When you have a dental injury that compromises the protection of your outer enamel layer, you expose the insides to the possibility of infection and decay. This means that restoring even minor cracks is of utmost importance when taking care of your oral health. When a smaller restoration with a dental filling is unable to repair your injury, a dental crown can provide the strength necessary to protect your tooth. This reliable treatment for damaged teeth can last for years when properly taken care of. Remember that returning the protective seal to your tooth is critical in preventing future tooth loss.
At Sunny Smiles, we help repair your teeth to improve their appearance and protect your smile from future wear. By staying on top of your oral health, you can enjoy a healthy smile for years to come!
The Benefits Of Restoring Your Injured Teeth
When tooth decay or physical trauma destroys a significant amount of your tooth’s healthy material, it can wreak havoc on your entire smile. Your bite may begin to misalign, leading to damage and decay on the other members of your teeth. By placing a dental crown, we carefully design it to return your bite while taking into consideration the shape and size of all surrounding teeth. This can restore the even distribution of force that occurs when your teeth properly align. Critically, this solution also returns the protective seal to the outside of your tooth that prevents bacteria from entering within. When your enamel is compromised, infections can reach the inner chamber and cause a painful ache. We could also combine this treatment with a dental implant to complete a prosthetic tooth above your gumline.
Creating Your New Dental Cap
When you visit our practice, we will take careful measurements of your smile to plan the shape and placement of your restoration. We will remove any decaying material and prepare your tooth to receive the new cap. By taking advantage of modern dental ceramics, we can design its shade to match the remaining members of your mouth. With the ideal shade, your repair work will look good as new!
Taking Care Of Your New Crown
After receiving your new restoration, we will give instructions on caring for it to maintain the strength of your smile. By continuing to brush and floss regularly, you can help prevent decay from accessing the tooth material underneath. At follow-up visits, we will inspect the integrity of your repair work to ensure it is working correctly.
