Teeth that are decayed, worn down, broken or affected by gum disease may need to be restored by your dentist. The most common type of tooth damage; decay is mainly caused by eating or drinking sugary food and drinks.
Damaged tooth tissues can become very painful and also sensitive to different elements such as change of temperature, i.e. Cold / Hot. This can subsequently leave the tooth vulnerable to attack from disease, which could eventually lead to tooth loss.
When teeth are damaged beyond repair with the traditional restorative techniques (fillings), It is essential to protect them from further injury and also to restore the cosmetic appearance.
One of the oldest and most successful ways of protecting teeth is to fit a dental crown over the top. A dental crown is a ceramic or metal and ceramic cap that is designed to fit over the damaged tooth, covering all parts of the tooth above the gum line to act as a barrier.
Crowns can also be provided for reasons that are purely cosmetic. Severely discoloured teeth or teeth that are misshapen can be covered with crowns to create a look that is more visually pleasing.
Traditionally dental crowns were made of a metal alloy or, more notable a gold alloy. With further developments in the available technology, ceramic crowns were developed to produce a more natural appearance. Today, there’s a solution as beautiful as nature itself: 3M™ ESPE™ Lava™ Zirconia restoration. These Dental crowns offer the benefits of porcelain fused to metal, strength and longevity.
Just as important, Lava Zirconia restorations can be matched precisely to the color of your own teeth and provide the natural translucency that metal-based restorations can’t.
To make a Lava™ crown or your Cosmetic dentist in Preston will take an impression of your mouth, and send it to a laboratory. There, the master ceramist, using computer-aided design technology, will use the impression to create a model of your mouth. After creating a precise framework for your restoration, The Ceramist will build up layers of ceramic onto the framework so that the final restoration will match your natural teeth. The completed restoration will then be delivered to your dentist who will fit it for you.
