When your tooth sustains an injury or begins to ache due to factors like decay or infection, then you need treatment. To restore teeth to full function, health, and beauty again, we can offer crowns. In today’s blog, Dreem Dentistry in Leawood, KS, talks about helping smiles with our full and partial crowns!
The Risks of Damaged and Decayed Teeth
You need to see us for care when you sustain an injury that damages a tooth, as even a minor chip or crack could lead to decay and infection, threatening the health and stability of your tooth. Likewise, when a tooth starts to hurt, this could be due to a cavity or infection, and you need help to get the pain under control and avoid the risk of losing the tooth. Our team can take on issues too severe for a filling or bonding procedure with our full and partial dental crowns.
Our Full and Partial Crowns
If you have an issue too severe for a filling, but not advanced enough that a full restoration is needed, then our team could create a partial crown. These are made from durable materials like ceramic and shaded to blend with your smile. The inlay fits in between the cusps on top of the teeth, while the onlay fits over the cusps.
If you have more severe concerns and need a complete restoration, one that covers the entire structure above the gum line, we will gently remove structure to accommodate the restoration and take images to design and craft one. The completed option, also made from durable and lifelike materials, such as ceramic and zirconia, is then attached to the tooth.
Restoring Your Teeth
Once we apply your new restoration to your tooth, you should take time to brush and floss daily, cut back on the sugar in your diet, and attend routine checkup and cleaning visits with our team. These actions can protect your new restorations and also safeguard your natural teeth too. You can also avoid issues like tooth decay and gum disease! If you play sports this summer, we can talk about a custom mouthguard to better protect your teeth from injury.
