Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are caps that are affixed to broken teeth. When fillings are ineffective, crowns are utilised to protect, cover, and restore the contour of your teeth. Metals, porcelain, resin, and ceramics can all be used to create dental crowns. Over time, they normally only need frequent, decent oral hygiene and no extra maintenance.
About dental crowns
What is a dental crown, exactly?
An artificial tooth made of hollow material called a dental crown is created to fit over your natural tooth after it has been sculpted and trimmed. The crown restores the shape, colour, and function of your tooth by completely encasing and “capitalising” it down to the gum line.
Process
The dental crown, which covers the visible part of the tooth, is affixed to your teeth with cement.
Consultation
The tooth that will get the crown is evaluated and prepped during the initial appointment. The tooth and the bone surrounding it are X-rayed. In order to prepare for the placement of your dental crown, your dentist may need to perform a root canal.
Treatment
Dental crowns are “caps” that fit over your teeth and have the shape of teeth. Imagine it as a snug-fitting cap for your tooth. The crown gives the tooth back its original size, shape, strength, and look.
Check up
Typically, patients need to schedule checkup sessions twice a year, albeit it will depend on the particular circumstances. These examinations provide a dentist the chance to carefully inspect the crown and look for any indications that there might be an issue with it or the neighbouring teeth.
Recovery
Following the insertion of a dental crown, there is normally a few days of recuperation time. Following the surgery, patients can suffer some inflammation, sensitivity, and discomfort, but these adverse effects should go away in a week or two.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How long will my crown be valid for?
A. When taken care of properly, porcelain crowns can last up to 20 years and typically last at least 15 years. You may anticipate your crown to last a very long time because the porcelain ceramic materials used to construct it are incredibly strong and hard, much like your enamel.
Q. Why are Dental Crowns Necessary?
A. Dental crowns are used to treat diseased teeth following root canal procedures, to restore teeth that have been fractured or cracked due to oral trauma, and to treat teeth that are too deteriorated to be treated with fillings. Contact Shine Dental to schedule a consultation with Dr. Katelyn Miller to determine whether a dental crown is the best option for you.
Q. what type of care should I give to a new dental crown?
A. A dental crown can be cared for the same way as a real tooth. Be sure to floss once a day, brush twice a day, and visit Dr. Miller for a teeth cleaning and oral examination every six months.
