When your tooth is decayed or injured and needs more than just a dental filling, then our team could provide a crown. Our custom dental restorations will be designed specifically for your smile, to offer improved function and beauty. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about helping smiles with our custom dental crowns!
When a Tooth Needs to Receive a Crown
Since a dental crown caps a tooth and covers the entire visible portion of it, we can use one to address a number of concerns. Our team can repair a cracked or chipped tooth, or even address more severe breakage. Placement could also address misshapen teeth or treat tooth decay too severe for a filling. We could also take on infection by completing a root canal with one. Placement may improve bite function and balance too. If you have missing teeth we could help with a restoration too. For example, our team could use one or two to support a dental bridge, or we restore a single tooth dental implant.
The Process of Creating Your Custom Restoration
Each one we provide will be custom-made for your smile. To start the process, we will numb the tooth so you stay comfortable as we remove structure from it to make room for your restoration. Our team then takes detailed digital images and measurements of the tooth from multiple angles, which we use in a dental lab setting to design and craft the final product. When possible, we use materials like all-porcelain, which is the most lifelike option available and used primarily for the front facing teeth. Since the side and rear teeth endure greater bite forces, our team could employ porcelain-fused-to-metal or zirconia, which are more durable but again, we can shade them to blend with your smile.
Placing Your Completed Crown
When your new dental crown is ready, our team will have you return to the office so that we can check the fit and make any necessary adjustments. We then attach it with a powerful bonding agent. With proper care and attention, your new restoration could stay in place for years to come!
