Dental Crowns
Teeth suffering from damage and decay need proper protection. To grow stronger and function normally, dental crowns are commonly recommended as safe and effective forms of restorative care. At More Dentistry, we deliver customized crowns with the help of digital impressions captured in-house. Once they’re sent to a local lab for fabrication, technicians will use the suggested material (i.e., gold, zirconia, or EMAX) to build restorations that fit snugly over teeth and provide maximum protection.
Many patients desire natural-looking crowns, as they blend in more seamlessly with their existing smile. Our team will do our best to keep teeth uniform; however, depending on the severity of the situation and the location of damaged or decayed teeth, we may need to suggest a more visible material for optimal results.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
When a cavity forms, the first step we will take is to provide a tooth-colored filling. After removing any existing decay from the structure, we will fill it with composite resin – a flexible material that is not only matched to your natural tooth shade but also prevents further altering for optimal placement. Instead, the resin will not expand when exposed to hot or cold temperatures, reducing the potential for tooth damage over time.
With a tooth-colored filling, you can expect that your smile will remain safeguarded against bacteria and reinfection for several years. Eventually, it will need to be replaced; however, you can take steps to reduce staining and prevent damage to keep your smile in ideal shape.
