A crown is a restoration that covers your tooth and allows us to address a series of serious restorative concerns, and to do so with a cosmetic approach. We always custom-make them to ensure they fit your needs and last for years to come. In today’s blog, Celina Family Dentistry talks about creating custom crowns for our Celina, TX, patient.
When A Tooth Needs a Crown
At what point does your tooth benefit from a dental crown? We could place a full dental restoration when you have injuries, such as cracks or chips, that are too severe for a filling or bonding procedure. Our team could use them to address severe tooth decay, and to complete a root canal if you have an infected tooth. The procedure could also help boost bite balance and chewing function. We could even use them to help replace missing teeth, as they support dental bridges and even restore single tooth dental implants.
A Custom and Lifelike Option
The key to their success and lifelike appearance is their custom nature. Each one we create and place has been specifically for your tooth. To begin, we will gently numb the tooth and remove structure to accommodate your new restoration. Our team then takes detailed images of the prepared tooth with intraoral cameras, using these images in a lab setting to design and craft your new crown. We select materials that are durable and able to handle daily bite forces. For the more visible front-facing teeth, we can offer all-porcelain. For the side and rear teeth, which must handle more severe pressures, we could offer porcelain-fused-to-metal or zirconia, which can be shaded to blend with the rest of the smile.
Placing Your New Restoration
When your new restoration is ready, we will check the fit and then make any necessary adjustments to ensure an optimal fit. We then attach the finished product with a powerful bonding agent, one that can secure your new and lifelike restoration in place for years to come. To help ensure a long-lasting and natural placement, be sure you brush and floss daily, limiting the sugar in your diet, avoid tobacco products, and see our team for a routine checkup and cleanings every six months. If you have any questions about how we help your smile with a natural-looking and discreet dental crown, then contact our team today to learn more and get started.
