If you have a tooth that is cracked or chipped, or if one aches due to decay or infection, then you may need restorative treatment. A dental crown is a full restoration that can improve the function and appearance of your smile. In today’s blog, your Mansfield, TX, dentist talks about restoring smiles with our custom crowns, so you can smile without hesitation and enjoy better oral health.
Situations That Call for a Crown
When does a tooth need to receive a restoration? We could recommend a full restoration should a tooth become cracked, chipped, or broken. Treatment then prevents the onset of painful cavities and infections. Likewise, we could use a restoration to treat cavities too severe for a filling, or to complete a root canal for an infected tooth. The restoration could also address misshapen teeth and improve bite balance and chewing function. If you have missing teeth, then one or two could secure a bridge in place, and one could restore a single-tooth dental implant.
How We Design and Craft Your Restoration
To ensure optimal improvement, a comfortable fit, and a balanced bite, each one we will place will be custom-made. To begin, our team will numb the tooth so you are comfortable as we remove structure to make room for your crown. Next, our team will take detailed digital images and measurements of the prepared tooth, which are used in a lab setting to design and craft the finished one. When the crown is complete, you return for placement. When possible, we use materials like all-porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or zirconia, as these can be shaded to blend with your smile.
Securing Them
When you return for the second visit, our team will check the fit and then make some final adjustments. The completed one is then attached with a powerful bonding agent, one that can ensure your new restoration for years to come. With proper oral hygiene habits, such as daily brushing and flossing and routine visits for checkups and cleanings, you can keep your crown strong and bright.
