dental crownWe don’t need to tell you that dentistry has come a long, long way over the years. There was a time when the only way to maintain oral health in the case of a severely decayed or damaged tooth was extraction. Today, that same tooth can be saved with a dental crown. But wait—there’s more! Until recently a crown required two separate visits to the dentist spaced about two weeks apart. Now, with the CEREC one-visit crown equipment, Drs. Doug and Doug Clark can give your tooth a crown in just a matter of hours. So, for a dental crown, Superior residents know to call on the dentists at Hill Avenue Dental.

78768689Accidents don’t make appointments that’s for sure, because they always seem to happen at the worst possible time. If the accident you’re dealing with happens to be a fractured or otherwise damaged tooth, you may not have the time to sit through several appointments. Fortunately, Hill Avenue Dental in Superior, WI, offers CEREC One-Visit Crowns, so your tooth can be repaired and you can be on your way in as little time as possible.

When you have a tooth that is cracked or severely decayed, the interior of the tooth—known as the pulp—becomes exposed to the bacteria in your mouth. It doesn’t take long for this bacteria to settle in and cause infection. To prevent this from happening, it becomes imperative to repair the tooth in order avoid further damage or even loss of the tooth.

With CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economic Restorations of Esthetic Ceramics, Dr. Doug Clark, Jr. or Dr. Doug Clark III can place a crown in a single appointment. The CEREC equipment includes a digital infrared camera that takes an optical impression of your damaged tooth, 3-D CAD software that designs the crown, and a milling unit that fabricates the restoration.

The digital impression is entered into the CEREC computer. The system then makes a virtual model of your tooth, including shape, size, surface grooves and color. The design is wirelessly transmitted to our milling unit, which creates your porcelain or composite crown in as little as 20 minutes.

Once the crown is finished and inspected by the dentist, it is checked for fit and then cemented into place.

The leaves are turning and fall is here. That means Thanksgiving and Christmas must be just around the corner. Do the gatherings and parties that go along with the holiday season make you more self-conscious of your teeth? Now is the time to take action. If you have broken or missing teeth, then Dr. Doug Clark, Jr. and Dr. Doug Clark, III at Hill Avenue Dental are the dentists in Superior, WI, who can give you a new smile with crown and bridge therapy.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown, also called a dental cap, encases an existing tooth that has been damaged. The crown preserves the functionality of the tooth and prevents further damage from happening to the tooth. Crowns are designed to look like your own teeth, so your smile will be beautiful and always look natural. These restorative wonders are the choice of many patients and dentists for cracked or otherwise fractured teeth; to protect a tooth that has had a root canal; and to secure a fixed bridge in place.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth. Usually, bridges require that teeth on either side of the missing tooth be reshaped to accommodate a crown. Dr. Clark or Dr. Clark will carefully examine these teeth to make sure they are healthy and sturdy enough to anchor a bridge. Once this determination is made and once the crowns are in position, they will support the bridge that holds the artificial tooth, called a pontic, in place of the missing tooth. Bridges are used to replace one missing tooth or a row of teeth.

Dr. Clark and Dr. Clark at Hill Avenue Dental are the dentists in Superior, WI, who have the expertise to repair damaged and missing teeth with crowns and bridges, so your smile is the most attractive one you can have for the holiday season.
