With more and more of us turning to processed foods and sugared-out snacks, it's no wonder many teeth across America are falling apart at an alarming rate. Fortunately, even the most decayed and unattractive teeth can be dealt with, so that your confidence can stay high for every smile from here on out.

That's because at DeClerck Family Dental, we offer lasting dental solutions that can restore all your problem teeth. Dr. Krystal DeClerck has what it takes to cover up the unsightly areas of your dental profile that deter others from asking you to smile in pictures!

The leading treatment for overcoming decayed teeth is with dental crowns, which are coverings that fit on top of damaged or decayed teeth so that they can't be seen above your gum line. This makes dental crowns the premier dental decision for teeth that are so decayed, they lack visible structure above your gums.

Dental crowns further help your damaged teeth by:

• Strengthening them
• Improving their function
• Covering them so that your smile is more attractive to onlookers

Plus, the dental ceramics used to make crowns look very realistic in comparison to your surrounding natural teeth, and can even be created using an improved shade of white compared with your tooth's natural appearance.

Once you've had crowns placed, it's important that you care for them just as you should your normal teeth to maintain their success in your smile. That means:

• Brush at least twice each day and floss daily
• Attend all of your scheduled dental cleanings
• Don't use your teeth to tear open packages or open containers
• Wear a nightguard if you have a bad bedtime habit of grinding your teeth
