Need a new crown? You may need a new dentist!
Today’s dental patients demand a full range of crown options that combine natural beauty, low cost, and strength. Fortunately for dental patients, the technology of dentistry has undergone some amazing changes recently that allow their demands to be met. Therefore, it is essential that your dentist is capable of offering you the full range of modern dental options available.
If you are a Windward Oahu resident who is looking for a Kaneohe or Kailua dentist for a crown, there are many choices. How can you find a Windward dentist who is capable of providing crowns that are both beautiful and best suited to your needs? The following suggestions and considerations should help.
1. Check out a potential dentist’s website. For most people in our technology based modern society, websites are the primary source of information about a business. A dentist who doesn’t provide a quality, informative website simply isn’t keeping up with the needs of potential patients. If a dentist doesn’t have a website, he or she may not be keeping up with other modern technology, perhaps, even dental technology. A beautiful website with useful information about a dentist and his or her practice is an indication of professional pride and a desire to communicate with consumers.
2. Research the reputation of potential dentists. Your friends and neighbors are excellent resources, but the Internet provides instant access to information about dentists without all the chitchat. In just a few clicks, reviews by Google, Yelp, and Rateadentist.com provide a simple easy way to compare dentists based on the experiences of others.
3. Ask what crown alternatives a potential dentist offers. Your dentist should be able to let you know what type of material he or she intends to use for your crown. You may not care if your new crown will be a shiny metal. In that case, you are an excellent candidate for a gold crown. However, if you want all of your teeth to look like teeth, your dentist should be able to provide you a tooth colored alternative for every tooth in your mouth. In the past, dentists suggested gold for molars because it could be made thin and strong. However, dentists now have many high tech ceramic materials available, such as zirconia, that have excellent strength and lifelike appearance even in the most demanding situations.
4. Ask a potential dentist if the crown can be custom shade matched. This is especially important for crowns that are visible when you smile or talk.
5. Ask a potential dentist about a satisfaction guarantee. Crowns provide mechanical improvements for teeth. A crown’s shape and color is all about the artwork. Not everyone likes Picasso! Your dentist should assure you that, when it comes to appearance, it’s your opinion that matters and that you will have the final say before the crown is permanently cemented.
