Cosmetic and Restorative Care with Custom Dental Crowns

March 21, 2014

Dental CrownDo you have a cracked, broken, or badly decayed tooth? Talk to Dr. Renee Corbitt of Fort Worth about cosmetic and restorative care with a dental crown. Using a dental crown, it’s possible to restore both the appearance and functionality of a compromised tooth.

Crowns have been made from a wide variety of materials throughout the years, but the most common material in use today is porcelain. Why? Because of how natural it looks. Porcelain has a luminescence and translucence that mimics the look of natural enamel. When your finished crown is resting side-by-side with your existing teeth, no one will know the difference. As a result, instead of feeling self-conscious, you’ll come away from our Fort Worth dental office feeling confident and healthy.

For teeth with significant decay, crowns are a particularly good treatment option. While fillings bond with a tooth’s surface, dental crowns cover the tooth and become its new outer surface. What’s more, your crown will be carefully made in a lab by a professional technician, with an accurate dental impression as a guide. You can trust that your finished crown will match your tooth and fit comfortably.

Children’s Dentistry for Fort Worth and Beyond

February 14, 2014

children's dentistryAt what age does a child need to start seeing a dentist? As soon as she gets her first tooth. Most children start developing baby teeth between 6-12 months. Once that happens, your child is just as vulnerable to tooth decay and gum disease as you are.

Visits with our Fort Worth pediatric dentist will help your son or daughter enjoy better protection from the most common oral health problems. What’s more, we can use these appointments to start teaching your child about brushing and flossing. The goal is to create good memories and good habits that will stay with your little one throughout life and encourage him or her to put an emphasis on oral hygiene.

One way our Fort Worth pediatric dentist does this is by using simple, pleasant words to talk to your child about her smile. Another way we do it is by partnering with you. To help your child build healthy habits, we need your help at home. Make brushing and flossing something you all do together. You can also give your little one a toothbrush that plays music to make the experience more fun. Taking caring of your teeth doesn’t have to be boring; it can be fun!

Does your child have her first tooth yet? Call Dr. Corbitt’s Fort Worth dental office to schedule a first visit. We want to help you and your little one navigate this transitional period in life. We offer children’s dentistry to young patients from Fort Worth and surrounding communities.
