One of the best restoration techniques for a misshaped tooth or one that has deep decay is a dental crown. Porcelain crowns can cover the affected tooth from the tip to above the gum line and they look just like your natural teeth. Dr. Michael Vanover is a dentist at Vanover Dentistry in Orange Park, FL. One of his specialties is dental crowns.
Dental Crowns Boost Your Smile Factor
In spite of preventive dental services, over time, several things can happen to negatively impact your teeth. For example, trauma to a tooth from an injury, multiple fillings, or chipped teeth. If the tooth enamel above your gum line has been compromised, a dental crown can strengthen your tooth and brighten your smile.
Why Wait for Your Crowns?
Orange Park residents who get their dental crowns from Dr. Vanover can have their tooth replaced in a single visit. Dr. Vanover will perform an oral exam and take some X-rays just to be sure that a dental crown will work for you. Your tooth will then be numbed and shaped to receive the crown. A digital scan impression of your tooth will be made. Your dentist will then create the crown and attach it to your tooth with cement. Usually, the finished crown can be designed, fabricated, and customized right in the office and be ready in 45 minutes to be permanently cemented in your mouth. No temporary crown, no goopy impression, no multiple appointments with repeated numbing injections, no waiting weeks for the permanent crown to be completed, these are all the advantages of our same-day crown technology.
Although dental crowns are small devices, they are extremely durable. They are typically made from porcelain because this makes it easier to match the color of your natural teeth. However, other materials are available. For example, if you need a crown to cover one of your back teeth, you may prefer a more durable metal crown, such as one that is made from gold.
