A damaged or missing tooth can undoubtedly be not attractive and functional. Lost or damaged teeth not only look bad, but they also endanger the security of your other healthy teeth. This is why it’s essential to address the issue right away, and at Park Avenue Dental in New York, New York, Dr. Mary Taudel and her team can provide effective therapeutic options such as dental crown services.
Depending on their needs, Park Avenue Dental provides patients with various dental crown options. Dr. Taudel is committed to helping patients achieve the best possible result for their oral health and overall appearance. Crowns can be used to address a range of issues, such as misalignment, discoloration, and weakened teeth. Missing or damaged teeth are often caused by injury, gum disease, tooth decay, or imperfections.
The porcelain cap protects the tooth, increasing its strength and endurance. Additionally, the procedure can restore a single tooth with an abutment and dental implant. Dr. Taudel will be happy to discuss the benefits of dental crowns with patients to help them make the best decision for their situations.
To evaluate if a person is a viable candidate, a dentist will first assess them. Next, they prepare the tooth for taking impressions by removing some of the enamel from its surface. After generating the images, they are sent to a dental laboratory to create a provisional prosthetic crown. When the permanent crown is ready, the patient returns to our office to have the temporary crown removed and the permanent one placed.
After a permanent crown is fitted, it is vital to abstain from consuming tough and sticky edibles or chewing gum in the initial day and a half while the adhesive solidifies. Brushing your teeth is fine. However, those recovering may want to be more delicate when flossing for the healing duration. It is common for the tooth and gums to be tender for a few days after the restoration. Consequently, dentists generally suggest patients stick to softer foods during healing.
