When you need a restoration, we want to not only improve the function and health of your teeth, but also the overall beauty too. To do so, we create and place a custom-made dental crown. In today’s blog, your Allen, TX, dentist talks about our lifelike dental crowns, and how we use them to address cosmetic and restorative issues.
Crafting a Restoration
Each one will be custom-made for your smile. Taking a custom approach means a comfortable fit that protects your bite balance, as well as a more natural appearance that blends with your smile. To begin, we will administer a local anesthetic and then gently remove structure from the tooth. We next take detailed images and impressions of the smile. We use the information we gather to create a detailed 3D model, one we will use in a lab setting to design and craft the prosthetic. When the restoration is ready, we will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments. Finally, we place it with a powerful bonding agent, ensuring it can stay in place for many years to come.
Zirconia and Porcelain
For the front facing and most visible teeth, we could use porcelain. This material is translucent like tooth enamel, and can be shaded to blend with the smile. Porcelain offers the most lifelike option, which is why we also use it for veneers and some prosthetics. For the side and rear teeth, which must endure greater levels of bite forces, we can employ zirconia. Again, this material can be shaded to match the smile but it is also designed to offer the same strength as a metal crown. We will help choose the option that fits you best!
Benefits for Your Smile
We could place a dental crown to repair decay too severe for a filling, or to complete a root canal procedure for people with an infected tooth. We can lengthen teeth worn down by teeth grinding, and also reshape malformed ones as well. Repair for cracked or chipped teeth is possible too. If you have a missing tooth, we can use them to secure a dental bridge into place, or to restore a single tooth dental implant. We’re ready to help restore the health, beauty, and function of your smile, so you can enjoy better oral health once again.
