Forest Dental Care offers various dental restoration options including dental crowns and onlays; two very effective means of restoring your beautiful smile.
Dental crowns provide total coverage over a visible area of a tooth to restore its purpose, form and appearance. Dental crowns are commonly used to protect severely damaged teeth from further decay or trauma.
Dental Onlays or partial crowns provide less coverage than full crowns; they’re used to repair a tooth’s cusp (its bite surface) when the level of damage doesn’t require the entire tooth to be covered.
Forest Dental Care discusses each individual patient’s dental requirements honestly and openly; in our conversations regarding potential restoration treatments, we will explain both the advantages and disadvantages of the options offered for your consideration.
Onlays and crowns both provide many benefits; they’re strong, durable and enhance your natural appearance while simultaneously protecting against future decay or injury to your teeth.
Crowns and Onlays generally last between five to 15 years with regular hygiene visits and professional advice from your dentist. We will advise patients of potential risks, such as grinding their teeth or chewing hard objects, that could shorten the lifespan of their crowns or onlays.
Prevention is always more beneficial than treatment. Regular brushing, flossing and dental examinations as recommended are great ways to protect yourself against dental decay and other potential issues that might arise in future. We at Forest Dental Care are always there for our customers when they require assistance for their dental needs.
