When a tooth develops tooth decay or infection, treatment is needed to avoid worsening pain or the risk of a serious infection that reaches other parts of the smile. To treat the tooth, we can place a dental crown. Your mobile dentist can help people in San Bernardino, CA, receive a lifelike and durable dental restoration!
When Teeth Need a Restoration
When you have a family member in poor health who is confined to a nursing home or hospital room, or if they are unable to leave the house due to limited mobility, this could mean daily oral hygiene is difficult. Some people may not have the dexterity or memory to correctly brush and floss daily. This, combined with factors like age and certain medications that cause dry mouth, can lead to an increased risk of tooth decay and infection. To restore teeth and save them from being lost, and to stop discomfort, we could place a dental crown. With our mobile units, we can offer residents of San Bernardino and surrounding communities access to quality dental care at their bedside!
Placing Dental Crowns
The crown is a restoration that caps the tooth, covering the whole visible portion of it to take on minor and severe tooth decay, and to even aid in treating infection. If a tooth is damaged, this can repair the racks or chips to ensure an attractive appearance and also prevent the onset of tooth decay and infection. We could also take on severe discoloration, or even aid in tooth replacement by supporting a bridge or restoring a single tooth dental implant. Our mobile dentists will visit your family members at their San Bernardino home or assisted living facility with a portable operatory, with high-quality drills, suction, and air-water spray devices, the same available in a dentist’s office. We then prepare the teeth and take impressions, fabricating the custom crown and then return later for placement.
Protecting Your Family Member’s Smile
Our team can also discuss other ways to protect smiles, such as improvements in daily brushing and flossing regimens, better diet and health snack options, and we could visit for checkups and cleanings every six months too. These actions help people with limited dexterity and mobility issues obtain the care needed to ensure full and healthy smiles.
