Dr. Joseph Levingston Repairs Teeth with Dental Crowns in Laguna Beach CA
From the acid erosion 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 and in Laguna Beach CA Dr. Joseph Levingston can determine if a crown is needed to save your tooth.
Made from porcelain zirconia gold or porcelain fused to a precious metal crowns are used to repair teeth when fillings or bonding are not enough. When you have a crown placed Dr. Levingston will first prepare your tooth by removing any existing decay and insulating the tooth nerve with core buildup. Besides providing insulation the core buildup 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 at your next appointment the custom crown is cemented onto the current tooth to prevent further decay and fracture.
