Dental Makeover Dentist Offers Teaneck Residents Timeless Results to Achieve a Flawless Smile

BOGOTA, NJ, November 19, 2010 (Press-News.org) For Teaneck residents looking for a beautiful smile, tooth crowns are one of the most successful ways to achieve that desirable result. All at the same time, dental crowns can strengthen and protected teeth from a high risk of future dental caries. Many Bergen County residents find themselves with teeth that are no longer structurally sound. When the entire surface of the tooth is a problem, but the root system is intact, a crown might be just what Dr. Sherzoy orders. Teaneck, NJ residents have turn to one of New Jersey's talented cosmetic dentist who is an expert on crown procedures, Dr. Sherzoy.

Typically, the dental crown procedure is completed in two stages. During the first stage, the dentist removes portions of your natural tooth's structure to accommodate the dental crown. Surrounding teeth may also be prepared in this way. An impression is made and sent to the lab, where your dental crown is created in about two weeks. A temporary crown will be in place between visits to ensure the most natural look and feel. When you return to the dentist's office, the temporary crown is removed and your new, custom dental crown is securely bonded in place.

Dr. Sherzoy explains, "While a crowned tooth does not require any special care, remember that simply because a tooth is crowned does not mean the underlying tooth is protected from decay or gum disease. Therefore, continue to follow good oral hygiene practices, including brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing once a day-especially around the crown area where the gum meets the tooth."

On average, dental crowns last between 5 and 15 years. The life span of a crown depends on the amount of wear and tear the crown is exposed to, how well you follow good oral hygiene practices, and your personal mouth-related habits (you should avoid such habits as grinding your teeth, chewing ice, biting your fingernails, and using your teeth to open packaging).
