Our team wants to help repair teeth and offer a solution that looks natural and is ready to last. To do so, we can create a custom dental crown. In today’s blog, Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, talks about how we place a custom and lifelike dental crown!
The Situations That Call for a Dental Restoration
When does a tooth need to be capped with a dental crown? The dental restoration will cap the tooth, covering the structure above the gum line and offering major improvement for your smile. Our team could use one when a tooth is too cracked, chipped, or decayed for a filling. Likewise, this could address worn down or misshapen teeth, even boosting overall bite balance and chewing function too. Our custom dental crowns can be placed to restore your smile and offer better function, health, and beauty!
The Lifelike Materials We Use
What materials we will use to create them? For the front-facing options, we often opt for the most lifelike material available: porcelain. This can be shaded to blend with the smile and is translucent like natural enamel. The side and rear teeth will endure greater bite forces and pressure on a daily basis, so we may opt for more substantial materials like porcelain-fused-to-metal or zirconia. Again, these can be color-matched for a more natural appearance! We want you to feel confident when you smile, while also enjoy better oral health and improved bite function, with results ready to last for years to come.
Placement
Our team will numb your tooth and then gently remove structure to accommodate your new restoration. Once we do, we will take images and impressions of the prepped tooth, which we will use in a lab setting to design and craft it from lifelike materials. When your new restoration is ready, we will check the fit and if necessary, we will make final adjustments. The last step is to attach the completed restoration to the tooth with a powerful bonding agent. You will leave with a durable, lifelike, and long-lasting dental restoration!
