When a tooth sustains an injury, or a severe case of tooth decay occurs, then a restoration could be essential for avoiding painful symptoms. Our team can create custom full and partial dental crowns to repair your smile. In today’s blog, our team will talk about how we use these crowns to restore your smile!
When Teeth Need a Restoration
A crown covers the tooth, capping it and addressing an array of serious concerns. For example, our team could treat tooth decay in the more advanced states, and also complete a root canal by capping the treated tooth. We could repair cracks, chips, or even serious breakage. Likewise, we can add length to teeth worn down by bruxism (teeth grinding). Placement could also improve bite balance and chewing function, and also reshape malformed teeth for a more attractive smile. If you have tooth loss, then we can use one or two to support a dental bridge. Our team could also restore a single tooth dental implant too!
Creating Custom Restorations
To create them, we will first carefully examine the smile to plan the procedure in detail. We then numb the tooth being treated with a local anesthetic, and remove structure from the tooth to make room for your new restoration. We then take detailed images, which we use in a lab setting to help us design and fabricate your new crown. We often use material like porcelain, which can be shaded to blend with the smile and still offers a durable chewing surface.
Full and Partial Dental Crowns
We have a few options to help address your oral health concerns. With a full crown, we cap the tooth and cover everything from the gum line up. With these, we can address an array of cosmetic and restorative concerns. But we also have partial options, which address concerns too severe for a filling, but not severe enough to require a complete restoration. Instead, we create an inlay that fits in between the cusps on top of the teeth, or an onlay that covers the cusps. If you have any questions about how we restore these teeth and offer a lifelike appearance in many cases, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help you enjoy your best possible smile!
