When you have a cracked or chipped tooth, or one with major tooth decay, then you could benefit from a custom-made dental crown. Our modern dental restoration can offer a lifelike appearance, and long-lasting dental repair. In today’s blog, your El Paso, TX, dentists talk about modern dental crowns.
How Restorations Help Your Smile
A dental crown is a full restoration that caps a tooth, and offers treatment for minor and serious restorative concerns. Using our lifelike materials, we can provide this repair with a cosmetic touch and a lifelike appearance. We could place crowns to address decay too severe for a filling, or as part of your root canal procedure for an infected tooth. Placement could repair cracked, chipped, and broken teeth, and also address misshapen ones too. We can lengthen the ones worn down by the grinding, and even if you have missing teeth, we can use crowns to secure a bridge or to restore an individual dental implant.
Creating and Placing Them
To place one, our team will first numb your tooth and then remove structure from it, making room for your new dental restoration. We then gather images of the tooth with digital systems, using these to create a 3D computer impression. Our team then employs this to help design and craft your finished product. We could use all-porcelain for the front facing teeth, which are the most visible. These are shaded to blend with the smile seamlessly. For the side and rear teeth, which endure greater bite forces and pressures, we could use porcelain-fused-to-metal or zirconia, which are also lifelike in appearance, but far more durable and strong. We want to make sure you can smile with confidence moving forward!
Protecting Your Teeth
To help protect the newly restored tooth, and to safeguard your others as well, we recommend good oral hygiene habits. For example, try to make time to brush in the morning and at night using a fluoride toothpaste, and for at least two minutes. You also need to floss every evening as well, and try to cut back on sugar and starch-rich foods and drinks. Try to add more items high in vitamin C and D!
