At the beginning of your treatment, your hygienist will deeply clean your chompers with special tools and techniques that remove the dangerous substances from the surfaces of your smile, like plaque and tartar. This is a beneficial treatment because it reduces your chances of falling victim to tooth decay and gum disease. Next, they will check your teeth and gums and look for any signs of trouble. Then, they will floss the nooks and crannies of your smile and will remove any plaque and food particles that live there. Finally, they will polish your teeth with a polishing treatment that will remove the surface stains from your smile.

At the end of your visit, Dr. Khashayar Khomejany will examine your entire mouth and look for any signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and enamel erosion. If they sees any signs, they will discuss your treatment options with you to help you strengthen your smile and oral health. In addition to this exam, they will also perform an oral cancer screening, which will involve inspecting your mouth and throat for signs of oral or pharyngeal cancer.

Now that you know the steps involved in your treatment, there is no need to be nervous or stressed. As you can see, your appointment should be easy and painless.

As well as covering a tooth that is damaged, weakened or discolored, our porcelain dental crown can be used to help a tooth’s shape or appearance to look more attractive, and also to keep the bite healthy as a crown prevents the teeth from shifting.

Our porcelain dental crowns are created to match your own pearly whites, making them a natural-looking replacement. The life of a dental crown can run anywhere between five to fifteen years, depending on the amount of stress you place on it and how well you care for your oral health in general. Taking excellent care of your crown means staying on top of your oral health which includes:

1. Brushing at least twice a day
2. Flossing daily at least once (particularly around the crown area where your gums reach the tooth)
3. Avoiding hard foods, biting your fingernails and grinding and clenching your teeth
4. Keeping up with routine professional dental cleanings and exams

Do you have a damaged or missing tooth that may benefit from wearing a dental crown? If so, Dr. Sean and Dr. Sepi in Vallejo, California, are here to help restore your smile in just one visit.
