BEFORE AND AFTER DENTAL CROWNS
This patient has ground d
own his teeth. He did not realize it was causing an asymmetry in his smile where the right front teeth hung down. Dental Crowns are creating a balanced bite and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Treatment begins with a local anesthetic. Dr. Kohler then removes the unhealthy portion of the tooth and seals the tooth with a special rubber-based substance. Your remaining tooth material is then shaped to create a foundation for the Dental crown, and tooth impressions are taken and sent to our lab so that personalized restorations can be made.
Once your crown is ready, you will return to our office to have it placed. Dr. Kohler will make sure the crown is the right shade, shape, and fit, and will make any adjustments necessary to ensure that it does not interfere with your natural bite pattern. Your crown will be secured in place with a special adhesive, making it immediately functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Dr. Kohler provides dental crowns at our Wilmette practice for both front and rear teeth that have serious damage sufficient to cause structural weakening of the tooth. We fashion dental crowns from modern ceramics to ensure a match with the remaining natural tooth material. Once the crown is secured with a strong dental adhesive, it should last for many years.
