We want to repair teeth that have been damaged or developed decay or infection, so that you avoid painful symptoms and the risk of tooth loss. We also want to ensure you can continue to smile with confidence following your treatment! Which is why your Grand Prairie, TX, dentist offers lifelike repair with our dental crowns and how we can use these to offer lifelike repair with precision and accuracy.
When You Should Receive a Dental Crown
A dental crown is a full restoration that will cap a tooth, covering all of the structure above the gum line. This could be prescribed to treat advanced tooth decay, or to possibly complete a root canal when treating an infected tooth. Placement could reshape malformed teeth and even improve bite balance and chewing function. We could use them to repair cracked, broken, or chipped teeth, or to add length to worn-down tooth structure. For some, we could even use them to aid in tooth replacement by securing a bridge in place or completing a single tooth dental implant!
Selecting a Lifelike Material
What will we make your crown from? While metal restorations are effective, we find that our non-metal options tend to be more lifelike in appearance and safe for patients of all ages. For example, we could use all-porcelain for the front-facing teeth, as this is the most lifelike option and these are the most visible teeth. The side and rear teeth tend to experience greater bite forces and pressures, so we opt for porcelain-fused-to-metal or zirconia. Both of these options are more durable and can be shaded to blend with your smile too. We want you to feel confident in your appearance following your treatment!
Placing Your New Crown
If we find that you need a dental restoration, then our team will numb the tooth being repaired and then remove structure from it to make room for your restoration. Next, we take detailed digital images of your tooth from multiple angles, and use them to design and craft the restoration from our lifelike materials. When the restoration is ready, we will check the fit and then make any necessary adjustments before we attach it with a powerful bonding agent.
