If you have a tooth that has become cracked or chipped, or if one aches due to a cavity, then you need a restoration. A full restoration, known as a dental crown, can help restore your smile with lifelike results! In today’s blog, you Brighton, MA, dentist talks about our custom dental crowns.
The Need for Receiving a Full Restoration
A dental crown is a full restoration that caps the tooth and provides major improvement for your smile. For example, we can place one to repair a cracked or chipped tooth, or even repair one with major breakage. Placement could also address tooth decay too severe for a filling, or even complicate a root canal should you have an infected tooth. Placement has been known to improve bite balance and chewing function for kids and adults. Our team could even use them to aid in treating tooth loss, as they could secure a bridge in place or complete a single tooth dental implant!
The Lifelike Materials We Use
We want your crown to look natural and help you feel confident in your smile. Instead of traditional metal options, we can offer more lifelike materials. For the teeth at the front of your smile, we could use all-porcelain, which is the most lifelike option available. The side and rear of your mouth endure greater bite forces, so we may use more substantial materials. With porcelain-fused-to-metal and zirconia, we have options that are shaded to look natural but can handle more severe pressures. You should feel great about your smile, and also enjoy improved bite function and oral health, and we want to help with custom restorations!
Attaching Your Dental Crown
The process involves our team numbing the tooth being treated so you stay comfortable as we remove structure to make room for your restoration. After this step, we will take images with an intraoral camera, which we use to design a 3D model. With this model, we can design and craft your new restoration, and then secure it with a powerful bonding agent. You then have results that look natural and last for years to come!
If you have any questions about how we restore your smile with a custom-made crown, or if you have a damaged or aching tooth that needs attention, then reach out to our team today. There is still time to see us and use your remaining dental benefits and health savings account funds before they expire at the end of the month!
