Dental Crowns
More than just a cosmetic issue, crooked teeth can contribute to serious oral health concerns. Crooked teeth make it difficult to brush and floss properly. This can allow plaque and debris to build up, leading to cavity formation and gum disease.
We at Wright Street Dental Clinic in Cloverdale, WA, Belmont, offer solutions for crooked teeth through invisible braces (Invisalign)
Straightening Teeth Without Braces
Straightening teeth without braces is used when there are no health considerations that would require braces.
Common treatment options include porcelain veneers and dental crowns.
- Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain Veneers can be used to correct minor problems including gaps between teeth, crooked teeth or uneven teeth. Learn more about Porcelain Veneers
- Cosmetic Bonding: Cosmetic bonding is a quick and easy way to fix minor imperfections in the teeth, including crooked teeth. For this procedure, a biocompatible resin is applied directly to the tooth and sculpted into the proper shape and form. Cosmetic bonding does not remove any of the natural tooth, but is not as durable and long-lasting as other procedures and may require touch-ups.
- Dental Crowns: A dental crown covers the entire tooth and can be used to close spaces between teeth, lengthen teeth, and achieve symmetry. A dental crown can also treat teeth that are worn, broken, or affected by tooth decay. Learn more about Dental Crowns
Orthodontics Straighten Crooked Teeth
Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry focused on correcting the alignment and position of teeth, jaw joints and TMJ disorders. Orthodontic treatment may involve either metal braces or invisible braces to straighten teeth.
Invisible braces are preferred by many adult and teen patients. This treatment is well suited for patients with mild to moderate alignment problems.
Benefits of Invisible Braces
- Effective treatment for a wide variety of alignment problems including: crowding, spacing, overbite and underbite
- Removable trays allow you to eat whatever you want
- Improved hygiene because you can brush and floss normally
- Smooth plastic instead of sharp metal means more comfortable treatment
- Convenience of visiting our Wright Street Dental Clinic, Belmont, to monitor treatment instead of specialist

If you're experiencing certain symptoms or noticing changes in your teeth, it may be time to consider a dental crown. While only your dentist can definitively determine whether a crown is necessary, several signs indicate you might need one.
Signs You Might Need a Dental Crown
- Persistent sensitivity or pain when biting down or chewing often indicates a cracked or weakened tooth that needs reinforcement. If you find yourself avoiding certain foods or chewing on one side of your mouth to prevent discomfort, a crown may be the solution.
- Visible cracks or fractures in a tooth are a clear warning sign. Cracks tend to worsen over time, and a crown can help prevent the tooth from breaking further or becoming infected.
- If you have a large, old filling that's taking up most of your tooth, the remaining tooth structure may be too weak to support another filling. In these cases, a crown provides the strength and protection needed to keep the tooth functional.
- After a root canal, teeth become more brittle and prone to fracture because the nerve and blood supply have been removed. A crown protects the treated tooth and restores its strength for long-term use.
- Severe discolouration or cosmetic concerns that bonding or whitening can't address may also warrant a crown, especially if the tooth is already weakened or heavily restored.
If you're experiencing any of these signs, it's best to schedule a consultation with our dentist in Cloverdale, WA. They'll evaluate your tooth with X-rays and a thorough examination to determine whether a crown is the best solution for protecting your oral health.
