Through the appropriate restorative treatment, we can make sure that decay does not progress further, and that your tooth has the support it needs. Dental fillings and dental crowns provide different forms of support. While fillings cover the space where your cavity formed, dental crowns deal with more significant damage by covering the tooth. By surrounding it with a custom-made restoration, we can keep a badly hurt tooth protected and ensure that you maintain the bite support needed to preserve your natural dental function.
Dental crowns need to be carefully designed so that they fit securely, avoid creating problems for neighboring teeth, and effectively support both your smile and bite function. By taking careful measurements of your tooth before treatment, we can make sure that your restoration is the shape and size it needs to be to provide long-term value. To make sure it preserves your smile, we can use materials such as porcelain or zirconia in order to imitate the appearance of healthy dental enamel.
Remember that your regular dental exams and cleanings will help you avoid the kinds of oral health issues that make restorative dental work necessary. By removing plaque and tartar from your smile during your regular cleanings, your hygienist will help to protect you against dental decay as well as gum disease. Reviews from your dentist can result in the discovery and treatment of decay before a crown is needed.
Through the placement of a lifelike dental crown, we can take care of your smile and also preserve your dental health and function. While it is reassuring to know that you have access to different services when problems arise, make sure that you also take advantage of preventive services so that you can avoid trouble with your oral health in the future.
