"I just love my front teeth now!" ~ Marissa,
If you live in the Spokane, Washington area, Dr. Heidergott’s Spokane dental office is the right spot for all your dental needs. At Dr. Heidergott’s clinic we have several treatment options. Chipped or discolored teeth are a common problem that should not be neglected. Many people also have decaying teeth owing to a range of issues. Pregnancy, medications for an illness, poor oral hygiene, and smoking are just a few contributors. Tooth degeneration could also be a result of careless eating habits coupled with the wrong types of food.
A crown is actually a kind of an ‘overcoat’ slipped right over your prepared tooth and cemented in place. It cannot be removed, but it will completely encase your existing tooth and provide protection, support and aesthetic enhancement.
Dr. Heidergott will usually recommend a crown if your tooth is too badly damaged to restore with a simpler solution. Stains and cavities can be dealt with by using bonding, tooth colored fillings and even veneers. However, these do not completely encircle the tooth.
If you have had a root canal, a crown is very useful in providing a guard against any further damages. Badly broken teeth which cannot be repaired are preserved by placing a crown. Crowns have been used by dentists to promote oral health for many years, but today they play a vital role in cosmetic dentistry.
Chat with Dr. Heidergott about which material you want your crown to be made of. The choices are metals such as silver or gold, dental porcelain or a combination. Metal crowns are durable but do not blend in and can be very noticeable. Porcelain is fast becoming the most popular choice due to its entirely natural appearance and the dramatically improved strength of the new types now widely available.
Call or drop in today at Dr. Heidergott’s office for a consultation. You will immediately relax in the welcoming atmosphere and be rest assured that your teeth are under expert care.
