Dental Protection

                                         


When a tooth has fractured substantially, has had a number of large fillings or is showing crack lines, it may be appropriate to restore it with a crown.  Crowns are used when there is not enough good tooth structure remaining to support a filling.  A crown is commonly called a cap.  As a cap fits over your head, you can think of a crown as a helmet for your tooth.  Unlike a cap though, a crown will offer your tooth some added protection.  The crown covers all surfaces of the tooth it restores, providing full 360 degree coverage around the tooth just like the metal rings that hold the wooden planks on a wine barrel together.  This makes the damaged tooth strong again and offers protection when chewing and prevention from fracturing.  The Hempstead Dental is conveniently located near to the 641 10th St, Hempstead. We also provide various dental services in the nearby cities of Waller and Belleville  is thebest option for family clinic dental  dentist near you.

Some patients come in after years of getting fillings and we find that we can no longer replace the filling.  Fillings are used to prevent tooth decay but if they are not maintained, or if they are not set correctly, tooth decay will continue.  When tooth decay gets significant it must be removed and this can cause the structure of the tooth to be unable to support further fillings.  Crowns are the next step, and although you will be losing a little tooth structure to have room to fit the crown, you will be restoring your dental health.

Your dental crown procedure

To prepare your tooth for its new crown, we carefully remove the damaged portion, along with any signs of tooth decay. Then, instead of using old-fashioned impression paste, we use CEREC to scan your prepared tooth and make a highly detailed 3D image. With this information, our computerised CAD/CAM machine then precisely mills your dental crown from a ceramic block to our exact specifications – in only about half an hour!

Root Canal Treatment Is Not More Painful With Hempstead dental.

Image
" Root canal " is actually a natural cavity within the center of the tooth. The tooth's nerve lies within the root canal. When a tooth is severely decayed or broken and bacteria has invaded the tooth, deeply damaging the nerve inside, then we recommend a root canal treatment to save your tooth. Usually, the problem is manifested outwardly as a severe toothache, dental abscesses on the gums or radiolucency on your tooth’s x-ray image. A root canal therapy is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it and then filling and sealing it. No need to think about the 'low-cost dental clinic near me' as in Hempstead Dental , we offer high-quality root canal treatments at low prices.
