Dental crowns in Palm Harbor are strong, natural-looking permanent tooth restorations that cover the top of a damaged tooth. Dentists use dental crowns to solve a number of dental dilemmas.
Dental Crowns in Palm Harbor can remedy the following issues:
- A fractured tooth with decay
- A poorly-fitting existing crown
- A decayed tooth that has lost a substantial amount of tooth structure
- A tooth that has had a root canal
- A tooth that is too small or misshapen
- A tooth that interferes with a proper bite
Before your dentist can attach the crown to your tooth, we must prepare the tooth. Dentists often give you a local anesthetic so you won’t feel pain during the prepping. Your dentist will then remove decay, if any, and shape the tooth to receive the crown. Then a mold is taken of the prepped tooth and surrounding teeth.
A temporary crown is then placed on the tooth to protect it until you return to receive the permanent restoration. The patient needs to be careful while wearing the temporary crown. Vigorous brushing or flossing can displace the crown or damage the exposed soft tissue. The patient should also refrain from eating extremely hard foods like nuts or sticky candy. The mold of your teeth is sent to a dental lab where your crown is fabricated. Dental crowns in Palm Harbor are offered in three varieties: tooth-colored crowns made of resin or porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and solid metal crowns.
Each type has its advantages and disadvantages. Your dentist will choose the best-suited crown material for your particular tooth. What if you need a permanent dental restoration for both the top and root of your tooth? A dental implant is your solution.
