01 May Placing Crowns That Match Your Smile
Dental crowns are a substantial dental restoration that can cover your tooth and address multiple concerns at once, protecting your smile from issues that could later require tooth extraction. We take a custom approach to crown placement, so we can ensure a natural appearance! With our team of oral health experts in Lancaster, OH, we can create and place lifelike crowns for your smile!
The Need for a Custom Dental Repair
A dental crown covers the visible portion of your tooth, so we can address an array of cosmetic and restorative oral health concerns. For example, we can treat tooth decay too severe for a filling, and complete a root canal to treat an infected tooth. Placement could address dental damage and reshape malformed teeth too, offering improvement for overall bite balance and chewing function as well. Even the loss of natural teeth can be addressed with crowns, as one or two could support a bridge, while one could be used to restore a single tooth dental implant.
Fabricating and Placing Them
To begin, we will carefully examine your smile and if we find one is necessary, we will numb the tooth being treated and remove a small amount of outer structure to make room for the restoration. We then take detailed digital images and measurements of the tooth so we can plan and craft the restoration in detail. The materials we use vary, but we often opt for porcelain or zirconia, as these are durable and can be shaded to blend with your smile, offering a more natural appearance. When your restoration is ready, we will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments before we attach it with a powerful bonding agent.
Keeping Your Newly Treated Teeth Strong
Once in place, this could last for years to come and provide durable and lifelike dental repair. To keep them strong and bright, we recommend brushing and flossing them as you would natural teeth, and trying to avoid a diet high in sugar and starch. Be sure you see us every six months for a checkup and cleaning too. These actions help fight the onset of issues like infection or gum disease, so you can avoid the risk of stained or missing teeth, keeping your restoration strong and safeguarding your surrounding teeth too.
