Do you have a damaged or broken tooth? You can strengthen your teeth and restore your complete smile with dental crowns from your Carver, MA, dentists, Dr. Phillip Bleak and Dr. Toni Waters of Carver Smiles.
What are the dental crowns?
Dental injuries, cavities, and other dental conditions can damage your smile and prevent the teeth from functioning in the right way. Dental crowns are used to strengthen the damaged tooth and complete your smile. It is a tooth-shaped cap produced especially to fit over your injured, decayed, or misshapen tooth. The dental crown can cover the whole tooth structure above the gum line. This makes dental crowns the best treatment option when the damaged tooth is missing a significant amount of its structure.
How are the dental crowns prepared?
Dental crowns in Carver, MA, can be produced from different materials. Porcelain crowns are preferred to replace the front teeth as they look like natural teeth, which makes them the most aesthetic choice. Another option is porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, which are typically used for molars.
To prepare your damaged tooth to receive the crown, your dentist will reshape it to make it able to fit inside the crown. After that, your dentist will take an impression of your smile and send it to the dental laboratory to fabricate your custom-made crown. When your crown is ready to be used, your dentist will attach it into place using dental cement.
