When teeth become cracked, chipped, or worn down, or if they develop cavities or infection, then repair could be needed. To keep your smile healthy and whole, we can secure a custom dental crown. In today’s blog, Dr. Robert M. Browne talks about discreet repair with custom dental crowns in Prairie Village, KS.
Creating Custom Crowns
How do we provide a custom and discreet dental crown? To create your restoration, we first take steps to ensure you stay comfortable throughout the process. Our team will gently numb your tooth and then carefully remove a small amount of outer structure. We then take detailed digital images of the tooth from multiple angles to design and craft the restoration.
Our team will use metal-free materials that are safe for all ages, and which can be color-matched to blend with your smile. For the visible front-facing teeth, we usually opt for an all-porcelain option. Since the side and rear teeth endure greater bite forces, we tend to use porcelain-fused-to-metal or zirconia.
Placing Lifelike Dental Restorations
When your dental restoration is ready, we will check the fit to see if we need to make any minor adjustments. We then complete this and attach the finished restoration with a powerful bonding agent, one that can secure your crown for years to come! We want you to be able to eat and smile with confidence, and without hesitation.
Helping Your Smile
How does a crown help your smile? By placing one, we can address a chipped, cracked, or even broken tooth to prevent cavities and infection, and to restore smile beauty. Speaking of cavities, this can treat decay too severe for a filling, or even aid in treating infection by completing a root canal procedure. We could place them to help boost bite balance and chewing function, and they help kids and adults alike. If you have suffered from tooth loss, then one could be used to restore a single tooth dental implant, or to support a bridge, so we can replace a single tooth or as many as three in a row.
If you have any questions about how we restore your smile with a custom dental restoration, then contact our team today to learn more and start the process. We want to make big changes for your smile this summer, changes that help boost the health, beauty, and overall function of your smile for years to come.
