You can feel self-conscious when you hear that you have a cavity. The news can make you question your oral hygiene routine, but it can also leave you with concerns that your smile will permanently change due to dental work. At our Rochester, MN dentist’s office, you can learn how a cavity can be fully treated without changing your appearance. We are able to discreetly address decay by providing protection with custom crowns and fillings that imitate your tooth structure! Remember that a cavity will do more damage to your tooth over time if you put off care. At regular dental exams, we can actually warn you about a problem in time to resolve it before there are complications.
Treating A Cavity Without Changing Your Smile
When a cavity forms, you will have permanent damage to your tooth structure that will make support necessary. After evaluating the harm done by decay, your dentist will talk with you about whether you need a filling or crown to provide that support. The difference in the two makes it possible for us to resolve different degrees of physical damage. With that said, we are able to provide protection with lifelike materials in both cases. As a result, we can make sure your smile is in good condition while we also ensure that your tooth has enough support.
Using A Filling To Protect Your Tooth
Composite resin dental fillings bond to your enamel and close up a space opened by dental decay. We take care to apply fillings to cover the harm to your tooth, which allows us to keep the structure safe against a new infection and against physical harm. In addition to adhering directly to your enamel, composite resin can closely imitate its color and texture to prevent detection.
We Provide Same-Day Crowns For Our Patients
How long will it take to have a custom dental crown prepared and placed over your tooth? While other practices can ask you to set up at least two appointments, we can provide your custom restoration in just one appointment thanks to CEREC technology. Your CEREC crown is digitally designed and physically produced on-site, and then it is put in place to provide long-term stability. This is more than just a convenient way to deal with tooth – loss, CEREC crowns also provide cosmetic benefits by imitating healthy teeth!
