Our dentist, Dr. Frank Russomanno, Jr. will sometimes recommend a dental crown restoration to address a tooth with a significantly compromised enamel layer. This is also a common treatment for large cavities, dental fractures and significantly misshapen teeth.
The tooth’s general location in your mouth will largely influence the type of material Dr. Frank Russomanno Jr. recommends for a dental crown. This is especially important if the tooth will appear when you smile.
If the tooth is visible to others, the dentist will often recommend a porcelain dental crown. This material is designed to mimic natural tooth enamel and can be shaded to match the surrounding teeth. If the tooth is small or receives a great deal of pressure from biting or chewing , the dentist might recommend a dental crown fused to a metal core. A dental crown made from gold or a metal alloy might used to restore a molar or premolar in the back of your mouth. The dental crown will be created in a state of the art dental lab. Then Dr. Russomanno will cement it onto your tooth with a strong dental adhesive.
If you are in the Bloomington, Minnesota, area and you have a significantly compromised tooth, you should call 952.881.0504 to seek treatment at Amber Leaf Family Dental.
