If you have a tooth that is cracked, chipped, or broken, or if one has a cavity or infection, then you need a dental restoration. With a crown, we have a full restoration that can cap the tooth and transform your smile for the better. In today’s blog, Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, talks about lifelike repair with custom crowns!
When Teeth Need to Be Repaired
Do you have a tooth that hurts? If so, this could indicate the presence of a cavity or possibly even an infection that needs treatment. If you sustain an injury to the face or jaw and notice your tooth is chipped or cracked, then you should see us too. The same goes for an injury, even if no damage is visible, as fractures are often invisible to the naked eye. Care is needed in all these cases to prevent major decay or infection, which can not only cause pain, which leads to issues with smile stability. To return your tooth to full function, health, and beauty, our team could offer a dental crown.
Creating and Placing Dental Crowns
If you need a full restoration, then we will gently numb your tooth so we can comfortably remove structure to accommodate it. Next, we will take images and measurements of the tooth with digital intraoral cameras, using the resulting 3D impressions to design and craft them. Our team will use materials like porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or zirconia to offer durable repair that can be shaded to bend with the smile too.
When your crown is ready, you will return to the office so we can check the fit and if needed, make some final adjustments., We then attach the completed restoration with a powerful bonding agent. You now have lifelike repair that can last for years to come!
Keeping Your Restorations Intact
To ensure they stay bright and truly last for years to come, you need to care for them as you would natural tooth structure. Be sure you brush and floss it along with the rest of your smile each day, and see our team for regular checkup and cleaning appointments. Try to avoid too much sugar in your diet, and stay clear of tobacco products too. If you have any questions about how we restore smiles with a custom and lifelike dental crown, or if you have an aching or damaged tooth in need of repair, then contact our team!
