When we find a tooth that needs to receive a dental crown, we can offer a custom option that fits perfectly and looks natural too. A custom crown from your Ankeny, IA, dentist can restore your smile and offer results that look natural and provide a boost to oral health and bite function!
The Need for a Dental Crown
When do you need a dental crown? We may prescribe this custom restoration when you have a tooth with decay too severe to be treated with a filling. If you have dental infection, this could complete the root canal procedure. We could place on to address chipped, cracked, or broken teeth. Placement could also lengthen worn down teeth and improve bite balance and chewing function. We could use them to also aid in tooth replacement, supporting a dental bridge or even restoring a single tooth dental implant!
How We Create and Place Them
Each one we place will be custom-made for your smile, ensuring a lifelike appearance, balanced bite, and tooth repair with precision. To begin, we will need to numb your tooth so you are comfortable as we remove structure from the tooth and take detailed digital images and impressions. Once we do, our team will be able to use the information we materials to design and fabricate your custom crown in a lab setting. You then return to the office for placement, so we can check the fit and make any necessary adjustments. Our team will then attach the restoration with a powerful bonding agent. You now have a restoration that looks natural and can last for years to come!
The Benefits of Lifelike Ceramic
The ceramic we use to create them can be color-matched to blend with your smile, matching the rest of your smile. If this is placed on a front facing tooth, we could even whiten the surrounding teeth so it matches your brightest possible smile. The material not only looks natural, but can absorb daily bite forces and pressures with ease, so you can eat your favorite foods without worry. We use the same material in our dental bridges too!
If you have any questions about how we can restore the health, function, and appearance of your smile with the placement of a custom dental crown, or if you have a damaged tooth that needs attention, then contact our team today to get started.
