Crowns Provide Comprehensive Restoration

When a tooth is cracked, chipped, or even worn-down or decayed, you need help to avoid discomfort and the risk of losing teeth over time. Fortunately, we can offer this with a full and lifelike dental crown! In today’s blog, your team at Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, talks about how our crowns provide comprehensive restoration, returning your tooth to full function, health, and beauty once again.

The Need for a Comprehensive Care

When you need a comprehensive restoration like a dental crown? We may recommend one for cavities too severe to be treated with a filling alone. We could also suggest one when a tooth is too chipped or broken to be repaired with boding, or if a tooth is fractured. Placement could complete a root canal if you have an infected tooth, and one could even aid in boosting bite balance and chewing function. They even aid in treating tooth loss! These are an essential part of a dental bridge, and one could restore a single tooth dental implant.

Placing A Custom Solution

How do we create and place a comprehensive restoration like a crown? We start by numbing the tooth undergoing treatment to ensure you stay comfortable as we remove outer structure in preparation. Our team then takes detailed digital images of your tooth, which we use in a lab setting to design and craft your crown.

We will likely choose materials like porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and zirconia, all of which are strong and able to be color-matched to blend with your smile! These can also endure daily bite forces with ease. When it is ready, you will return for a second visit and we will check the fit and make any final adjustments. We then attach it with a powerful bonding agent!

The Key to Long-Lasting Improvement

How do we ensure your comprehensive restoration lasts? To keep your smile strong and intact, and also shining, you need to brush and floss each day. We also suggest cutting back on the sugar in your diet and avoiding tobacco products. Try to see our team for a checkup and cleaning every six months too, so we can monitor your smile and also remove the plaque and tartar buildup that can threaten your smile.
