When you develop oral health concerns that need more than a dental filling or a cosmetic bonding procedure, then we could help with a dental crown, or even a partial restoration known as an inlay or onlay. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about custom crowns.
Inlays and Onlays
Partial options can address damage too severe for a filling, but to major enough to require a full one. With an inlay, the custom restoration will fit in between the cusps on top of the tooth. The onlay will fit over the cusps on top of the tooth. Both will be made from ceramic, a durable material that can handle daily bite forces and also be shaded to blend with your tooth, leaving a natural appearance.
Dental Crowns
A full dental crown will fit over the entire visible portion of your tooth. Made from ceramic or possibly zirconia, this will be shaded for a natural appearance and will help restore the tooth and last for years to come. Our team could use them to address severe decay, or to complete a root canal if you have an infected tooth. Placement could address misshapen teeth too. We could even place them to improve bite function and balance, and to address missing teeth. One or two could keep a bridge in place, and one could restore a single tooth dental implant.
Placement
Whether you need an inlay, onlay, or a full crown, your restoration will be custom-made. To begin, we will numb the tooth we will treat and then remove structure to make room for the restoration. We then take detailed images and impressions of the tooth, which we use in a lab setting to design and craft your custom restoration. When your crown, inlay, or onlay is ready, we will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments, we then attach it with a powerful bonding agent. With good oral hygiene habits, your new restoration could stay in place and remain bright for years to come.
