Why Choose Beam Dental

Our dedicated team of dentists, implant specialists, hygienists, and care specialists in Flushing, NY, works together to create a convenient dental experience.

Everyone deserves a healthy and confident smile, but accidents or decay can sometimes stand in the way. Fortunately, restorative dentistry at our Flushing office offers several effective ways to return your teeth to their best condition. Whether you have a minor fracture or significant decay, we provide custom solutions designed to look natural and feel comfortable.

We offer three primary types of restorations depending on the level of damage:

  • Dental Crowns: These are designed to cover the entire visible portion of a tooth, providing essential protection for teeth that are severely weakened or broken.
  • Dental Inlays: If you have damage on the biting surface that is too extensive for a standard filling but doesn't require a full crown, an inlay is often the ideal choice.
  • Dental Onlays: Sometimes referred to as "partial crowns," onlays cover a larger area than inlays, including one or more of the tooth's cusps, to restore functional strength.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a crown instead of a filling?

A filling is generally used for minor cavities to prevent further decay. A crown is necessary when a tooth is severely damaged, fractured, or has such extensive decay that it requires structural support to function normally again.

How can I make my crown or inlay last as long as possible?

To maximize the lifespan of your restoration, avoid grinding your teeth or chewing on hard objects like fingernails and pens. If you play contact sports, wearing a protective mouthguard is essential.

What should I expect after the restoration is placed?

Your mouth may feel slightly tender, and you might notice some temporary gum inflammation. These symptoms typically resolve quickly, and we will provide you with advice on managing any initial post-procedure sensitivity.

Does the procedure for a dental crown hurt?

It is common to feel a little nervous, but you should only experience minor discomfort during the process. We use a numbing agent to ensure the area is comfortable before the crown is placed.
