Bothell Crowns Patients Love the Natural Looking Materials & The Precise Fit

If you are experiencing moderate to severe local pain emanating from a particular tooth with excessive decay you need to see a dentist. Bothell crowns dentist Wendy Crisafulli can recommend a crown or a bridge as an ideal solution.

A crown is an all-porcelain covering designed to keep your tooth alive by protecting the root. Crowns are the most versatile, strong and stable restorative device available to modern dentistry. A bridge is a dental device that replaces one or more missing, extracted or knocked-out teeth.

By anchoring to adjacent teeth, a bridge can restore proper occlusal pressure and reestablish a solid chewing surface. The excellent predictability of these devices enable us to repair serious cracks, finalize implants and defend surrounding teeth against future decay.

Bothell crowns dentist Wendy Crisafulli can complete your crown or bridge in two visits. Coming out of these procedures, our patients often comment that their apprehension was greatly overblown. They experience no pain after the initial or the final visit.

Dr. Crisafulli believes in the very best materials and a precise fit. If you want an expert, gentle hand, we invite you to call our practice and schedule an appointment.

Excellent Methods - Exemplary Results

The actual process of crowning and bridge-building is the most important determining factor in the success or failure of your dental work. Dr. Crisafulli's 25 years of experience as a Bothell dentist plays a significant role here.

After impressions and digital radiography, we take the time to clean and prepare your teeth, disinfecting all materials to ensure a sterile environment. Using a gentle air abrasion technique, we remove all decay using three newer technologies called "Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA)", "Isolite®" and "Oraverse" to maximize your comfort during the process.

• STA - allows us to administer numbing medicine on premolars in a very specific area
• Isolite - a dryfield illuminator that protects your tongue during a procedure
• Oraverse - reverses the effects of anesthetic so you can feel, speak, smile and eat normally in about half the time

You go home with a temporary crown or bridge for several weeks. This gives you an opportunity to "test-run" the fit, feel and appearance of your restoration. During your second visit, Bothell dentist Wendy Crisafulli places the final lab-created crown or bridge. The restoration is either all porcelain, full gold or porcelain fused to a gold base.

If your dental health can be improved with a crown or bridge, or if your smile can use a quick makeover with dental bonding, don’t hesitate to call our office and discuss your options with Bothell dental expert Wendy Crisafulli.
