The Benefits of Customized Crowns
Customized crowns are tailored to fit your natural teeth’s unique shape, size, and color. Here’s why they’re a superior choice:
- Perfect Fit: Customized crowns are designed to match your tooth’s structure, ensuring a seamless fit.
- Durability: Made from high-quality materials like porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia, they offer long-lasting strength.
- Natural Appearance: Custom crowns are crafted to blend perfectly with surrounding teeth, enhancing your smile’s appearance.
- Improved Comfort: The perfect fit prevents discomfort and biting issues, providing a natural feel in the mouth.
- Enhanced Functionality: Unlike over-the-counter options, custom crowns restore full functionality, allowing you to bite and chew comfortably.
These advantages make customized crowns a worthwhile investment for patients looking to restore both the function and appearance of their teeth.
Why Over-the-Counter Dental Restorations Fall Short
While over-the-counter dental restorations are marketed as quick fixes, they come with several limitations:
- Poor Fit: One-size-fits-all restorations may not align properly with your natural teeth.
- Weak Materials: These restorations are often made from less durable materials, leading to cracks and breakage.
- Unnatural Look: The appearance may be mismatched, making them less appealing.
- Limited Longevity: They may require frequent replacements, increasing overall costs.
Choosing a custom crown at Designed Smiles ensures a durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing restoration.
What to Expect During a Custom Crown Procedure
During your custom crown procedure, Dr. Kim will:
- Evaluate Your Teeth: Assess the affected tooth and the surrounding area.
- Prepare the Tooth: Remove decay and shape the tooth to accommodate the crown.
- Take Impressions: Create precise molds to ensure a perfect fit.
- Place Temporary Crown: A temporary crown protects the tooth while the permanent one is fabricated.
- Final Placement: Once the custom crown is ready, Dr. Kim secures it for a flawless, long-lasting finish.
With Dr. Kim’s extensive cosmetic and restorative dentistry training, you can trust that your custom crown will provide optimal comfort, function, and aesthetic appeal.
