Should you have a damaged tooth, one with serious decay or infection, or simply one that is misshapen, we can help with cosmetic dentistry. Dental crowns can cap your tooth and tackle multiple issues at once. In today’s blog, your Newport Beach, CA, dentist talks about improving smiles with our custom-made and lifelike ceramic crowns.
The Scenarios That Call for a Crown
We use these to cap a tooth and offer restoration that can blend with your smile and last for years to come. So, when does your smile need one? We could place one when a tooth is decayed or infected, and cannot be treated with a filling alone. Placement could repair cracked or chipped teeth and even add length to worn down teeth. We could improve bite balance and chewing function too. If you have gaps due to missing teeth, one or two could secure a bridge in place, or one could restore a single tooth dental implant.
The Benefits of Ceramic
When possible, we want to craft your custom crown from ceramic. This material is very strong and durable, and is translucent like tooth enamel. Which means we can shade it to blend with your smile seamlessly, and that it can absorb daily bite forces and pressures. Your results will look natural and you will be able to ensure a balanced bite and proper bite function as well.
Securing Your Restoration
How do we craft and place a custom ceramic crown? To get started, our team will numb the tooth we are treating so you stay comfortable as we remove structure from it. This is to make room for the new restoration. Our team then takes detailed digital images and measurements of the tooth, which are used by our team in a lab setting to design and craft your new restoration. When complete, we will check the fit and if necessary, make some final adjustments. We then attach your completed one with a powerful bonding agent. You now have a lifelike restoration with the potential to last for decades to come with proper care and attention.
