Until it has the permanent support of a dental restoration, a flawed tooth can remain unsightly, continue to interfere with your bite function, and make you nervous about your oral health. There are different situations where a dental crown will be needed to help with these problems. At our Virginia Beach, VA dental practice, we can examine a tooth that is in poor shape to determine how it should be treated. In the event that you do need a crown, we can provide one that supports your dental function and health while also preserving your smile!
A Crown Can Keep Your Tooth Safe And Healthy
Through treatment with a custom dental crown, we can make sure that your tooth is safe and secure, so you will not have to wonder how safe it is to apply pressure to it when you bite and chew. There are different material types that provide restorations capable of offering these functional benefits. We should note that if you need restorative dental work on a tooth that is more visible when you smile and speak, we can recommend that you have one made to imitate your healthy enamel. By doing so, we can preserve your appearance as well as your ability to bite and chew!
Planning Treatment With A Custom Restoration
Dental crowns are used to restore teeth that are left vulnerable by dental decay, as well as when you have teeth that are negatively impacted by a physical injury. In some cases, we can recommend their use when naturally occurring problems with tooth shape and size hurt your appearance as well as your bite function.
Once we determine that you will need a crown, you and your dentist will arrange treatment over the course of two appointments. During your first appointment, your tooth is measured, and preparatory work takes place to ensure that your restoration will fit. At your second visit, we will take care to place your crown after we confirm that it is the shape and size it needs to be to provide long-term support and comfort.
Avoiding Dental Problems With Consistent Smile Care
You can lower your risk for problems with tooth decay, and advanced decay in particular, when you keep up with regular dental appointments. Visits that include the evaluation and cleaning of your teeth will help you avoid trouble with cavities and problems with your periodontal health. In the event that something is wrong, we can identify the trouble and make sure that you have the right support before there are complications.
