These days, dental patients don't have to worry about compromising their all-white smile when restoring damaged teeth. Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth can find new strength with all-porcelain crowns, created to blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth. Dr. Lide places all-porcelain crowns, as well as porcelain fused to metal crowns, which are called PFMs.
A crown requires two office visits. At the first, Dr. Lide will prepare your damaged tooth and take an impression to send to our dental lab. Between your appointments, a ceramist will create your custom, all-porcelain crown to match your smile and fit snugly on the damaged tooth. Your second appointment will involve permanent placement of your crown. Dr. Lide will make sure that your teeth come together comfortably so that your bite is not altered with the new restoration.
A damaged tooth can interfere with oral function and make you self-conscious about your smile. It can also cause pain and irritation. Don't let your damaged tooth worsen. Call our Richardson dental office today for a consultation. We serve patients from Plano, Addison, Garland, and Dallas with expert clinical care.
