LEARN ABOUT DENTAL CROWNS

Dental crowns are one of the most reliable solutions to restore appearance and function of your damaged teeth caused by caries, accident, fracture or wear. A dental crown is an artificial shell, which is usually fabricated of porcelain or porcelain fused to metal, that entirely covers or “caps” the damaged natural tooth. Dental crowns are typically used to strengthen damaged teeth, but in many occasions dental crowns are also a right option to fix badly shaped, badly aligned or discolored teeth. As dental crowns are permanently placed onto your teeth, they offer stability that removable prostheses fail to provide.

ALL PORCELAIN CROWN

As suggested by its name, this type of crown is totally metal-free. Technological advances help us make dental crowns out of pure porcelain or other ceramics. All porcelain crowns supported by the advanced bonding technology are strong enough to properly function even in the molar region where chewing forces are greater. The best thing about all-porcelain crowns is that, because no metal base is needed, they are able to provide the required translucency which enhances the most natural look and extreme esthetics. All porcelain crowns help create your spectacular, natural-looking smile without sacrificing the strength and durability.

 

PORCELAIN FUSED TO METAL CROWN

This type of crown uses metal as a foundation for porcelain. A metal base provides significant strength while porcelain gives a tooth-like appearance. However, a metal base sometimes gives an undesirable grey or dull look to your smile, especially under bright lights. Porcelain fused to metal crown can be a good choice for your back teeth.

IT JUST TAKES TWO VISITS

Initial appointment four important steps needs to be done

• an informed discussion with your dentist, after this you will be able to decide which type of crown you want to go for. Oral examination and X-ray also needs to be done before a treatment.
• your tooth is filed down in order to make room for a dental crown
• once your tooth has been appropriately shaped, impressions are taken and sent to a dental laboratory.
• a temporary crown is cemented over your tooth to give protection while your dental crown is being fabricated. While you are wearing a temporary crown, try to keep away from sticky food or hard food as you do not want to dislodge your temporary crown. It is okay to eat on the other side while you are waiting for your permanent crown.

Second appointment happens when the permanent crown is sent back from the dental lab

• a crown’s fit, shape and color is evaluated.
• the temporary crown is taken off and your permanent crown is then cemented in place.
• the crown is adjusted for a perfect fit and function.

AFTER A CROWN

You may experience some of these problems after your dental crown is cemented in place:
Sensitivity to hot /cold food and beverages
The location of this sensitivity is usually at the edge of the crown, by the gum line. This problem is nothing to worry about and can be easily fixed by avoiding any extreme temperature change and using a tube of toothpaste for sensitive teeth. However, if the sensitivity still exists after a few weeks, you should contact your dentist for further evaluation.

Discomfort when you bite
If you do not feel quite right when you bite down or when you slide your teeth from side to side, there probably be some high spots in your newly inserted crown. Your dentist can fix this easily by grinding down your dental crown. This kind of problem should be dealt with properly since it could lead to serious consequences concerning the nerve of your tooth. A re-check visit might be necessary to take care of this problem.
