Dental Crowns
Severe dental decay and damage may not be treatable with a tooth-colored filling. When it extends beyond the enamel and penetrates the dentin layer, it often requires a more invasive approach. With dental crowns, these custom-made restorations must be carefully crafted by skilled lab technicians who have the technology and artistry to craft artificial teeth based on the size, shape, and color of those they are covering.
Because the underlying teeth are vulnerable as a result of the decay or damage sustained, crowns are made to fit over the natural structures and offer a layer of durable protection. Bonded into place, they look natural in appearance so that smiles appear blended, and they safeguard against bacteria and harmful particles that might otherwise try to penetrate and reinfect the underlying teeth.
When properly cared for, dental crowns can last 10-15 years, but you must commit to taking proper care of them daily.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
A small hole that forms inside a tooth is referred to as a cavity. If it does not penetrate beyond the enamel, it can be treated with a tooth-colored filling. Using composite resin, which is a mixture of plastic, glass, and other ceramic particles, it is matched to blend in with your existing tooth enamel. Dr. Diep will apply it to the treated tooth so that it creates a tight seal. This prevents reinfection while allowing your tooth to appear as if it received no dental work. Instead, all others will see is a beautiful, natural appearance.
