How much protection will your tooth need if it is injured or damaged by decay? After a review of the problem, we may determine that you need a dental crown to properly support it. A custom crown provided at Sunny Smiles can offer protection, and we can also take care to provide a restoration made with a material that imitates healthy enamel. Because your restoration can provide cosmetic and functional benefits, you can have an easier time committing to treatment, and you can feel more at ease with the results you see after work has concluded.
How Your Dentist Ensures Your Vulnerable Tooth Will Remain Safe
When you have a problem with your oral health because of a cavity or dental injury, restorative dental work can take place to resolve the matter. Based on the state of your tooth at the time you come in for support, we will determine if you should have a dental crown or dental filling put in place. While fillings provide a more conservative solution to problems with your smile, crowns are able to effectively resolve problems when they are more serious. This is because they provide coverage of the tooth above your gumline, which means we can reliably preserve the remaining structure after more significant harm.
Placing A Custom Crown Over Your Tooth
A dental crown will be placed over two visits, with the first appointment dedicated to proper planning and preparatory work for your tooth. The advanced work will help make space for your restoration so that it will be easily secured without disrupting neighboring teeth. At your follow-up appointment, we will confirm that the crown prepared for you is the right shape and size, and after doing so we can cap it in place. This is a permanent treatment, which means your tooth will remain supported over time. If a problem with your crown does arise at a later date, we can provide an evaluation and replacement if necessary.
Keeping Up With Smile Care To Prevent Problems With Your Well-Being
The more consistent you are with smile care both at home and from your dentist’s office, the less likely you are to need a dental crown in the future. Every routine dental checkup provides you with feedback about the condition of your enamel. It can be frustrating to learn that you have a cavity, but when one is caught and treated before you have discomfort or sensitivity issues, you are more likely to qualify for care with a dental filling instead of a crown.
