We want to repair teeth and protect smiles from discomfort and tooth loss. To do so, we can offer a custom and lifelike dental crown! In today’s blog, your team at Allen and Neumann Family Dentistry talks about how we help smiles in Pella, IA, with a dental crown!
The Need for a Dental Crown
When does a tooth benefit from a dental crown? A restoration can be used to take on injuries, such as cracked, chipped, or even broken teeth. We could also treat tooth decay too severe for a filling, or even complete a root canal for a patient receiving treatment for an infected tooth. We could use them to help boost bite balance and improve chewing function. When people suffer from tooth loss, these act as an essential part of a dental bridge, and one could restore a single tooth dental implant too!
Placing a Custom Restoration
How do we place a dental crown? To begin, we will take time to numb your tooth so you avoid discomfort as we remove structure to make room for your restoration. We then obtain clear images and impressions of the tooth with digital technology, using these in the design and fabrication process. Your finished option will be made from durable and lifelike materials, such as all-porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or zirconia.
We then attach the finished one to the tooth with a powerful bonding agent. With the right care, you can help ensure your new restoration stays bright and has the chance to last for years to come, protecting your smile’s balance, health, and function, and also offering a lifelike appearance too.
Protecting Your Smile
To help your restoration last, and also protect your natural teeth, we suggest taking time to brush and floss daily, using a fluoride toothpaste when you do. Limiting how much sugar and starch are in your diet can be helpful too, as can wearing a mouthguard when you play sports. Be sure you see our team for a checkup and cleaning visit every six months too. We want to help your restoration shine, and your natural tooth structures to do the same.
If you have any questions about how we design, craft, and place a custom-made dental crown, or if you have an aching or damaged tooth in need of help, then contact our team today to learn more and get started on your path to optimal oral health! We are ready to see you and your whole family, so reach out soon.
