A dental crown can look natural and blend with your smile, and also address serious restorative concerns to prevent issues like tooth decay and infection. But when do we recommend one, and how do we craft and place a custom restoration? In today’s blog, your team at Riverside Dental Group talks about securing a crown that looks natural.
The Reasons a Tooth Needs a Full Crown
When do you need to receive a full dental crown? The restoration will cap the tooth and cover the structure above the gum line, which enables us to address minor and severe restorative issues, and to do so with a cosmetic appearance, bleeding with your smile. We could recommend one when tooth decay is too severe for a filling. If you have a tooth worn down by bruxism, we could repair it, and likewise, this could help cracked, chipped, or broken teeth. Placement could also help improve bite balance and chewing function, and we could even use them to support a bridge or even restore a single tooth dental implant!
The Lifelike Materials Used in Our Restorations
We want your new restoration to look natural and also offer a durable chewing surface, one that can truly last. For the front-facing teeth, we could offer a restoration made from all-porcelain, which we shade to blend with the smile. This is the most lifelike option available. But what about the side and rear teeth? These tend to endure greater bite forces and pressures, and need a more durable reaper. We could recommend options like porcelain-fused-to-metal or even zirconia, which are very strong but can also be shaded for a more natural appearance.
Keeping Your Smile Strong
To help your crown stay bright and last, and to protect your natural tooth structures at the same time, be sure you brush and floss daily, avoid tobacco products, and take time to see us for a checkup and cleaning every six months. A visit now means you could see us and use your remaining 2026 dental insurance benefits and health savings account funds before they expire at the end of the year. If you have any questions about our natural-looking crowns, then contact our team today.
