Alternative to Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are used to repair or restore a tooth that is damaged by decay, disease or injury. A crown serves as a custom “cap” for the affected tooth, covering all its visible surfaces. In most cases, traditional methods of placing a dental crown require that a significant portion of the tooth be removed and reshaped. Unfortunately, this can include eliminating healthy tooth structure along with the damaged portion. As a leading biomimetic dentist, Dr. Nejad has helped countless patients avoid unnecessary dental crowns while saving their natural tooth structure.
Can Biomimetic Dentistry Help You Avoid a Crown?
Dr. Nejad is trained to examine your tooth damage through a different lens than most traditional dentists. He uses his extensive knowledge and training in holistic, biomimetic dentistry to consider ways to safely and effectively repair a damaged tooth without compromising its healthy tooth structure and performing invasive procedures.
Instead of a dental crown, which may cause undue stress and strain on the tooth and eventually demand a root canal or tooth removal, he may be able to restore the area of decay or damage with a custom filling, inlay or onlay. As a biomimetic dentist, he utilizes advanced dental materials and innovative adhesive techniques to produce conservative, long-lasting tooth restorations that are less likely to leak, fail or cause further tooth damage. Again, it takes his specialized skillset to go against the traditional approach of using a dental crown and provide a more natural and more sustainable solution for our patients.
