How Receiving a Dental Crown Can Improve Your Smile

by  • 

If you are looking for a dental restoration that can improve your smile, you may find that a dental crown is just right for a tooth that is damaged or discolored. The design of dental crowns can enable them to last decades and may repair significant dental damage for greater strength and dental support.

Our dental team is happy to provide further information on what you can expect from a dental crown and why it might be needed. One of the main uses of dental crowns is to provide protection and a more aesthetic appearance for a compromised tooth by completely covering the visible portion above the gum line.

Our dentist may recommend dental crowns for patients of all ages, even children–who typically experience a greater risk of tooth decay due to high sugar diets. You can also receive a dental crown to support a dental filling that doesn’t have enough tooth enamel to keep it secure, as the dental crown can bond the filling and tooth together for several years. Other uses of dental crowns are to complete the functions of additional dental restorations such as root canal treatment and dental bridges and implants.

We invite you to contact us at 804-781-1919 today if you would like to receive a dental crown in Mechanicsville, Virginia, and are interested in discussing your options with Drs. Paul and Brant Stranovick.

Fun Facts About Cosmetic Dentistry

by  • 

Are you aware that there is a cosmetic dentistry procedure for almost all types of issues and complications that may arise with your smile? Even if your teeth are badly damaged or even entirely missing, modern-day dentistry is intended not only to provide you with a functional smile but a beautiful one that can imitate the look of a natural smile to its prime perfection.

If you are simply looking to whiten your natural smile, one of your best options is a tooth whitening system. With a professional whitening treatment, the tint of your smile can be improved by up to ten shades. If you are left with any lost or missing teeth, dental implants, dental bridges, and dentures all replace missing teeth for a natural look that closely resembles real teeth.

Not all cosmetic dentistry procedures are designed to only enhance the look of your teeth. Some can repair damaged teeth and correct minor malocclusions and imperfections as well. Dental crowns can conceal teeth down to the gum line for an upgraded look, as well as increased functions and an added layer of protection. Dental veneers can conceal the front of a tooth for a customizable look that can cover up stains and imperfections that brushing or whitening cannot correct. Dental bonding treatments can help defend teeth that have been chipped or cracked or those that are overly sensitive.

No matter which cosmetic dentistry service you choose, the real importance is the oral health benefits it can provide. If you would like Drs. Paul Stanovick, Brant Stanovick, and our team at Paul R. Stanovick, DDS to bring you in for an oral exam to determine which treatment is best for you, please contact our dentist office in Mechanicsville, Virginia, by calling us at 804-781-1919.
