Dental Crowns
A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface area restoring it to its original sizes and shape. A crown protects and reinforces the tooth structure giving the tooth a longer life span than it would have if restored by fillings or other kinds 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 recovered with a filling. They are most frequently done after root canal treatments, or when a big filling wears out. The bigger the hole made by a cavity that has to be treated, the more likely a crown will be required. Even after a filling is put in a large cavity, a tooth is more likely to break. Remember that the jaw muscles are the strongest in the human body. Teeth undergo remarkable pressures. Crowns ride over the weakened tooth, providing strength and protecting the tooth against damage. A broken or split tooth is a much more serious matter and far more difficult to treat. Crowns prevent this, as well as producing a nice smile.
It takes 2 visits to recover a tooth with a crown. In the first appointment 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 producing a crown. In between the two visits the crown is made, generally 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 treatment generally needs 2 visits. Your very first appointment will consist of taking impressions that will be utilized to create your customized crown. A mold will also be used to create a temporary crown which will remain on your tooth for roughly 2 weeks until your brand-new crown is fabricated by a dental lab.
While the tooth is numb, the dental practitioner will prepare the tooth by eliminating any decay and shaping the surface area to effectively fit the crown. When these details are accomplished, your temporary crown will be positioned with temporary cement and your bite will be checked to guarantee you are biting appropriately.
At your 2nd visit your temporary crown will be removed, the tooth will be cleaned, and your brand-new crown will be thoroughly positioned to guarantee the spacing and bite are accurate.
You will be given care directions and encouraged to have regular dental visits to examine your crown. As always, proper oral hygiene will help extend the life of your new crown.
