If you have a tooth in need of restoration, such as one that is cracked, chipped, or even has a cavity or infection, then you need to see us. With a custom full or partial dental crown, we can restore your smile with lifelike results. In today’s blog, Dreem Dentistry in Leawood, KS, talks about our custom dental crowns!
When You Need a Restoration
A crown can treat an issue too severe to be addressed with a dental bonding or dental filling procedure. Remember, when a tooth develops decay or is damaged, restoration is needed to avoid infection and the risk of tooth loss. You also enjoy relief from discomfort! We may suggest a restoration when a tooth is damaged, as we mentioned above, or when one has a cavity too advanced for a filling to address. We could also place a restoration to improve your bite’s balance and prevent issues like TMJ discomfort and bruxism (tooth grinding), or to boost chewing function. They can even aid in replacing missing teeth, a full one supports bridges and even restore dental implants.
Inlays and Onlays
We have both full and partial crowns. A partial is great for cases that are too advanced for a filling or bonding procedure, but not severe enough that you need to remove so much structure to accommodate a full one. Made from ceramic, these will be custom-shaded to look natural, and custom-made to ensure they fit comfortably and protect your smile from imbalance and resulting complications. The inlay portion is designed to fit within the cusps on top of the tooth, while the onlay fits over these teeth.
Dental Crowns
If you need a full dental crown, then we will numb your tooth so we can gently remove enough structure to consider it, and then we will take detailed images and impressions, which we use in a lab setting to design and create your custom one from durable and lifelike materials, such as ceramic, porcelain-turned-to-metal, or even zirconia. When the restoration is ready, you will return to the office and we will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments before we attach it with a powerful bonding agent. Once in place, this could restore your tooth for many years to come!
