Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is often used to repair chipped or cracked teeth, to reduce unsightly gaps, or to hide discoloration of the teeth. You can learn more about composite bonding here.
Crowns
A crown is a permanent covering that fits over an original tooth that is either decayed, damaged, or cracked. Crowns are made of a variety of different materials, such as zirconia, porcelain, gold, acrylic resin, or a mix of these materials.
The treatment plan for a patient receiving a crown involves:
- Numbing the tooth to remove the decay in or around it
- Re-sculpturing the tooth to provide an ideal fit for the crown
- Making an impression of your teeth in order to create a custom-made crown (usually takes three weeks)
- Making a temporary crown out of acrylic resin or pre-formed metal and fitting it onto the tooth during the interim period when the permanent custom-made crown is being created
- Applying the permanent crown (when received from the lab) by removing the temporary crown and fitting the permanent one onto the tooth (this does not require anesthesia)
- After ensuring that the crown has the proper look and fit, and confirming your approval, cementing it into place
