Crowns: The Perfect balance between Restorative and Cosmetic Dentistry

Curtis Couch D.D.S’ crown procedure is the perfect treatment used to strengthen damaged teeth while simultaneously replacing the cosmetic vitality of your smile

Curtis Couch D.D.S in Thousand Oaks is passionate about providing a high quality of restorative dentistry while ensuring the cosmetic appearance of the teeth. There is definitely an art when it comes to constructing the perfect smile and you can rest assured that Curtis Couch D.D.S can provide you with the treatment you need and the smile you desire. It is only natural to want a perfect smile, however we are often faced with obstacles that obstruct our smile and compromise our appearance. These obstacles can be caused by a variety of different ailments including accidental injury as well as more serious dental illnesses such as periodontitis or gingivitis.

It’s important to get any dental abnormalities seen to early

By letting us examine any dental discrepancies in the early stage you are ensuring your own health and also reducing the amount of restorative and cosmetic dentistry you require. Gingivitis is a common ailment which is caused by biofilm (or plaque) on the teeth and gums which can lead to other diseases such as periodontitis. Periodontitis is a destructive form of periodontal disease which can lead to serious general health complications such as cardiovascular disease. Plaque infection can also cause tooth decay which can lead to the requirement of fillings, inlays/onlays and even crowns if the tooth has been severely damaged.

Crowns are the best treatment used to strengthen teeth

There are a number of reasons why your teeth may become weakened apart from periodontal disease.  The demineralization of your enamel can be caused by a number of things including:
  • Acidic foods and beverages such as sodas
  • Dry mouth caused by ‘lazy’ saliva glans (xerostomia)
  • Acid Reflux
  • Medications (aspirin)
  • Genetics
Once your enamel has eroded significantly you may experience sensitivity of the teeth and because the surface layer of your teeth has been eroded you may be more susceptible to diseases that can affect the roots and nerves. In the event of this Curtis Couch D.D.S may suggest that you have a crown fitted on the affected teeth.

The Crown Procedure

Before your crown can be fitted to your tooth your dentist will have grind down part of the remaining tooth to make room. Once this is complete your dentist will be able to create a crown tailored perfectly to your smile so that it blends seamlessly with the color and alignment of your teeth. Once your porcelain crown has been attached with a specialized dental bonding agent the strength of your teeth will be restored and the appearance will also be improved as enamel destruction can cause a grey-ish shade on the teeth.

Lesser enamel problems can be fixed with Curtis Couch D.D.S’ cosmetic dentistry

If your dentist deems your enamel wear to be purely cosmetic they may suggest you invest in porcelain veneers to correct your smile. Porcelain veneers are a simple and quick way to create a cosmetically perfect smile while improving the surface sensitivity of your teeth. They can often be applied in one appointment where they will almost instantly improve the overall appearance of your smile. If you are interested in finding out more about the restorative and cosmetic dentistry on offer at Curtis Couch D.D.S in Thousand Oaks please do not hesitate to contact us.
