Sometimes, issues occur that could damage your teeth, leading to a higher risk of cavities and more. To repair the tooth and protect your smile, we can offer a custom and lifelike crown. In today’s blog, your team at Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry talks about repairing teeth with a dental crown. We can restore your teeth and safeguard your smile for years to come, with results that look natural too.
The Need for a Crown Placement
When does a tooth benefit from a crown? When a tooth needs repair, we have options that can restore it to full function, health, and beauty once again. Placement could also address cases of tooth decay too severe for a filling alone. Even if a tooth is infected, this could be the last step in a root canal to save your tooth! We could use them to help boost bite balance and improve chewing function too. They even aid in tooth replacement, as full restorations are an integral part of a bridge and could restore single tooth dental implants. If you have a damaged or aching tooth, we could offer relief and protect your smile, with lifelike results too!
Creating Custom Restorations
If you have a tooth that needs repair and are receiving a crown, this starts with the removal of outer structure. We need to make room to accommodate them. Our team will numb the tooth and gently remove outer structure. We then take digital images and impressions of the tooth, which we use to design and craft custom restorations, which are made from materials like porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or zirconia, all of which can be shaded to blend with the smile. The material can also endure daily bite forces and pressures too.
Attaching Your Dental Restoration
When the final product is ready, you can return to our office so we can make minor adjustments if needed. We then place the completed restoration with a powerful bonding agent, one that secures the restoration in place for years to come, possibly decades, with proper care and attention. You can leave our office smiling with confidence, and avoiding discomfort and other complications. If you have any questions about how we repair teeth with a dental crown, or if you have damaged teeth or ones that feel sensitive or ache, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help you smile with confidence and comfort again.
