A cavity may start small, but it will continue to spread as it goes unchecked. Your daily oral care habits can help you prevent decay, but once that decay takes hold, the solution to your woes resides with your dentist. In cases where a cavity has had time to grow severe enough to cause internal problems, a root canal treatment will be in order. Once this procedure has been performed, your dentist will still need to address its impact on your tooth. While a filling is not a sufficient response to a root canal, a dental crown can offer necessary support. With a life-like ceramic crown, you can have your needed support, and keep your appearance in order.
Your Smile After You Receive Your Dental Crown
Many people mistakenly assume that their dental crown will be made of metal, and will not fit in with its surroundings. While some people do still receive metal crowns, your dentist can actually provide you a crown made from ceramic – thanks to CEREC technology, that crown can actually be ready in just one visit! The ceramic is durable, but also lifelike, so you enjoy support, and keep your appearance intact.
You Can Avoid A Root Canal If You Stay On Top Of Regular Dental Visits
Regular dental visits will help you stay on top of your oral health needs, and give your dentist the chance to spot problems in their earlier stages. When you fail to come in for semiannual checkups, you may miss a chance to have developing decay caught and treated. That means an increased risk of having a tooth suffer to the point that a root canal has to be performed.
Your Dentist Can Provide You With A Dental Crown After Your Root Canal Treatment!
Patients may be hesitant when they learn they need a root canal, but this procedure is important when you have a serious cavity. With the aid of a ceramic dental crown provided by Dr. Okoniewski, your smile can look and feel normal after this procedure is completed.
