Dental restorations are meant to be permanent fixtures in your smile. Unfortunately, dental fillings and dental crowns, while durable, are not indestructible. As with your teeth, they can be harmed to the point that professional care is called for. If you have a problem with a damaged filling or crown, let your Katy, TX dentist know as soon as possible. In the event that harm comes to a restoration, the tooth being protected can be vulnerable to issues. A replacement can ensure that your smile continues to enjoy support. If you have an older restoration made of metal, your new filling or crown can be made from a more attractive material, and have a positive effect on your smile.
Addressing A Problem With A Dental Filling Or Dental Crown
If you have a dental filling or crown that feels or looks damaged, or one that feels insecure, the matter should be brought to your dentist’s attention. If nothing is done, you could leave your tooth vulnerable due to a lack of support. Your dentist can survey the harm, and recommend a replacement if necessary. They can also look over your tooth structure, and see if any harm needs to be addressed.
Damage Can Lead To Problems With Past Cosmetic Dental Work
Your dentist can examine damage that negatively affects cosmetic restorations, too. In the event that you have porcelain veneers that become damaged or unsightly, they can talk with you about having replacements made and set on your teeth. This can allow you to regain the notable improvements made by your initial cosmetic dental treatment.
