Cosmetic dentistry provides restorative treatment that looks natural and keeps smiles healthy and intact. We’re proud to restore teeth with our realistic and durable ceramic crowns. In today’s blog, your Newport Beach, CA, dentist talks about the realistic repair that is possible with ceramic crowns.
When Teeth Benefit from Repair
When does our team need to create and place a dental crown for your tooth? We may recommend a full restoration for your tooth when it becomes cracked, chipped, or broken. This helps prevent the onset of tooth decay and infection. Speaking of, we could place a restoration to address decay too severe for a filling, or to complete a root canal should you have an infected tooth. Placement could address misshapen teeth, improve bite balance, and even boost chewing function for some patients. They also aid in tooth replacement, as we use them to support dental bridges and restore single tooth dental implants.
How We Create and Place Ceramic Crowns
To ensure our dental restorations look natural, we create them from ceramic. This material can be shaded to look natural and blend with the smile. In addition, ceramic can endure daily bite forces with ease, so you can enjoy your favorite foods without hesitation. To begin, we will numb the tooth that we are treating to keep you comfortable as we remove outer structure from it. We then gather detailed images and measurements of the tooth, which we use in a dental lab setting to design and craft the restoration.
When your dental restoration is complete, you will return to the office so we can check the fit and make any necessary changes to ensure a proper fit. We then secure your new ceramic restoration with a powerful bonding agent, one that can secure your restoration for years to come.
Keeping Your Smile Bright
You can take steps to ensure your ceramic crown stays strong and bright for years to come. Be sure you brush and floss your restored teeth as you would natural ones. Try to limit the amount of sugar in your diet and avoid tobacco products. These actions not only limit the risk of teeth stains, but they also lower the chances of developing tooth decay and gum disease, so your smile remains bright and whole.
