Engineered Occlusal Strength
When a tooth is too damaged for a simple filling, a custom-engineered crown is the best way to restore its full function. We use modern materials that are designed to withstand the heavy forces of chewing for many years. Our approach combines biological science with advanced engineering to protect your natural smile.
Many patients have old silver fillings that are starting to crack or leak over time. This can compromise your occlusal strength, which is the ability of your teeth to bite down without breaking. A crown acts like a protective helmet for the tooth. We use CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology to create a perfect fit. This ensures that the new tooth looks and feels exactly like your original one. Dr. Kurt and Dr. Holly Reineck ensure every restoration is seated with extreme precision.
It is wonderful to hear a patient say they can finally chew on both sides of their mouth again after getting a new crown.
The Durability of Modern Dental Materials
The materials we select for our crowns are chosen for their biocompatibility and their aesthetic appeal. We avoid metals that can cause dark lines in the gums or allergic reactions. By focusing on engineered occlusal strength, we make sure your bite is balanced. An unbalanced bite can lead to jaw pain and the wearing down of other teeth. Our crowns are custom-milled to match the specific shade and shape of your surrounding dentition.
How many appointments will I need to complete this process?
Most crown procedures are completed in just two visits to our office. We place a very high-quality temporary crown during the first visit so you stay comfortable while your permanent one is being made.
Is it difficult to brush and floss around a new crown?
You can clean your crown just like a natural tooth because it is designed to be a permanent part of your mouth. We will show you the best way to floss around the edges to keep your gums healthy and strong.
