Restore the Chewing Power of Worn Teeth with Dental Crown Treatment

Age and consistent use year after year can wear down the enamel of your teeth, making them look old and worn. Worn teeth are less resilient to decay and more susceptible to chipping and cracking. Dental crowns offer a practical solution to fixing worn teeth to protect their structure and restore their usefulness. An evaluation by Dr. Trevor Greene of Piney Orchard Dental in Odenton, Maryland, can determine if dental crown treatment is a good fit for you.

Causes of Wear and Tear on Your Teeth

Although it’s normal for teeth to become worn over the years, your diet and lifestyle habits can also contribute to this condition. You can wear down teeth faster by:

  • Brushing too hard with a hard-bristle toothbrush
  • Using your teeth as a tool for opening bottles and packages
  • Chewing on ice or non-food items like pencils and pens 
  • Grinding your teeth at night
  • Using abrasive products on your teeth like OTC whitening gels or certain types of toothpaste
  • Constantly consuming acidic foods or drinks


Over time, these habits will take a toll on your teeth, making them look old and worn prematurely. 

Purpose of a Dental Crown

Dental crowns have been used for years to strengthen and protect weak, worn, or damaged teeth. A crown is a porcelain restoration that completely covers your tooth, giving it extra strength and durability for biting and chewing. Crowns can be used to restore worn teeth or repair chipped, cracked, or broken teeth to restore their usefulness. In the process, crowns shield teeth from future breakage and decay and reduce tooth sensitivity.

Cosmetically, crowns can conceal tooth flaws and improve your smile’s appearance. By covering imperfections like chips, stains, and cracks or altering the size and shape of irregular teeth, crowns can make your teeth whiter, more symmetrical, and more aesthetically pleasing.
