Problems with tooth decay and physical harm can leave us with teeth that are damaged and vulnerable. If you let a problem go without the appropriate care, it can grow worse in time and create more discomfort as well as more issues for your well-being. Restorative dentistry responds by placing filling and crowns that address harm. With the right approach, this can even improve your health without altering the way you look. While a filling is the first treatment choice because it requires less preparatory work and is more conservative, a crown will provide support when a more serious issue has occurred.
A custom dental crown is crafted to completely surround a tooth above the gumline. To make sure yours fits properly and does not bother neighboring teeth, we will provide preparatory work to make room for it. We also take care to measure the tooth to determine what shape and size your restoration should be. The process takes place over two appointments. After your restoration is secured, you can feel confident in your ability to bite and chew, and you can feel at ease with your appearance, as your restoration can match the appearance of your healthy enamel.
When you keep up with regular dental checkups, you can avoid problems that require crowns. This is because your dentist can recognize when a cavity has formed before you feel discomfort. After the problem is identified, we can recommend that you have a dental filling put in place. With the regular teeth cleanings that take place during your appointments, we can also help you avoid future problems that might require our services.
Through the placement of your custom dental crown, we can see to it that your smile is preserved, and we can ensure that your tooth is safe from harm even as you continue to use it to bite and chew.
