Crowns
Cracked and severely worn teeth only worsen if left untreated. Neglecting dental repairs could lead to a broken tooth that results in acute pain and requires immediate attention. Dr. Schwam applies custom crowns to renew structurally unsound. For front teeth that show when you smile, he prefers to place porcelain crowns, which look attractive and natural.
A crown fits snugly atop a compromised tooth to restore shape and durability. Dr. Schwam places gold, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and all-ceramic crowns. The location of your tooth and the amount of stress it incurs will dictate which type of material Dr. Schwam selects. Crowns perform like natural teeth and require the same care.
Expect about three visits to design and place your crown. You'll wear a temporary while a skilled ceramist at a trusted lab creates your restoration. When your permanent crown is ready, Dr. Schwam will bond it in place and make adjustments so that it fits will with your bite.
