For a restoration that looks natural, our team can recommend cosmetic dentistry. With a cosmetic approach, we can create and place lifelike dental crowns. In today’s blog, Balboa Dental Surgery in Newport Beach, CA, talks about our cosmetic ceramic dental crowns.
When Teeth Benefit from Custom Crowns
When do we need to cap a tooth with a dental crown? This will cover the entire visible portion of your tooth, so we can take on minor and severe issues that could threaten smile stability. For example, we can treat tooth decay too severe for a filling, or complete a root canal to address an infection. We can repair cracked and chipped teeth, and improve bite balance and even chewing function for some. For people with missing teeth, these could be used to secure new teeth in the form of a bridge, or to restore a single tooth dental implant!
The Use of Ceramic
For a lifelike appearance and durable chewing surface, we will craft your crown from ceramic. The material is metal-free and safe for all ages, and can be color matched to blend with your smile too. The material can also handle daily bite forces and pressures, as we often use them to create bridges and dental implant restorations too. The material bonds with the tooth and doesn’t expand or contract like metal restorations do, so you have a more dependable and longer-lasting solution to your injuries or tooth decay. We want to ensure you can smile with confidence, and we do so by shading this material to ensure it properly blends with your smile!
Placing Your Cosmetic Restoration
How do we create and place your cosmetic dental restoration? To begin, we need to remove structure to accommodate them, so we will numb the tooth to ensure your comfort as we do. Next, we will take images and impressions of the tooth with digital technology, using these to design and craft them from ceramic. When the restoration is complete, we will check the fit to ensure it fits accurately and your bite is properly balanced, we then attach it with a powerful bonding agent, which secures it for years to come. To keep your new ceramic crown bright and strong, be sure you brush and floss daily, and attend regular checkup and cleaning visits too.
