Do you need a dental crown? If you have a tooth that aches, or one that has been worn down by bruxism or damaged, then you need a restoration. With a full restoration, your team at Stubbs Family Dentistry in West Allis, WI, can help restore smiles to optimal function, health, and beauty again.
When Smiles Need a Dental Crown
When should you consider a dental restoration from our team? When a tooth hurts due to a severe case of tooth decay, then a crown may be more appropriate than a dental filling. If a tooth is cracked or broken, then a full restoration could offer repair that a bonding procedure alone could not. We could also use one to help remove overall bite balance and chewing function in some cases, and to help address missing teeth, such as securing a bridge in place or restoring a single tooth dental implant.
How We Create and Place Them
Each one we provide a patient will be custom-made to ensure a proper fit, a balanced bite, and of course, a lifelike appearance. Instead of metal materials, we will opt for options like all-porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and zirconia, all of which can be shaded to blend with your smile seamlessly.
We will numb the tooth to ensure you stay comfortable as we remove structure to make room for your new restoration. We then take images and impressions of the prepped tooth, and use this in a lab setting to design and craft them. When it is complete, we will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments. When the crown is ready, we will attach it with a powerful bonding agent, so it can stay in place for years to come!
Managing Your New Smile
You can take actions to keep your crown bright and in place, and at the same time, protect the surrounding teeth as well. For example, be sure you brush and floss your teeth daily, and try to limit how much sugar and starch are in your diet. We also urge you to see our team for a routine checkup and cleaning every six months, so we can monitor your restoration and your natural teeth. If you have any questions about how we help restore your smile with custom and lifelike crowns, or if you have a damaged or aching tooth in need of attention, then contact our team today to learn more and get started. We are ready to restore your smile and help you feel confident gain!
