How Dental Crowns Can Save Your Teeth
1

• Tooth decay, trauma, fillings or even the way you
  chew can make your teeth wear down.
• As a dentist, my endeavor is for you to have your
  natural teeth for as long as you can.
• Thankfully, we have restorative dentistry
  procedures that deal with the preservation and
  maintenance of natural teeth.

Signs of Dental Problem

What Are Crowns And Their Benefits
1

• A crown is a tooth-shaped cap, made of ceramic,
  porcelain, or cement, that covers your damaged
  tooth entirely above the gum line.
• Crowns improve your teeth structure,
  functionality, and appearance. Usually, a crown
  is used to
• Provide attachment to bridges
• Cover stained, odd-shaped teeth and implants
• Fix a damaged tooth, cavity and chipped or worn
  out fillings
• Reconstruct weakened, fractured and broken teeth
  to prevent them from falling apart
• Cover a weakened tooth that requires a large
  filling

What Is The Procedure For Dental Crowns?

• If you are in need of a dental crown in Palo
  Alto, you will need a couple of visits at your
  dentists office to complete this treatment.
• For your first visit, your dentist will numb the
  area around the tooth to help with any
  discomfort.
• They will use a dental instrument to form and
  prep the tooth, so the crown will fit properly.
• A mold of your tooth will be taken and the
  temporary crown placed to guard the prep tooth.
• The mold is sent to a dental laboratory where a
  customized crown is made just for you.
• If you are satisfied with the shape, color and
  fit, then the crown will be permanently cemented
  on your second visit.

What You Need To Watch Out For After Your Crown
Procedure
1

• Once the numbness has worn off and the crown is
  permanently placed, you may experience some
  soreness.
• If you are having any discomfort you may take
  over-the-counter pain medication, as directed by
  your dentist.
• A crown is meant to last a lifetime with proper
  care.
• Remember, a crown may not last forever. It may
  need to be replaced if it has become faulty or
  worn down.

The Following Factors Determine The Lifespan of A
Crown
1

• How well you maintain your oral hygiene and how
  you loss and brush your teeth
• The food and drinks you consume
• Not biting into cold or hard substances with your
  teeth
• The condition of the surrounding teeth and gums

8
Conclusion

• Most times, damaged teeth, filling, and crown
  cause sensitivity, discomfort, and toothache.
• The more regularly you visit your dentist for
  dental crowns in Palo Alto, the better it is for
  your oral and overall health as waiting too long
  can lead to more serious health conditions.
