At Dentistry in Middletown, we understand the importance of having a healthy and beautiful smile. That’s why we offer our patients the best in tooth-colored dental crowns.
Dr. Jake Uram is experienced in providing secure, lasting crowns that strengthen your teeth and improve your oral health. We are dedicated to helping you achieve a better smile in comfort with expertly placed dental crowns.
Dental crowns are little “helmets for your teeth” that cover or encircle a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Commonly, they are used to protect and reinforce weak or damaged teeth, as well as to enhance the aesthetics of teeth with unsightly stains, chips, or gaps.
Generally, the dental crown procedure can be completed in two visits. During the first visit, our Middletown, DE, dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay or damage and reshaping it to accommodate the crown. Then, he will take an impression of the tooth to create a custom crown that matches the size, shape, and color of the surrounding teeth. If you’re concerned about leaving the office hanging, don’t worry! Dr. Uram will fit you with a temporary crown so that you can leave the first appointment with a temporary crown protecting the tooth.
At the second visit, Dr. Uram will place the final crown over the tooth and permanently secure it with dental cement. Any necessary adjustments are then made to ensure a comfortable fit and bite.
Since dental crowns have a place in both restorative and cosmetic dentistry, they have a versatile range of uses to improve patients’ smiles. From a restorative standpoint, dental crowns can repair teeth that have chipped, cracked, or broken.
Plus, they can reinforce teeth that are damaged or compromised through decay and strengthen a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy. Also, if you have a large filling that no longer feels supportive, a dental crown can offer better coverage.
While dental crowns of the past came in many materials and colors, Dr. Uram chooses modern, tooth-colored dental crowns that blend seamlessly with the remaining natural teeth. They can improve the color of teeth that are stained or discolored and reshape uneven or worn-down teeth.
In most cases, dental cleanings and checkups should be scheduled once every six months. Consistent intervals between dental cleanings stop cavity-causing plaque from damaging your teeth and affecting the appearance of your smile. When problems do arise, regular dental exams ensure you receive simple treatment when issues are in their earliest and easiest-to-manage stages.
A dental crown is an effective and long-lasting solution for many oral health issues. The process may seem daunting at first glance, but with our expertise and experience, you can be sure that the procedure will be done quickly, safely, and with excellent results.
Dr. Uram aims to provide a one-of-a-kind, comfortable, and positive experience that will leave you feeling confident about your smile. Schedule an appointment at Dentistry in Middletown and get started on the path to better dental health.
