Dental Crowns

At Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, our doctors may recommend Dental Crowns, CO for numerous reasons including protecting a weak tooth from fracturing, to replace a large filling when there isn’t enough portion of the tooth remaining, to attach a bridge, or to cover a dental implant. Besides strengthening a damaged tooth, a crown can be used to improve its appearance, shape, or alignment. In the case that you ever need a dental crown, we’d like to take this opportunity to explain the process.

There are several types of materials that may be used for a crown, but those will be discussed during your consultation. During your first visit in preparation for your crown, X-rays will be taken to check the roots of the tooth receiving the crown and to observe the surrounding bone. If the tooth cannot support a crown, it may need to be filed down. Alternatively, if the tooth is damaged by decay, it may need to be filled to make it large enough to fit the crown. By the end of the first visit, your tooth will have a temporary crown that protects it until the final one is ready to be permanently placed.  When the permanent crown is ready, you will have a second visit.

Oral Cancer Screening

The word cancer refers to changes in the body’s cells that cause them to grow out of control. Oral cancer is particularly dangerous, because in its early stages it may not be noticed by the patient. To prevent cancer of the oral cavity, Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO recommends Oral Cancer Screening, CO to patients to look for signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in the mouth.

The goal of oral cancer screening is to identify mouth cancer early when there is a greater chance for a cure. People who are at risk for oral cancer include tobacco users, heavy alcohol consumers, and those who like to soak up the sun since significant sun exposure increases the risk of lip cancer. The oral cancer screening test is performed by your dentist and uses an ultraviolet light or similar device that allows him or her to view issues that aren’t normally detected by the human eye. It’s important to remember, just because your dentist recommends an oral cancer screening it does not mean you have or are at risk of cancer.

If you would like to inquire about oral cancer screening, please give us a call. To learn more about services we provide at the practice, visit Dentist Parker, CO for more information. To schedule an appointment with one of our doctors at Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, call 720-459-8420.
