Dr. Nahidh Andrews of Andrews Family Dentistry Strengthens and Reinforces Teeth with Dental Crowns in South Bend, IN
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 using a crown to cover a weak or broken tooth and restore it to its original size and shape, Dr. Nahidh Andrews of Andrews Family Dentistry can reduce your pain and save your tooth from needing to be extracted in South Bend, IN.
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. Andrews will first prepare your tooth by removing any existing decay and insulating the tooth nerve with core buildup, which will also serve 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. At your next appointment, the custom crown is cemented onto the current tooth to prevent further decay and fracture.
Patients in South Bend, IN who suspect that they may need a crown to protect their teeth can turn to Dr. Nahidh Andrews. He has the experience and expertise to help you maintain optimal oral health at Andrews Family Dentistry. Just call 574-273-3900 to schedule an appointment.
