The holidays have come and gone and now that
the decorations have been put away for another year it is time to talk to your oral health specialist and schedule an appointment with your Dentist in Cameron Park.
That nagging toothache that you experienced just after Thanksgiving is a sign
that something is wrong. Only a Cameron Park Dentist will be able to access the
situation to determine what steps need to be taken in order to fix the problem.
If your Dentist in Cameron Park has tried to
repair a big cavity with a filling only to decide that it is too big to fill
properly it Dr. Michael Wadden may recommend a crown or cap.
Crowns or caps are used to repair broken or fractured
teeth, decayed teeth, cosmetic enhancement, large fillings, fractured fillings,
and any tooth that has a root canal.
Your Cameron Park Dentist will decide on a
crown if he believes that your tooth cannot be restored. Crowns are coverings
that encase the entire surface of your tooth.
Back in the day, crowns were made out of
gold, but thanks to modern technology, you can ask your Dentist in Cameron Park
about tooth colored crowns that are made to match your natural tooth color.
Although crowns are extremely durable and can
last for years, they may need to be replaced eventually. Only your Cameron ParkDentist Dr. Michael Wadden will know for sure if your crowns need to be restored.
If Dr. Wadden decides that you need to be
fitted for a crown or crowns, he will schedule a couple of appointments in
order to complete the procedure.
The first appointment involves custom mold
fittings. These impressions are used to design and create your custom crowns.
Your Dentist in Cameron Park will also create a temporary crown that will stay
on your tooth for about two weeks. Once your permanent crown has been made, it
will be fitted to your tooth during your second appointment.
