The Topic For Today Is:
Dental Crowns
A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface 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 restored by fillings or other types of restorations.
Crowns are full coverage restorations that are utilized to cover a tooth that is likely to break, or is too broken down to be restored with a filling. They are most frequently done after root canal treatments, or when a large filling wears out. The bigger the hole made by a cavity that needs to be treated, the more likely a crown will be required. Even after a filling is put in a big cavity, a tooth is more likely to break. Remember that the jaw muscles are the strongest in the body. Teeth go through incredible pressures. Crowns sit over the weakened tooth, providing strength and protecting the tooth against damage. A broken or cracked tooth is a much more severe matter and much more hard to treat. Crowns prevent this, as well as making for a good smile.
It takes 2 appointments to restore a tooth with a crown. In the very first appointment 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 making a crown. Between the two visits the crown is made, generally of high-strength porcelain over gold alloy, all ceramic product, or gold. A temporary crown is worn during this time. In the second visit this temporary crown is removed. Then the {permanent crown is adjusted as needed and then cemented in place.
Exactly What Does Getting A Crown Include?
A crown treatment normally requires two appointments. Your very first appointment will consist of taking impressions that will be used to produce your customized crown. A mold will also be used to develop a temporary crown which will remain on your tooth for approximately 2 weeks until your new crown is made by a dental laboratory.
While the tooth is numb, the dental practitioner will prepare the tooth by eliminating any decay and forming the surface to properly fit the crown. Once these details are achieved, your short-term crown will be put with short-term cement and your bite will be inspected to ensure you are biting appropriately.
At your second appointment your short-term crown will be removed, the tooth will be cleaned, and your new crown will be thoroughly positioned to guarantee the spacing and bite are accurate.
You will be given care directions and encouraged to have routine dental check ups to examine your crown. As always, correct oral hygiene will help extend the life of your new crown.
