COSMETIC ALL CERAMIC IPS E-MAX™ CROWN

Crowns are used in restorative dentistry for damaged teeth due to fracture or decay. After the tooth surface is cleaned and prepared the crown is placed to cover the remainder of the tooth. The crown strengthens the tooth structure and helps prevent future decay. Crowns also improve the tooth’s look, shape, and alignment.

CROWNS ARE USED TO:

  • Restore a fractured tooth
  • Restore a tooth severely damaged by decay
  • Protect a tooth from fracture
  • Cover a discolored or unattractive tooth
  • Cover a dental implant
  • Anchor a bridge

ROOT CANAL THERAPY WITH BIOCERAMIC TECHNOLOGY

A root canal becomes needed when tooth decay is so badly neglected it reaches the tooth pulp. Once the pulp is infected it cannot heal on its own. Sometimes tooth trauma such as a fracture can lead to the need for a root canal as well. In addition to being painful, untreated infections can reach the root tip and compromise the entire immune system.

SYMPTOMS OF PULP INFECTIONS MAY BE:

  • Sensitivity to hot/cold
  • Sensitivity to sweets
  • Pain, especially when biting
  • Swelling
  • Bad taste in the mouth

A root canal procedure includes cleaning out the infected pulp, disinfecting the canals, and filling the void with a rubber-like substance to prevent further infection. Sometimes a crown is recommended to restore the tooth’s shape and look and to strengthen the tooth structure.

WHAT DOES RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY DO?

Restorative dentistry repairs or replaces broken or missing teeth. There are many ways teeth can get damaged, from tooth decay to fracture or total tooth loss. One of the most common ways to fix a broken tooth is through fillings that are made from composite resin, gold, or silver amalgam. When the decay or fracture is too large and a filling will not work, crowns can be used to cap the tooth to increase its solidity. Crowns can also be used to hold a bridge in place, which are false teeth made to bridge gaps between natural and missing teeth. Other tooth replacement options include dentures, which not only replace missing teeth but also the surrounding tissues; and implants, which can be used to replace the roots of the teeth in conjunction with crowns to reform the entire tooth structure.
