Even if you have severe tooth damage, family dentistry in Gainesville, VA, could help you fix it. Dental restorations from your dentists, Dr. Maggie Olano and Dr. Mariano Polack of Dental Design can help you repair the damage and strengthen your teeth.
What are Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are tooth restorations that your dentist places over your tooth to restore strength and improve its appearance.
Before your dental crown restoration, your dentists will treat your damaged teeth by removing the damaged part. Your family dentists in Gainesville, VA, will prepare your teeth for your dental crown installation by shaving down some of your enamel to ensure a perfect fit.
Dental crowns could be made from metal alloys, ceramic, or porcelain. Porcelain and ceramic dental crowns are most popular because they could match your natural teeth color so no one else can tell that you have one.
How Dental Crowns Can Help You
You could get tooth damage from accidents, poor oral hygiene, or disease. Oral health problems that dental crowns could help you fix include:
- Tooth Decay Tooth decay could happen when bacteria produce acid that wears away your tooth enamel. Untreated tooth decay can be pretty painful and could result in tooth loss. Your dentists can clean out the decay and strengthen your teeth with dental crowns.
- Chipping Accidents can leave you with a chip on your tooth. Biting hard foods such as ice can also chip your tooth. A chipped tooth could look unappealing. However, with dental crowns, you can cover and protect your teeth from further damage.
- Cracks You could get a crack in your tooth from accidents like a fall or sports injury. A crack in your tooth weakens it. You could also get a tooth root infection. However, with a dental crown, your tooth is protected from damage.
Will your damaged tooth benefit from a crown restoration? You'll need to ask your dentists, Dr. Olano and Dr. Polack. Call (703) 753-8753 to schedule your consultation with your dentists at Dental Design to enjoy the benefits of family dentistry in Gainesville, VA.
