Why would your dentist tell you that you need a dental crown? Why is a dental filling not always good enough to support a tooth? Crowns are meant to restore a tooth that is seriously affected by an issue. This may mean having a crown placed after a root canal treatment has been performed, or after dental damage weakens the tooth. In some cases, a patient can have a dental crown act like a prosthetic tooth, as your dentist can fit the restoration onto a dental implant. The availability of CEREC Same-Day Crowns technology provides your dentist with the means to produce your crown in just one visit. That means full restorative care in less time. (more…)

Restoring Your Tooth After A Serious Cavity
A newly-formed cavity might escape your notice – without an examination from your dentist, you could miss early signs of tooth decay. That being said, a cavity that starts to cause discomfort can be difficult to overlook.

You will need to have endodontic care from a root canal treatment, and your tooth will need to have a dental crown placed. Your dentist’s use of CEREC Same-Day Crowns technology will actually streamline the process of restoring your tooth after treatment, as this technology eliminates the need for a follow-up appointment to place the crown.

Quiz: How A Dental Implant Changes The Prosthetic Experience
The right dental prosthetic should make you more comfortable with your smile, and help you feel as though you can function normally when biting, chewing, and speaking. To ensure that your restoration is stable, you can have it supported with a dental implant. A dental implant is a titanium post that will act like the root for your artificial tooth. To stay in place, it must be set directly in your jawbone, and you will need to give it time to heal. During the healing process, the bone fuses to the implant. Once it is secure, you can have a natural-looking ceramic dental crown put on the implant. This provides excellent support, and offers additional benefits to your jawbone. (more…)

While an increase in regular dental visits can help your dentist stay on top of problems, to control your issues, early intervention to reverse your condition is preferable. Smart oral care that pays attention to your gum health can be critical to avoiding serious periodontal problems. You should know that serious gum disease can have serious consequences, including the prospect of losing teeth. (more…)
