Can I Put Biting Or Chewing Pressure On A Restored Tooth?

When you find yourself in need of dental work, you should be aware that putting off whatever treatment you need may allow a problem to become worse over time. For instance, consider what might happen if you have a cavity – the longer you delay care, the more damage is done to your dental structure. Restorative dental work can involve the repair minor problems with a dental filling, or the restoration of a tooth via the placement of a dental crown. In either case, you should feel confident that your affected tooth can bite and chew comfortably. While your Allen, TX dentist’s office is proud to offer restorations that have important cosmetic benefits, you can also count on that work to offer needed functional support.

Your Restoration Is Meant To Give You Back Your Ability To Comfortably Bite And Chew

Restorative work restores more than just the look of a tooth. By addressing damage, your dentist is giving you back the ability to practice normal dental function. When you feel you have to avoid using a particular tooth, your modified biting and chewing can put problematic strain on your jaw. It can also lead to excess wear and tear on other teeth.

Modern Restorations Offer Support, And They Offer Benefits For Your Smile

Tooth-colored fillings are used by your dentist to repair relatively minor issues with your tooth structure. When placed, a filling can bond with your enamel, and blend in with the material. This means it can offer discretion, and protection. Dental crowns made of lifelike material are also available, so you will not have to worry that a crown placed on a front tooth will lead to negative smile changes.
