When a tooth needs more than a filling, we could restore it with a custom-made and natural-looking dental crown. This can return your smile to full function, health, and beauty again. In today’s blog, your Celina, TX, dentist talks about how we restore smiles with a crown, with results that blend with your smile.
When Teeth Need a Crown
When should you see our team about receiving a dental crown? Our team could prescribe one to repair a cracked or chipped tooth, or to correct a misshapen tooth. Placement could be essential for improving overall bite balance and chewing function. We have even used them to lengthen teeth worn down by bruxism (teeth grinding) or to treat a more advanced case of tooth decay. If you have an infected tooth, then our team could use a restoration to complete a root canal. When you have missing teeth, a restoration could secure a dental bridge in place or even restore a single tooth dental implant.
Our Lifelike Materials
When possible, we use lifelike materials that will blend with your smile. For example, the more visible front facing teeth could receive one made from ceramic, which can absorb daily bite forces and also be shaded to blend with the teeth. Since the side and rear teeth absorb greater bite forces and pressures, we could opt for zirconia or possibly porcelain-fused-to-metal, which can also be shaded to match surrounding teeth and handle the greater level of bite forces.
Placing Your New Restoration
How do we place your new dental restoration? To begin, our team will numb the tooth receiving one so you stay comfortable as we remove structure from it, making room for the crown. We then take detailed digital images and measurements of the tooth, which allows us to design and craft the restoration. When the dental restoration is complete, our team will secure it to the tooth with a powerful bonding agent. To ensure it can last for years to come, be sure you brush and floss you restored tooth alongside the rest of your smile. Try to see us every six months for a checkup and cleaning too, so we can monitor the tooth and offer treatment as needed.
If you have any questions about how we restore teeth with a dental crown, or if you have an aching or damaged tooth, then reach out to our team today. Now is also a chance to use your remaining 2024 dental benefits before they expire at the end of the year.
