When you have a tooth that is cracked or broken, or one with a severe cavity, then you need a restoration. With crowns, we can repair your teeth and ensure lifelike results too! In today’s blog, your team at Healthy Smiles Family Dentistry in Houston, TX, talks about repairing your teeth with our crowns.

The Need for Dental Repair

When do you need to see us for a crown to repair your teeth? When injuries chip or crack a tooth, even if the issue appears minor, then you need to see our team for a visit. Otherwise, these teeth could develop painful cavities and infection. Likewise, if you have pain in a tooth that does not pass after a few days, this could mean a cavity or even an infection that needs repair to avoid the risk of worsening pain and tooth loss. When you have teeth that need repair, we can help!

How We Repair Teeth

Our team can repair a tooth with a crown, one that looks natural and lasts for years to come. We will begin by numbing your tooth so you stay comfortable as we remove outer structure from the tooth to accommodate the restoration. We then take images and impressions of the tooth, which we can use to design and craft your custom restoration. Our team can use materials like porcelain and zirconia, which are shaded to blend with your tooth and look natural.

When it is ready, we will check the fit and make sure we do not need to make any adjustments. Our team then attaches it with a powerful bonding agent, restoring the health, function, and beauty of your tooth.

Keeping Your Restoration Strong

After we repair your tooth, you can take actions to help ensure your restoration looks natural and stays secure. You should brush and floss daily, limit the sugar and starch in your diet, and see our team for a checkup and cleaning every six months. These actions not only protect your new crown, but limit the chances you will need another one in the future!

If you have any questions about how we repair a tooth with a crown, or about any of our other restorative treatments, then please reach out to our office today to learn more and start your treatment journey! We want to help restore your smile to full function, health, and beauty again with our custom dental restorations.
