Dental Crowns
Your teeth may become weak or damaged over the years. They might lose their shape or size due to dental decay, injury, or use. Dental crowns are a wonderful option to explore with the help of your dentist if you need to repair your teeth and boost their overall functionality. Dental crowns are a versatile solution as they can address a number of problems, strengthen your teeth, and protect them from additional deterioration. As a result, this option can also help reduce the need for more serious procedures such as extractions or root canals.
How are Crowns Placed?
During your initial session with our dentist, digital scans of your teeth will be taken, which are used to design and fabricate your permanent crown. Impressions will also be taken to create a temporary crown, which protects your tooth while your permanent crown is made at a dental laboratory, usually within one day to one week.
Crown Maintenance
It's simple to take care of your new smile! You should continue to exercise proper hygiene habits between visits, such as brushing twice a day and flossing daily. Hard foods should be avoided, especially if you have porcelain crowns, to prevent the risk of breakage.
Do you grind your teeth or clench your teeth at night? A night guard may be an effective approach to safeguarding your new crown and the teeth around it. A well-cared-for crown can last between five and fifteen years.
Your Oral Health is Our Priority
Ultimately, crowns are a highly successful and extremely safe method of preventing further decay and correcting both the aesthetic and function of your teeth. However, it is always crucial to speak with a dentist to determine if this indeed the best option for you. Furthermore, if you’re in pain or have had an accident with your mouth following your treatment, contact a dentist then as well. Allowing problems to fester can necessitate the need for more intensive treatment.
