Restoration Results: What You Can Expect
Restoration placement is not painful. Rather, it is a way to protect or enhance your tooth.
First, I treat the tooth. Then, I take impressions for restoration fabrication. In some cases, I can print your restoration right here in my dental office using CEREC technology (same-day crowns).
Once your restoration is ready, I make final adjustments before cementing it into place over your tooth.
Following restorations or tooth replacement, you’re free to enjoy your favorite foods right away.
Taking Care of Your Restorations
I recommend the following:
- Brush and floss your teeth at least twice daily.
- Visit my dental office for checkups and teeth cleanings every six months.
- Talk to my team if you suspect nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism).
- Avoid biting into sticky foods with your restored tooth.
- Talk to me immediately if your crown feels loose or damaged.
