To repair a tooth and offer improvement that looks natural too, we can employ ceramic crowns. As part of our cosmetic dental treatments, these restorations can blend with your smile. In today’s blog, your Cerritos, CA, dentist talks about our custom ceramic dental crowns, and explains when smiles may need them.
When Teeth Need a Crown
Our team could prescribe a full restoration to address tooth decay too severe for a filling, or to address infection by completing a root canal procedure. We could repair cracked and chipped teeth, and even address misshapen ones too. Crown placement can help improve bite function and chewing capabilities, and even help address cosmetic concerns. Placement could even aid in tooth replacement, as one or two could support a dental bridge, or a single one could restore an individual dental implant. When placed, a restoration could return your tooth to full function, health, and beauty once again!
Creating and Placing Ceramic Restorations
But how do we create and place your dental crown? To get started, our team will numb the tooth being treated, so you remain comfortable as we remove a small amount of outer structure to make room for the new restoration. Once we do, our team will take detailed digital impressions and images of them from multiple angles, using this information in a lab setting to design and then fabricate your custom restoration. Once this step is complete, you will return so we can check the fit and make any necessary adjustments, Finally, we attach your new one with a powerful bonding agent. With proper care and attention, your new restoration could last for years to come!
Protecting Your Smile
To keep them bright and strong, and to help safeguard other teeth as well, our team will recommend improvements to your daily oral hygiene habits. You should start and end each day by brushing and flossing, and try to cut back on the sugar in your diet. We also urge you to avoid tobacco products, and of course, make time to see a general dentist for a checkup and cleaning every few months.
If you have any questions about how our team will improve the health, function, and beauty of your smile with the placement of a new dental crown, then contact our team today. Don’t ignore your damaged or aching teeth, we can help.
