If a procedure is provided in time, a problem with your tooth is often treatable with a dental filling. A custom filling is the more conservative treatment option available to you, as it only covers the space where a problem occurred. A dental crown provides greater coverage. When in position, it will completely cover your tooth above your gum line. We can take care to design it so that it fits securely and looks natural, which means you will not have to worry about problems with it, or with neighboring teeth.
Through the use of digital x-ray technology, we can closely evaluate and measure your tooth. With the information that we gather, we can determine what shape and size your crown needs to be in order to look its best and provide the right structural support. Once it is designed, you can return to have your restoration put in place. Once in position, it can offer lasting support for your bite function while it protects your vulnerable tooth.
When tooth decay is identified and addressed in time, you can have a more conservative filling placed instead of a crown. If you want to reduce your risk for problems that might make more advanced treatment necessary, keep up with your regular dental exams. At these appointments, you receive timely updates about your well-being and learn about any problems that might require care.
Through treatment with a lifelike dental crown, we can make sure your vulnerable tooth is fully restored and protected. These restorations are carefully made to ensure not only that they fit properly, but that they provide the right cosmetic benefits. We are happy to provide this and other services that can benefit your smile.
