All About Dental Crowns

Need a crown for your tooth, but worried or anxious about the process and numerous visits to the dentist? Preston Dental has a solution for you. The purpose of a dental crown is to replace a damaged tooth. Traditional treatment usually includes taking an impression of the tooth, fabricating the crown in a lab, and installing the crown. This process can take up to 4 weeks, and include multiple visits to the dentist office.

Preston Dental's solution for crowns is called "same day dentistry." This consists of a new technology the works with a computer. The computer will actually scan and create a virtual model of your tooth. The crown is then fabricated and installed right there in the dentist office. There is no gook, no bad taste, and no waiting for weeks on end. This is the perfect solution for anyone needing a crown, and anyone who is sensitive to fresh material in their mouth. The whole process takes only one visit, which means less time at the dentist, and more time enjoying your new smile.

Beautiful and Natural-looking Smiles

Preston Dental knows that when you have a confident smile, you feel and look good! That is why Preston Dental emphasizes the aesthetic in all of their work. The combination of preventative care, tooth-colored fillings, and restorative techniques will help you reach better dental health.

One treatment for a natural-looking smile is to replace the standard silver-mercury filling with white bonded fillings. The white bonded fillings look better, contain no metals, and can help strengthen your teeth. The metal in standard fillings is not tooth-colored, and does not bond as well to teeth. It eventually decays and can leak into the tooth. White bonded fillings bond tightly to the healthy part of the tooth to better eliminate the chance of future decay. These fillings are just one way that Preston Dental wants to help you achieve a beautiful and natural-looking smile.

The Truth About Crowns

Making crowns for teeth used to be a complicated process. The "usual" method involved taking an impression of the tooth and sending it to a lab where it takes a long time to create the crown. While waiting for the crown, the patient would wear a temporary crown, which didn't look good and could break easily. Only after the lab-made crown is complete can the patient come back for a second or third visit. Thank goodness these days are over!

Using E4D technology, the worn, chipped, or decayed teeth can be replaced with perfect tooth colored restorations. These restorations are bonded to the teeth and can last for years and years. E4D technology also allows us to complete the whole process in just 1 visit! You will leave with your permanent teeth with no need for a temporary crown. The result is a beautiful, strong, and metal-free crown restoration. Have no fear after the restoration and eat normally right away. E4D technology offered by Preston Dental is the best option for tooth restoration.
