While dental fillings often provide enough support for cavities, there are times when more protection is needed. In these circumstances, our Virginia Beach, VA dental practice can provide superior support with dental crowns. These restorations are custom-made to provide full coverage of a tooth, and they can offer protection, bite support, and a lifelike appearance. Before committing to a cavity treatment, we will carefully evaluate your smile and work to provide lasting care with the most conservative procedure possible. We also take care to provide work that will preserve your appearance, as we can provide restorations that imitate healthy enamel.
The Importance Of Durable Dental Restorations
Restorative dentistry provides permanent solutions to the harm done by dental decay as well as physical injuries that demand more than just cosmetic treatment. When we help patients deal with cavities, we will carefully remove infected and damaged tissues before making sure that the remaining healthy structure is protected. That protection will come from either a filling or crown; while a filling is more conservative, a crown will provide the necessary protection when there are concerns about the harm decay has already done to your enamel.
Receiving Your Personalized Dental Crown
Before your crown is placed, we will take detailed measurements of the tooth being restored. With digital imaging technology, we can assess what shape and size the crown needs to be to provide the right support, avoid bothering neighboring teeth, and stay secure. In addition to this, we can perform necessary preparatory work to ensure that there is room for the restoration. Your crown is placed at the next visit; once it is secured, you can count on it to remain secure and in place for many years!
We Also Help With The Prevention Of Dental Decay
Remember that you are less likely to need restorative dental work of any kind when you combine your daily smile care routine with consistent dental exams and cleanings. During routine oral health checkups, we will closely inspect your smile for potential problems that require treatment. Your visits will also protect you thanks to the cleanings that take place. Your hygienist is able to remove tartar as well as plaque, which is important to lowering your overall risk for decay and gum disease.
