If a tooth is damaged, misshapen, or severely stained, we could help take these concerns on with cosmetic dentistry. With ceramic crowns, we can return your teeth to full function, health, and beauty. In today’s blog, your Cerritos, CA, dentist talks about restoring teeth with a ceramic crown.
The Need for Receiving a Dental Crown
When does a tooth need to have a dental crown placed? We recommend this when a tooth is chipped, cracked, or broken. This could also help a tooth that develops tooth decay too severe for a filling, or if we need to complete a root canal for an infected tooth. Placement could improve the balance of your bite and shape of the tooth, and also aid in improving chewing function. For people with missing teeth, we could create a prosthetic that uses them to support new teeth, known as a dental bridge. For patients receiving an individual dental implant, we could complete it with a custom restoration.
The Benefits of Ceramic
When we create and place a dental restoration, our team will use ceramic. The material is very strong and can handle daily bite forces and pressures with ease. Not only that, but this translucent material can be shaded to blend with your smile and offer a lifelike appearance. The same material is also used to create dental bridges and even dental implant restorations, due to the lifelike appearance and durability.
Placing Your Full Restoration
How do we restore your tooth with a dental crown? To begin, we will numb the tooth being treated to ensure your comfort as we remove structure to make room for your dental restoration. Once we do, our team will gently remove structure from the tooth and take detailed digital images of the tooth, which we will use in a dental lab setting to design and craft your finished restoration. Our team then checks the fit and if necessary, will make some final adjustments. The last step is to attach the completed one with a powerful bonding agent. You now have a restoration that blends with your smile and has the potential to last for decades to come with proper care and attention.
If you have any questions about how we improve the health, beauty, and function of a tooth with a ceramic dental crown, then contact our team today to learn more. Now is a good time to see us and use your remaining 2025 dental insurance benefits and health savings account funds before they expire at the end of this month!
