Dental Crowns
A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the whole tooth surface area restoring it to its initial sizes and shape. A crown protects and reinforces the tooth structure providing the tooth a longer life span than it would have if recovered by fillings or other types of restorations.
Crowns are full coverage restorations that are used to cover a tooth that is likely to break, or is too broken down to be brought back with a filling. They are most typically done after root canal treatments, or when a large filling wears out. The larger the hole made by a cavity that has to be treated, the more likely a crown will be needed. Even after a filling is put in a large cavity, a tooth is most likely to break. Keep in mind that the jaw muscles are the strongest in the human body. Teeth undergo incredible pressures. Crowns sit over the weakened tooth, offering strength and securing the tooth against breakage. A broken or cracked tooth is a much more severe matter and far more tough to treat. Crowns prevent this, as well as producing a good smile.
It takes 2 appointments to restore a tooth with a crown. In the first visit any decay is eliminated from the tooth and it is formed to accept the crown. Then an impression is made of the tooth for use in fabricating a crown. Between the two visits the crown is made, typically of high-strength porcelain over gold alloy, all ceramic product, or gold. A short-term crown is used throughout this time. In the 2nd visit this temporary crown is removed. Then the {permanent crown is adjusted as needed and after that cemented in place.
Exactly What Does Getting A Crown Involve?
A crown procedure typically needs 2 visits. Your first visit will consist of taking impressions that will be utilized to produce your custom crown. A mold will also be used to develop a temporary crown which will remain on your tooth for around 2 weeks until your new crown is produced by a dental laboratory.
While the tooth is numb, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and forming the surface to properly fit the crown. When these details are accomplished, your temporary crown will be positioned with temporary cement and your bite will be examined to ensure you are biting correctly.
At your 2nd visit your temporary crown will be removed, the tooth will be cleaned, and your brand-new crown will be carefully positioned to guarantee the spacing and bite are precise.
You will be given care instructions and encouraged to have routine dental visits to examine your crown. As always, correct oral hygiene will help extend the life of your brand-new crown.
