Dental injuries and cavities create serious problems for our teeth. While our enamel is a remarkably strong substance, it is limited in what it can do to recover from harm. A problem that is serious enough to require restorative dentistry will leave you with permanent harm. Fortunately, with the right procedure, you can be free from concern over how this might impact you in the long term. Our Riverside, CA dentist’s office can provide care with both partial and full dental crowns that support teeth without affecting how you look. Once placed, your crown can ensure that you have no problems showing off your smile, and it can also help you feel confident in your ability to bite and chew.

Why Teeth That Undergo Restorative Treatment Require Long-Term Protection

If you suffer a cavity or dental injury, there will be permanent harm to your tooth structure that has to be treated. Sometimes, more conservative solutions are effective. A smaller cavity can be treated with a dental filling, and some less severe forms of trauma can be addressed through cosmetic dental work. However, in cases where more support is needed, your dentist will need to respond by providing a full or partial dental crown. Partial crowns offer a kind of middle ground between fillings and crowns, as they offer protection that a filling cannot, but they do not completely surround a tooth. With a full crown, the tooth is surrounded, but the added support ensures that you can fully recover from a serious threat.

Placing A Dental Crown To Preserve Your Smile And Bite Function

A custom dental crown is placed after your tooth is closely measured and prepared for treatment. Because the crown needs to surround the tooth and still fit comfortably, some preparatory work will take place that addresses excess enamel. By providing that work and taking the measurements needed to create a custom restoration, we can prepare you for a successful treatment once your crown is ready. It will be permanently affixed in position to help support your bite function and overall appearance.
