At Dazzle Dental Clinic, we commit to delivering the highest standard of dental care tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient. Our in-house digital dental laboratory is integral to providing prompt and high-quality dental restorations such as root canal crowns and implant crowns, ensuring a streamlined process that enhances patient experience and outcome.
Understanding Root Canal Crowns
A root canal crown is crucial after root canal therapy, a treatment needed when tooth pulp becomes infected or is in severe inflammation. This condition can cause significant discomfort and, if untreated, may lead to tooth loss or more serious health complications.
The Root Canal Crown Procedure:
- Root Canal Treatment: Infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned, disinfected, filled with a biocompatible material (usually gutta-percha), and sealed.
- Crown Preparation: The treated tooth is reshaped to ensure the crown fits seamlessly, maintaining bite integrity.
- Custom Crown Fabrication: Utilizing our state-of-the-art digital dental lab, we promptly begin crafting your custom crown, designed to perfectly match the color and shape of your existing teeth.
- Crown Placement: The crown is precisely placed and secured, restoring both function and aesthetics to your tooth.
Benefits of Root Canal Crowns:
- Protection: Safeguards the tooth from future damage or decay.
- Function Restoration: Enables normal chewing and biting capabilities.
- Aesthetic Improvement: Crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing your smile.
Exploring Implant Crowns
Implant crowns are the treatment of choice for replacing missing teeth and are recommended when a tooth cannot be saved or has been extracted. Unlike root canal crowns, which utilize the existing tooth structure, dental implant crowns are mounted on a titanium post that integrates with the jawbone.
The Implant Crown Procedure:
- Implant Placement: A titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone. This post will serve as a sturdy foundation for the crown and is notable for its biocompatibility, promoting osseointegration.
- Abutment Installation: Once integrated, an abutment is attached to the implant, serving as the link between the implant and the crown.
- Crown Fabrication: Leveraging advanced CAD/CAM technology in our digital dental lab, the crown is meticulously crafted to ensure a natural appearance and fit.
- Crown Attachment: The crown is then securely attached to the abutment, completing the restoration.
Benefits of Implant Crowns:
- Durability and Stability: Provides a long-lasting solution, potentially lasting a lifetime with proper care.
- Bone Health: Supports jawbone health by preventing the bone loss typically associated with tooth loss.
- Aesthetics and Functionality: Designed to look and function like natural teeth, significantly enhancing both oral health and smile aesthetics.
