Probably the top reason why people consider dental crowns is to get a pleasant appearance of a full set of teeth. Having missing or chipped teeth can make someone lose their confidence. Crowns appear very natural and can be used to fix dental problems without making it look so obvious.
Quick And Simple Procedure
The procedure of placing dental crowns is considered very simple and easy. Most dentists are able to do it within just two visits. During the initial visit, the dentist will take a mold of your tooth than needs the crown and then use it to design a special crown for it. The permanent dental crown is usually placed on the tooth during the second visit after the affected tooth has been filed down. The procedure of filing the tooth where the implant will be placed is done under local anesthetic so it’s very quick and painless. A reputable dentist is able to make the dental crown appear very natural by matching the color and texture to your original teeth.
Different Types of Crowns
Materials Used For Making Dental Crowns
Dental crowns can be made using different materials. The most common are porcelain crowns and composite crowns. A dentist should be able to recommend the type of crowns that are suitable for you depending on the situation. Porcelain crowns are used more often because they appear very natural. The major drawback of porcelain crowns is that they can easily chip so they need to be placed on the back teeth. Composite crowns are also ideal because they can mimic the look of natural teeth. However, composite dental crowns can wear off quickly exposing your teeth to stains.
Ways To Cover Missing or Chipped Teeth
Your dentist may recommend a dental bridge especially if you have a number of teeth that need to be covered at once. The dental bridges will be placed after at least two visits just like the process of inserting dental crowns. With dental bridges, the teeth than need restoration will be covered fully and the procedure also uses a local anesthetic to prevent the patient from feeling any pain. Work with a reputable dentist to identify the procedure that best suits your case.
