As a high-tech restorative and cosmetic dentist in the greater Long Island area, Dr. Ron Kaminer has a dedication to excellence, and that means that Dr. Kaminer wants your natural teeth to be at an excellent level of function, strength, and appearance for as long as possible.
A Restorative Dental Option to Restore Failing Teeth
One of the ways Dr. Kaminer helps his patients achieve this goal is with dental crowns. As a restorative procedure to save a tooth from decay or damage, such as cracks, chips, or severe trauma, a dental crown can restore durability, comfort, and attractiveness to a tooth that may seem unsalvageable.
Years ago, dental crowns were commonly made from gold and other heavy metals, but Dr. Kaminer places all-porcelain or composite resin dental crowns to maintain the integrity of an all-white smile.
Where High-Tech and Restorative Dentistry Meet
When a dental crown is needed to restore a decaying tooth, the decayed section must be removed before the crown can be placed. This is where Dr. Kaminer’s dental expertise sets him apart.
Using a high-tech dental laser, Dr. Kaminer will carefully clean the tooth in question with the added precision, comfort, and sterilization that only laser dentistry can provide.
Once the area is cleaned and sterilized, Dr. Kaminer will take an impression of your teeth to be used as the model for the fabrication process of your restoration. While your permanent crown is being fabricated, you will wear a durable temporary dental crown so that you can use your tooth normally.
Once Dr. Kaminer receives your permanent restoration, he will invite you to his Hewlett or Oceanside dentist office, place the crown, perform any necessary final adjustments to ensure the fit, comfort, function, and appearance of your restoration, and finally, secure your crown with expert care and technique.
The result: a beautiful, strong replacement tooth that, with the proper dental care and hygiene, can remain healthy and intact for years to come.
