also expose the teeth’s roots, making them more susceptible to tooth decay and periodontal disease.
