A dental crown can be placed for a variety of reasons, from rebuilding a cracked tooth to protecting a tooth that has recently received root canal treatment. Depending on the material used, a crown can often be personalized to blend in with the rest of your smile; that way, you don’t have to worry about your restoration drawing attention for the wrong reasons. At our dental office, we’re proud to offer porcelain fused to metal crowns, EMAX crowns, and zirconia crowns. We’ll explain the benefits of each option and help you pick the material that’s right for you.
Fillings can help stop tooth decay from spreading any further. However, a filling made out of metal amalgam comes with obvious aesthetic drawbacks. Thus, our practice prefers to place tooth-colored fillings made out of composite resin. This material can be shaded and sculpted to look like a natural part of your tooth. On top of that, it is also biocompatible and is often an excellent alternative for patients who are allergic or sensitive to metal restorations.
Instead of having to schedule multiple appointments to get a dental crown placed, wouldn’t you rather be able to have your tooth restored right away? At our practice, we can use a 3D printer and SprintRay crown resin to create reliable restorations in just one visit. Not only is the procedure fast and seamless, but the crown will be carefully designed to fit perfectly on the tooth, and it will be customized to look and feel as natural as possible.
When only one tooth is damaged, a single crown or filling is all that’s needed to get your oral health back on track. However, if most or all of your teeth need repair, we may need to start planning a full mouth reconstruction process. This involves combining several restorative dentistry treatments to meet your specific needs. Our team will be there for you during every step of the process and will make sure you’re aware of the costs associated with each procedure.
