Taking care of your smile is an important part of being human. You are only given one set of adult teeth to last you your entire lifetime, and if you don’t maintain them, you could lose them. Each tooth is composed of a few different forms of tissue, and their outer layer is enamel. While this material is even tougher than bone, you can still damage it through injury or tooth decay. And when that happens, it’s time to tell your dentist about what’s gone on.
Here at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, Drs. Justin and Cody Coon work with patients to find a way back to a stronger smile. Our office is built to help people just like you to work toward improving oral health through positive preventive care, quality cosmetic improvement, and yes, restoration for when your smile needs a little help. We are proud to offer CEREC milling for our dental crowns, too, so if you have cracked, chipped, or broken one of your teeth, see how this innovative process creates beautiful restorations right here in the office while you wait.
CEREC milling helps patients renew their smiles with less downtime. To find out more about restoration after breaking a tooth, call Grinnell Street Dental.
A Broken Tooth Puts A Smile At Risk
Bacteria are always trying to cause trouble within your mouth. That’s just the honest truth, and it’s your job to make sure that they can’t do any serious harm by brushing and flossing. Your biannual checkups are another really important part of your smile maintenance, too, so make sure that you stick to your schedule of visits.
When you break a tooth, it can allow bacteria to make their way past the enamel into the soft tissue of the tooth. Here, there is a nerve, and this infection can cause a serious toothache that requires a root canal treatment to correct.
CEREC Milling Helps Patients Renew Their Smiles Quicker
With a traditional dental crown method, a ceramicist has to create a restoration before it can be seated. That means time for the patient spent with a temporary crown, and it also means a second appointment. Well, with CEREC milling, we’re able to streamline the process to save our patients some time. CEREC milling allows us to craft quality, custom dental restorations right here in our office using advanced materials like zirconium. At your visit, be sure to ask about all of your options.
