If you have a tooth that is cracked, decayed or broken, it’s important to repair it as soon as possible to prevent an infection or further decay. At Michel Dental, we can restore your tooth with a porcelain crown.

Porcelain crowns are like a cap for your tooth to protect it and prevent further damage. It helps to make your tooth functional and healthy once again. It will also keep your jaw and bite in alignment. The porcelain crown will fit over your tooth, covering the damaged portion and restoring your tooth.

We recommend porcelain crowns in most situations because they look the most natural. Your porcelain crown will be custom made and carefully crafted to blend in with the rest of your teeth. The material is also durable and will last a long time.

While we can treat your smile once problems arise, at Michel Dental we like to focus on preventative dentistry. Taking the time to care for your smile now can save you lots of hassle and problems in the future. This is as simple as making sure you visit us every six months for your checkup appointment.

The dental checkup is an integral part of preventative dentistry. We’ll thoroughly examine your entire smile, and use an intraoral camera to get a complete picture of the inside of your mouth. This technology allows us to fully examine your smile and be able to clearly see if there’s any potential issues with your teeth. This also allows us to clearly show you what’s going on with your smile so you fully understand any treatments you’re agreeing to.

We can also help you to review proper brushing and flossing techniques, and to address any questions or concerns that you might have. While visiting us twice a year might seem like a hassle, not going would leave your teeth susceptible to disease and decay.

Preventative dentistry plays an important role in your overall dental health. By visiting us regularly to make sure your teeth are clean and healthy, you’re helping to ensure the health of your teeth and giving us the opportunity to catch and correct small issues before they become a smile problem.
