Dental crowns from your favorite dentist will give you at least three benefits:
• You will protect your teeth from further damage,
• You will have better bite and
• You will have a more captivating smile.
Needless to say, you will look better and more confident.
A dental crown is a cap that your dentist will fit over the remaining part of your damaged tooth.
Why do you need a dental crown?
• You may have had a root canal treatment, so you need to protect your treated tooth from bacterial contamination.
• Your tooth fillings may have been discoloured and you want to make them appear naturally white and clean.
• Your tooth may have been broken or damaged and you want to protect it from further damage.
• You may want to keep your denture or bridge securely in place.
How is a dental crown fitted?
• First, your dentist will shape your damaged tooth and prepare it for the overlaying of the dental crown.
• Then your dentist will take an impression of your tooth using a moulding material. The dentist will also do color matching to ensure that your crown will have the same color as your adjacent teeth. The dentist will then send the mould and color match for crown manufacture.
• While waiting for the crown to be made, usually for two to three weeks, your prepared tooth will be protected with a temporary crown.
• Finally, your dentist will remove the temporary crown and then replace it with the permanent dental crown by using dental bond.
