Dr. Stephen Akseizer Reinforces Decayed or Damaged Teeth with Dental Crowns in Syosset, NY
From the acid corrosion caused by the food you eat to the constant biting, crunching and grinding you do when eating or stressed, daily activities weaken your teeth and make them more susceptible to decay, cracks, discoloration and more. If any of your teeth reach a point where they become so weak or decayed that the tooth structure becomes compromised, a crown can be used to protect and reinforce it. By covering a weak or broken tooth and restoring it to its original size and shape, a crown reduces pain and saves the tooth from needing to be extracted. If you’re experiencing pain or decay in one of your teeth, Dr. Steven Akseizer can determine if you need a crown in Syosset, NY.
Made from porcelain, gold or porcelain fused to metal, crowns are used to repair teeth when fillings or bonding are not enough. When you have a crown placed, Dr. Akseizer first prepares your tooth by removing any existing decay and insulating the tooth nerve with core buildup, which also serves as a surface for the crown to bond to. Once the tooth is prepared, an impression is taken so that the crown can be created to fit perfectly. Then the custom crown is cemented onto the current tooth to prevent further decay and fracture.
Patients in Syosset, NY who suspect that they may need a crown to protect their teeth can turn to Dr. Stephen Akseizer. He has the experience and expertise to help you maintain optimal oral health. Call 516-938-7066 to schedule an appointment. For more information about the dentist and his services, visit www.akseizerdental.com.
