FAQ
Severe fluorosis involves extensive brown staining, pitted enamel surfaces, and structural damage to teeth from excessive fluoride exposure during tooth development. Unlike mild fluorosis (white spots or streaks), severe cases significantly affect both appearance and tooth integrity, requiring comprehensive restoration rather than simple whitening treatments.
Zirconia crowns offer superior strength, durability, and natural aesthetics ideal for severe fluorosis treatment. They completely cover damaged tooth structure, provide long-lasting protection, resist staining, and deliver beautiful natural-looking results that simple treatments cannot achieve for severely affected teeth.
Yes, our streamlined protocol completes severe fluorosis treatment in two efficient visits. The first visit involves comprehensive planning, tooth preparation, and temporary crown placement. After 7-10 days for crown fabrication, the second visit involves permanent crown placement and final adjustments, typically completed within 2 weeks total.
With proper care and maintenance, zirconia crowns can last 15-20 years or longer. Their exceptional strength and resistance to wear make them an excellent long-term solution. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene, and avoiding extreme forces help maximize crown longevity.
Treatment is performed under local anesthesia ensuring complete comfort during procedures. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Temporary crowns protect prepared teeth between visits, and the final crown placement typically involves little to no discomfort.
Modern zirconia crowns are designed to look completely natural. We carefully match shade, translucency, and light-reflecting properties to your natural teeth or desired appearance. The smooth surface and precise craftsmanship ensure seamless integration with your smile, making them indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Absolutely! During consultation, we help you select the perfect shade for your new smile. You can choose to match your natural tooth color or opt for a brighter shade. We use professional shade guides and digital imaging to ensure you're completely satisfied with the color before fabrication begins.
Some initial sensitivity is normal and typically resolves within a few days to weeks as teeth adjust to crowns. If sensitivity persists or worsens, we evaluate the bite, crown fit, and underlying tooth health. Most sensitivity issues are easily resolved with minor adjustments or desensitizing treatments.
Treatment extent depends on fluorosis severity and distribution. Some patients need comprehensive treatment covering all visible teeth for uniform results, while others may only need crowns on severely affected teeth. We develop personalized treatment plans based on your specific condition and aesthetic goals.
Unfortunately, severe fluorosis cannot be effectively treated with whitening alone. The brown staining and structural damage penetrate deep into tooth structure, beyond what whitening can address. Crowns provide the only comprehensive solution for severe cases, completely covering damaged enamel with beautiful, durable restorations.
Any decay is treated before crown placement. This may involve fillings or root canal therapy if decay has reached the pulp. Addressing all oral health issues before restoration ensures optimal crown longevity and prevents complications. We provide comprehensive care addressing all aspects of your dental health.
Care for crowns like natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss daily, and attend regular dental check-ups. Avoid using teeth as tools, limit extremely hard foods, and wear a nightguard if you grind teeth. With proper care, zirconia crowns maintain their beauty and function for many years.
Yes, zirconia crowns restore full chewing function allowing you to eat normally. While you should avoid extremely hard foods like ice or hard candy that could damage any restoration, you can comfortably eat most foods including meat, vegetables, and typical daily fare without restrictions.
While rare with proper care, crown damage or loosening requires immediate attention. Contact us right away if you notice changes. Depending on the issue, we can re-cement loose crowns or replace damaged ones. Early intervention prevents further problems and ensures continued comfort and function.
Coverage varies by insurance plan and individual circumstances. Some plans cover restorative treatment when medically necessary due to structural damage, while others may consider it cosmetic. We help coordinate with insurance companies, provide necessary documentation, and offer transparent pricing regardless of coverage.
Treatment timing depends on tooth development and specific circumstances. For permanent teeth with severe fluorosis affecting quality of life, treatment may be appropriate for older children and teenagers. We evaluate each case individually, considering psychological impact, tooth development stage, and long-term implications.
We specialize in complex restoration cases with advanced zirconia crown technology, efficient two-visit protocols, comprehensive treatment planning, and natural-looking results. Dr. Vinod Bose's expertise combined with cutting-edge technology ensures superior outcomes. Our track record speaks through hundreds of successful fluorosis transformations.
Properly placed crowns support healthy gum tissue. We ensure crowns fit precisely at the gum line, avoiding irritation while protecting tooth structure. Initial gum sensitivity typically resolves quickly. Regular professional cleanings and good home care maintain healthy gums around crowns long-term.
Yes, we use digital smile design technology allowing you to preview expected results before beginning treatment. This ensures you're completely satisfied with the planned outcome regarding shade, shape, and overall appearance. We make adjustments to the plan based on your preferences before finalizing treatment.
