Learn the answers to common questions about dental crowns:
At Howard County Smiles, we utilize dental crowns made of porcelain ceramic. These crowns easily blend in with your natural smile. Dental crowns that are made of porcelain also reflect light for a more balanced and natural-looking end-result.
Dental fillings seal a cavity after root canal treatment. Even if you already have a dental filling, you may require a dental crown. Dental crowns provide more protection to the teeth as well as durability. Crowns not only cover the middle of the tooth but the whole tooth.
Dr. Becker will examine your teeth and gums before treatment to make sure that dental crowns are the right treatment option for your specific needs. To begin treatment, he cleans the affected tooth and removes a small amount of enamel so there is enough room for your dental crown.
Porcelain dental crowns are crafted using precise impressions of your teeth. Dr. Becker uses Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing, or CAD/CAM so that patients can receive dental crowns in just one office visit. After the crown is complete, Dr. Becker will make sure that it fits comfortably and securely.
With the right care, dental crowns can last for many years. Brushing and flossing regularly, as well as scheduling routine appointments in our office will ensure that your crown is long-lasting. Dr. Becker and his dental hygienists ensure that your crowns as well as the rest of your smile are clean and healthy.
