Lulu Pearl Smile Dentistry<\/h2><\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]Have disease, decay, or injury left you with a dispirited smile? Many patients who struggle with missing or damaged teeth are reluctant to share their smiles with others. Worse still, when your teeth, jaw, or bite (how your teeth fit together) are not functioning properly, you could experience pain and the inability to eat a balanced, nourishing diet. A strong smile could be more important to overall health than you might think. Studies show that dental disease contributes to numerous whole-body health complications, including heart attack, stroke, respiratory problems, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Lulu Pearl Smile Dentistry, our goal is preserving good dental health through preventive care, but sometimes a smile first needs repair. When patients visit us with needs, no matter how complex, we will renew smiles back to integrity and full function. What types of services will we provide in your situation? The answer greatly depends on your situation, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution, but your customized treatment plan may include tooth-colored fillings or crowns, ultra-secure dental implants to anchor a single replacement tooth, a bridge, or a denture, or root canal procedure to save a tooth that has become infected.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”1447″ img_size=”1920×1280″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Some patients we see for restorative services have avoided the dentist for many years because of anxiety or a previous negative experience at a dental office. If this is you, rest assured that our team is very sensitive to your fears, and will approach your care with a gentle and understanding manner.\u00a0We also offer nitrous oxide as well as I.V. sedation to allow a more relaxing and rewarding experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

      No.\u00a0 A crown is indicated when a large percentage of the original tooth has been lost to decay and\/or fracture. Fillings are appropriate when a tooth has a small cavity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Often, when an old silver filling is removed, those small enamel fractures extend deeper into the tooth. Internal cracks if left uncovered, can result in breakage of large tooth chunks. If your tooth is crowned or \u201ccapped,\u201d it is protected from breakage.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Does a CEREC\u00ae crown work on a root-canal tooth?” tab_id=”1582160287103-a167e40a-3b89″][vc_column_text]Yes.\u00a0 Root-canal teeth are very brittle.\u00a0 Without a crown to protect it, you are 50% more likely to suffer a disastrous tooth fracture which may require gum surgery to restore, or necessitate tooth removal altogether!\u00a0\u00a0 A post and core for strength and retention can be incorporated into the\u00a0CEREC\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0crown design for an all-in-one treatment of a root canal tooth.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
