When you have teeth that have been worn-down, broken, or decayed or infected, then you need help. We can provide this, and ensure your results look natural too! In today’s blog, your team at Cerritos Dental Surgery in Cerritos, CA, talks about restoring smiles with our cosmetic ceramic crowns.
The Need for Custom Restoration
When do you need to restore your teeth with a ceramic crown? This is a complete restoration that caps the tooth, allowing us to take on an array of restorative concerns, all with a cosmetic approach. For example, we can repair cracks, chips, and even major breakage in a tooth. Our team can also lengthen worn-down teeth and address misshapen structures for better esthetics and bite balance. Our team could even use them to restore a single tooth dental implant, offering a solution to tooth loss! But do we create them, and how do we ensure they look natural?
Creating Your Ceramic Crown
The ceramic material we use can handle daily bite forces and pressures with ease, so you have a dependable chewing surface and can enjoy your favorite foods again. The restoration can also be shaded to blend with your smile and look natural! To create one, we will numb the tooth being treated and then gently remove a layer of outer structure to accommodate the new restoration. Next, our team will take images and impressions of your teeth to design this from ceramic, ensuring a proper fit and a balanced bite. When this is complete, you can return to our office for placement!
Placement and Maintenance
How do we place your dental crown? Our team will first check the fit to make sure the crown is properly balanced, and make any necessary adjustments. Next, we will attach the restoration with a powerful bonding agent, which can support the new restoration for years to come, so you can smile with confidence and enjoy your favorite dishes again. To ensure this stays bright and in place, and to safeguard your other teeth too, we suggest taking time to brush and floss daily, cutting back on the sugar and starch in your diet, and avoiding tobacco products. Be sure you see your general dentist for a routine checkup and cleaning visit too, as these six-month appointments are crucial to long-lasting restoration and healthy teeth.
