  1. True or False: We can use crowns to address a number of issues.
  2. True or False: We use advanced technology to create them.
  3. True or False: They will look natural.
  4. True or False: Maintaining them is easy.

Answer Key

  1. True. A crown fits over the tooth, allowing us to address issues with the tooth’s shape and color. We can lengthen worn down teeth, repair decay or infection, anchor dental bridges in place or even restore single tooth dental implants.
  2. True. Using the E4D system, we first prepare the tooth by removing a small amount of structure. We then take detailed digital impressions, which will be used to create a 3D model. We upload the information into a special machine, which will mill the crown from a solid block of ceramic. In the same visit, we can then place the completed restoration.
  3. True. Ceramic can be shaded to match surrounding teeth and also mimics the appearance of tooth enamel. As a result, your tooth will look natural following treatment. The material is also stain-resistant and very powerful.
  4. True. You simply care for your newly repaired tooth as you would a natural one. We suggest brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing every night before bed. You should also undergo a routine checkup and cleaning. If you have any questions about repairing a tooth or our one-visit restorations, then contact our team today.
