For a natural-looking restoration, we can offer dental crowns. These cap your teeth and help restore them to optimal health, function, and beauty once again. In today’s blog, your team at Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, talks about how our crowns provide natural-looking restoration for smiles of all ages.
The Injuries to Your Teeth
When does your smile need a natural-looking restoration like a crown? This covers the entire structure above the gum line, and could be essential for lifelike and long-lasting dental improvement. If you have a chipped or cracked tooth, this can repair it to prevent decay and infection, so you avoid discomfort and the risk of losing a tooth. We could also offer one to help repair teeth with cavities, or to even tackle an infection by completing a root canal procedure. We can even boost bite balance and chewing function too.
Creating a Dental Crown
How do we create a natural-looking dental crown? To begin, we will examine your smile to see if this is the best choice for you. If so, we will numb the tooth with a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable as we remove structure to accommodate the new restoration. Our team will gather images and impressions of the tooth with digital technology, and use this in a dental lab setting to design and craft a custom repair. For the front-facing teeth, we will use an all-porcelain material that looks natural and is shaded to blend with your teeth. For the side and rear ones, we will use porcelain-fused-to-metal or zirconia, which are more durable, but also lifelike in appearance.
Placement
When your dental restoration is ready, you will return to the office for placement. We will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments to it. We then attach the completed one with a powerful bonding agent, the same we use to keep dental bridges in place. Your restoration can now stay secure and bright for years to come, protecting the health, function, and beauty of your smile during this time. To keep it bright and in place, be sure you brush and floss daily, see our team for checkups and cleanings, and also avoid too much sugar. Steer clear of tobacco products too!
