Damaged teeth can make it hard to feel confident in your smile. Whether it’s visible or not, it’s important to get the quality, customized care you need. At Uno Dental, we offer some of the most industry-leading combinations of restorative treatment with exceptional cosmetic results.
When your teeth are chipped, damaged, or decayed, your dentist can help. The truth is that problems with your teeth can lead to further problems down the road, so it’s important to undergo some restorative and preventive care. Additionally, it can be hard to enjoy the way your smile looks with teeth that are damaged, misshapen, or decayed. That’s why it’s our goal to make sure your teeth are beautiful and protected for the long term.
Dental crowns are one effective way to both protect your teeth and restore their appearance. Crowns are caps made of materials like porcelain that are fitted over your natural teeth to protect them from further wear, decay, or breakage. They look and function just like your normal teeth, meaning they can be used to fill in gaps and improve your smile’s appearance. At Uno dental, we can recommend the best options in state-of-the-art dental crowns for your smile makeover or restorative treatment plan.
Why Choose Porcelain Crowns at Uno Dental San Francisco?
Crowns have a variety of effective uses. These include:
- Protecting weakness in the tooth
- Keeping the tooth together if cracking has occurred
- Restoring a broken or worn-down tooth
- Protecting large fillings
- Holding a dental bridge in place
- Covering up misshapen or discolored teeth
- Covering up dental implants
- Covering up teeth that have undergone a root canal
There are many different reasons you might opt for a crown, but the biggest benefit is that it both completes and protects your smile. With the help of our cosmetic team, you can feel confident in your oral health for the long term with a unique treatment plan and a pampered experience at our luxurious San Francisco office. When your meet with Dr. Kandar, you’ll enjoy quality, customized care for your crowns and overall oral health.
What Can I Expect During Porcelain Crown Treatment?
Crowns are placed over the course of a few different appointments. Firstly, you’ll meet with Dr. Kandar and discuss your goals for restorative and cosmetic treatment so we can begin creating the right treatment plan for you. We’ll take X-rays or scans of the teeth and bone surrounding it so we can determine if there’s any decay, infection, or injury that will need to be addressed first.
Then, your teeth will be prepared for a crown by making space around it. We’ll make sure you’re comfortable and relaxed at our luxurious San Francisco office during this step. An impression or scan will be made of your teeth so that your crown can be fabricated at a dental lab. You’ll be given a temporary crown to wear during this time.
Secondly, you’ll return for another appointment where the crown is checked for fit and appearance before being put in place. If it fits well, then you’ll return so Dr. Kandar can make sure everything is working as it should.
How Can I Get the Best Results from My Porcelain Crown Treatment?
To get the most long-term use out of your crown, it’s important to take care of it like your natural teeth. This means brushing twice daily and flossing nightly, as well as avoiding sugary drinks and food. You should meet with Dr. Kandar regularly to make sure the crown doesn’t affect your bite or otherwise put your teeth at risk.
Crowns are designed to last for ten years or more, but this can depend on how much wear you put on your crown. Things like grinding your teeth, chewing ice or hard candies, biting your fingernails, and using your teeth to open things can wear down your crown faster than normal. Our team at Uno Dental can help make sure you’re getting the most out of your crowns with professional care and a supportive environment so you love your smile.
