Restore Your Smile with Dental Crowns:
At 1010 Dental on Elm, we understand the importance of a healthy and beautiful smile. Dental crowns, also known as caps, can be a lifesaver for teeth that are severely damaged, cracked, or weakened. Think of them as protective helmets for your teeth, safeguarding their structure and function while enhancing their appearance.
When are Crowns Needed?
- Extensive decay: When a large cavity compromises the tooth's strength and health.
- Fractures or cracks: To repair and reinforce cracked or chipped teeth.
- Cosmetic concerns: To improve the shape, size, or color of teeth for aesthetic reasons.
- Root canal therapy: To cover and protect a treated tooth after root canal.
1010 Dental on Elm offers a variety of crown materials to suit your needs and preferences, including:
- Porcelain: Strong, natural-looking, and biocompatible.
- Zirconia: Highly durable and resistant to chipping or staining.
- Gold: Durable and long-lasting, but less aesthetically pleasing.
Saving Teeth with Root Canal Therapy:
Sometimes, the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, trauma, or other factors. This can lead to pain, swelling, and even tooth loss. Fortunately, root canal therapy can often save the tooth.
The Root Canal Process:
- Numbing the area: Ensuring your comfort is our priority.
- Accessing the pulp: We carefully create a small opening in the tooth.
- Removing infected tissue: The infected pulp is cleaned and disinfected.
- Sealing the tooth: The treated tooth is sealed to prevent further infection.
- Restoring the tooth: A crown is often placed to protect and strengthen the tooth.
1010 Dental on Elm provides gentle and effective root canal therapy using advanced techniques and technologies.
