Restorative dental work performs an important function. The problems that affect our teeth can have lasting consequences, as physical injuries and dental decay cause permanent harm to our enamel. When you meet with your Katy, TX dentist to discuss treatment, you can learn that the right treatment is capable of addressing this while also restoring your smile. One way we can do this is by providing lifelike dental crowns that offer bite stability, protection from harm, and cosmetic benefits. When appropriate, we can also use more conservative dental fillings to treat problems, which also offer functional as well as esthetic benefits.
1. You Can Expect A Crown To Provide Long-Term Support
Simply put, the right restoration will provide long-term protection for your vulnerable tooth. If you receive a custom dental crown, we can make sure that it is the right shape and size to feel secure and comfortable. We can also make sure it is strong enough to hold up against years of biting and chewing pressure. To give extra support to back teeth that have more difficult biting and chewing tasks, we can recommend metal crowns. Their position makes them hard to see, making the appearance of this restoration less of a concern for your smile.
2. You Can Expect Your Crown To Support Your Bite Function
Whether you need to have restorative dental work done on a front tooth or on one of your molars, you should feel confident that you can maintain your natural bite function. If you are forced to adapt a different kind of bite movement, you can put pressure on your jaw joints and muscles that will lead to TMJ problems.
3. You Can Expect Cosmetic Benefits From Your Custom Crown
It is important that your crown last, and that it provides the kind of support you can trust in order to preserve your natural bite function. Of course, in addition to these concerns, patients can be understandably concerned about their smile after treatment. While metal crowns can help provide support to back teeth that are difficult to see, we can recommend more attractive materials when restoring teeth that are more important to your appearance. Porcelain can provide a remarkably lifelike appearance. We also provide zirconia crowns, which offer esthetic benefits as well as additional structural support.
