When you have a tooth that has become chipped or cracked, or developed serious decay or an infection, you may need a crown. A custom-made dental crown addresses your tooth’s needs, improving function, health, and beauty. In today’s blog, your Allen, TX, dentist talks about how we craft and place your custom and natural-looking dental restoration.
Creating a Custom Restoration
Each one is made specifically for your smile, as this provides a quality restoration and ensures a balanced bite. To begin, we take steps to ensure you feel comfortable, including a local anesthetic or even sedation for our anxious patients. Structure is then removed from the tooth, making room for the crown placement. A series of detailed digital images will be taken of the teeth and used to design and fabricate the finished product in a lab setting. When you come back for a second visit, we make sure the crown will fit properly and then attach it with a powerful bonding agent.
Lifelike Materials
We often use materials that can be color-matched to blend with your smile. For the front teeth we could use all-porcelain, which is translucent like tooth enamel and offers the most lifelike appearance. The side and rear teeth must endure greater bite forces and pressure so we may craft the restorations from porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) or zirconia, both of which are strong and durable. But we also shade these materials to again offer a lifelike appearance! We want you to be able to eat your favorite foods again and enjoy a balanced bite, but also want to ensure you can smile with confidence!
Benefits for Cosmetic and Restorative Concerns
Since they cover the entire visible portion of each tooth, we could use them for an array of cosmetic and restorative issues. For example, we can mask permanent teeth stains, reshape malformed teeth, and also lengthen worn-down teeth. Placement could repair cracks, chips, and breakage too. We can also treat advanced decay or infection, and even address missing teeth by securing a dental bridge and restoring a single tooth dental implant. In as little as two visits, we can boost the beauty, function, and health of your smile!
If you have any questions about how we treat issues with our custom-made and lifelike crowns, or if you have a tooth that hurts or is misshapen, then contact our team today. We would love to schedule a consultation and help you obtain a more attractive and beautiful smile.
