Sometimes, a tooth crown may need adjustments to ensure your bite is comfortable and functioning correctly.
Your Northborough dentist, a skilled professional, will choose the best way to adjust your crown without damaging the porcelain, which may or may not include drilling. They may be able to make incremental adjustments by sanding or smoothing the crown.
When to Have Your Crown Adjusted
If you're experiencing discomfort when biting or chewing your food, your crown may be causing your bite to be off. Take control of your dental health and contact your dentist for an adjustment.
If your crown becomes worn or chipped, it may need smoothing or an adjustment.
You also may notice wear or your crown not fitting properly if it's at the end of its lifespan, which tends to be 12 to 15 years for porcelain crowns.
Temperature sensitivity may also indicate that your crown needs attention. If you experience tooth sensitivity, don't wait to contact your dentist.
