Today's Topic Has To Do With:
Dental Crowns
A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface area restoring it to its initial shape and size. A crown protects and reinforces the tooth structure providing the tooth a longer life span than it would have if brought back by fillings or other kinds of restorations.
Crowns are full coverage restorations that are utilized to cover a tooth that is most likely to break, or is too broken down to be restored with a filling. They are most commonly done after root canal treatments, or when a huge filling wears out. The bigger the hole made by a cavity that needs to be treated, the more likely a crown will be needed. Even after a filling is put in a huge cavity, a tooth is more likely to break. Remember that the jaw muscles are the strongest in the body. Teeth are subjected to incredible pressures. Crowns sit over the weakened tooth, providing strength and protecting the tooth against damage. A broken or split tooth is a far more severe matter and far more hard to treat. Crowns prevent this, in addition to producing a nice smile.
It takes two appointments to recover a tooth with a crown. In the first visit any decay is removed from the tooth and it is formed to accept the crown. Then an impression is made of the tooth for use in producing a crown. In between the two visits the crown is made, typically of high-strength porcelain over gold alloy, all ceramic material, or gold. A temporary crown is worn during this time. In the second visit this short-term crown is removed. Then the {permanent crown is adjusted as needed then cemented in place.
What Does Getting A Crown Involve?
A crown procedure usually needs two visits. Your first visit will consist of taking impressions that will be used to create your custom crown. A mold will also be used to create a temporary crown which will remain on your tooth for approximately two weeks up until your new crown is produced by a dental laboratory.
While the tooth is numb, the dental practitioner will prepare the tooth by getting rid of any decay and forming the surface area to properly fit the crown. Once these details are achieved, your short-term crown will be positioned with short-term cement and your bite will be examined to guarantee you are biting correctly.
At your 2nd visit your short-term crown will be removed, the tooth will be cleaned, and your new crown will be thoroughly placed to ensure the spacing and bite are accurate.
You will be given care guidelines and encouraged to have routine dental check ups to check your crown. As always, appropriate oral hygiene will help extend the life of your new crown.
