Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a cap-like dental appliance that fits over a tooth. It looks exactly like a real tooth as it is made up of tooth colored ceramic material. Crowns are used to restore teeth that are badly damaged and require an aesthetic makeover.
Are you an ideal candidate for crowns?
Crowns can be used to treat a variety of dental issues. Patients with the following conditions would be ideal candidates for crowns.
What is the procedure for getting a crown?
Getting a crown would require a few visits to the dentist’s office. Initially, your dentist would examine your teeth and check for any signs of infection, cavities, injuries, and underlying issues. Next, x-rays of your mouth may have to be taken to check for any cracks, bone deterioration, wear of the teeth, etc. and to determine the exact positioning of the crown.
Next, the tooth receiving the crown would have to be prepared before a mold is taken. For this, the teeth are thoroughly cleaned and the tooth is buffed gently to remove a thin layer of the enamel. This creates a spacing for the crown to be bonded on to the tooth. A highly precise mold is taken by the dentist and sent to a laboratory for manufacturing the crown, where dental grade ceramic will be used for this purpose.
Until the permanent crown is fabricated, which may take a few days’ time, a temporary crown may be recommended by the dentist. It will be fitted in place with the help of mild adhesives and removed once the permanent crown is available. The permanent crown will firmly be bonded on to the surface of the tooth with the help of adhesives or dental cement. The dentist checks for perfect fit and comfort and finally polishes it to provide the best aesthetics.
