Keeping A Tooth Safe With A Lifelike Crown

Dental crowns provide important support for teeth in situations where advanced tooth decay or physical trauma seriously affect them. When it comes to cavity treatment, they provide a means of supporting your healthy tooth structure when you need more protection than a dental filling can offer. If you have a physical injury, your restoration can cover the visible damage and also help you to maintain your healthy and natural bite movement. At our Dallas, TX dentist’s office, we are prepared to provide a crown that offers both functional benefits and cosmetic value.

The Importance Of The Right Restoration

Any time you need work done to protect a tooth, we will take care to make sure you have the right restoration. The benefit to proceeding with cavity treatment that relies on a dental filling is that we can provide the support you need while minimizing changes to your tooth structure. After all, your restoration will only cover the space where your cavity formed. However, if there are concerns about the amount of damage that has been done, a filling can be less effective at offering the support that you will require in the long term. To make sure you have the lasting protection that you require, we can cap your tooth with a crown that is specially made for it.

Arranging Treatment With A Custom Crown

To properly restore your tooth, we will first take detailed measurements and provide preparatory work to make space for your restoration. At a follow-up visit, your tooth will be capped with the restoration, which can ensure you have no difficulty biting and chewing while also preserving your appearance. We use crowns made from a porcelain substance that is capable of closely imitating healthy enamel while also offering the functional strength to keep your tooth safe for many years.

Regular Checkups Help You Avoid Future Problems With Your Oral Health

Even if you can count on your crown to offer long-term protection and cosmetic benefits, you should make the prevention of problems that require one a priority. Regular dental checkups certainly help with this. At your appointments, your teeth are thoroughly cleaned of plaque and tartar, which makes you less likely to experience a cavity. In the event that decay is a problem for you, we can provide a dental filling after catching decay in its early stages.
