Are you suffering from a cracked or broken tooth? If so, a dental crown is a great way to restore your tooth’s function and appearance. A crown is a customized cap that we can place over your compromised tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. The crown surrounds and encases your tooth, providing support and protection.
A crown can also protect a decayed tooth from further deterioration, or it can be used to hold a dental bridge in place. In addition, crowns can be used to hide teeth that are misshapen or badly discolored.
The office of Dr. David Yasuda can provide you with excellent dental care in a family-friendly environment so you can feel comfortable while getting the treatment that you need. Call us today to schedule your initial consultation and see if dental crowns are right for you.
Placing Your Dental Crown
The crown procedure at Dr. Yasuda’s office is relatively simple but very effective. Once we determine that a crown is the right option for you, we will anesthetize the area surrounding the compromised tooth. When you are numb, we will shape the tooth to ensure that the crown will fit.
We will also take an impression of your tooth, to help us create a crown that is customized to you and your mouth. Next, we will send the impression to a dental lab where your unique crown is then created.
A temporary crown will be placed on your tooth to protect it while we are waiting for the permanent crown to be made. When your crown is ready, we will bring you back to the office and place it.
Benefits of Crowns
There are many perks to restorative or cosmetic dentistry and dental crowns fit into both of these categories, giving you a slew of benefits. Some of the main advantages of dental crowns are:
- Natural-looking smile: We will color-match the crown to fit with your existing teeth so that you have a seamless smile.
- Long-term durability: Crowns are known to last for many years, making them a wise and economical choice to save your tooth.
- Protection from further decay, infection, and cracking: Crowns effectively surround and shield your tooth from damage and germs.
- Improved chewing and talking: With a crown in place, you will be able to use your tooth again to its full function.
- A healthier smile: If you have been hiding your smile because of a broken or discolored tooth, a crown can hide those flaws and give you the confidence to once again show off your pearly whites.
- Improved appearance: Not only will your smile be completed and have a natural look but you will also have an increased quality of life due to the improved confidence associated with protected oral health and an enhanced appearance.
- Replacements for missing teeth: If a tooth falls out, you can get it replaced by a dental implant. After your implant placement, come to us for a beautiful crown to restore your tooth to its original look and function.
If you have a tooth that has been bothering you, either because of its appearance or because it’s lost some of its function, we do not want you to suffer any longer. Give us a call today and let’s begin a consultation to restore your tooth.
Am I a Candidate for Dental Crowns?
The only way to know for sure if you are a good candidate for dental crowns is by meeting with a dental professional to see if dental crowns are right for you. However, it is important to know some characteristics of someone who needs dental crowns so you know if it is an option for you.
Ultimately, if your tooth is severely damaged or decayed, a dental crown might be a good solution for you. Also, if you have a missing tooth or need to get a tooth extracted then you might be a candidate for dental crowns.
