DENTAL CROWNS

 

Dental Crown Procedure:

Dental crowns provide aesthetic improvement to your smile, replacing natural teeth and ensuring compatibility with the mouth, jaw, face, and bone structure. They can be used for one or more teeth and are fixed with the gingiva without a palate.

Types of Crowns:

  • Porcelain Crowns: Solid material that replaces the tooth, providing permanent whiteness and durability. They are used for broken or cracked teeth and those placed on implants.

Procedure:

  1. Preparation: Any existing issues like caries are addressed to ensure no damage is caused.
  2. Preparatory Treatments: Root canal treatment, solving gingival problems, cleaning tooth decay, and making fillings if necessary.
  3. Tooth Preparation: The teeth to be crowned are filed 360 degrees.
  4. Color Selection: The patient chooses the color of the crowns, and molds are sent to the laboratory.
  5. Temporary Prostheses: Temporary prostheses are used until the fixed crowns are ready.
  6. Placement: After one week, the prepared crowns are mechanically and chemically placed.

Aftercare:

  • Avoid hard foods until the teeth adapt.
  • Continue with annual dental check-ups.
  • Brush teeth twice a day and use dental floss to remove food residues.

Full Porcelain Crown Teeth without Metal:

  • Porcelain crowns are prepared in the laboratory to cover the tooth 360 degrees.
  • Zirconium porcelain crowns closely resemble natural tooth structure, providing a sharp and deep appearance without blackness or artificial look.

FAQs:

  1. Natural Appearance: Yes, crowns are made to match the color of your natural teeth.
  2. Materials Used: Crowns can be made from ceramic, porcelain, and gold alloys, among others. Your dentist will recommend the best material for you.
