What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown helps preserve the tooth’s remaining structure in cases where the tooth has sustained a significant fracture. A dental crown, commonly referred to as a cap, is a restoration that is put on top of a fractured, cracked, highly filled, or root-filled tooth to prevent further fracture. A crown is far more durable than a filling if a large portion of a tooth is lost due to dental disease.
A dental crown can restore a tooth if a significant amount of the tooth is removed or becomes discoloured during root canal therapy. The placement of a crown over worn or damaged teeth can protect patients who grind their teeth. Crowns can also be used cosmetically to enhance the appearance of a smile.
Types Of Crowns That Are Available At Our Clinic
All Ceramic Crown
Ceramic crowns have no interior grey metal. They are frequently used for the visible front teeth. The grey metal boundary won’t be visible if the gum recedes. We also provide an express service for dental crowns.
Zirconium Crown
Usually used on rear teeth, these crowns. These crowns are still white but not as aesthetically beautiful as ceramic ones. Since these crowns are not made of porcelain, the chance of a crown fracture is much lower.
Crown Made Of Porcelain Glued To Metal
These crowns feature porcelain glued to the outside and a metal core inside. The thin porcelain covering is more prone to breaking than other crowns. Usually used on rear teeth, these crowns.
Gold Crowns
The strongest crowns on the market are these. Typically, they are used for back teeth. Using gold crowns requires less tooth reduction.
Procedure For Creating A Dental Crown
A clinical evaluation and an X-ray are done to ensure the tooth is healthy. The iTero portable wand takes a digital 3D image of your teeth. The tooth is prepared and submitted to the lab along with digital scans. Then, a temporary crown is put in place. The dental laboratory receives the digital image right away via electronic transmission.
At Bright Dental Care And Implant Center in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, we utilise the AquaCare Air Abrasion technology, which uses high-pressure Aluminium Oxide particles to produce an additional mechanical bond for the crown. It increases the bond strength between the tooth and the crown. It dramatically lowers the possibility of the crown debonding in the future. We may offer you a 24-hour express new crown service if you require a new dental crown immediately.
What Can You Achieve With Dental Crowns?
Many people believe that getting dental crowns fitted is a complex and stressful process, but this is untrue. An unhurried and relaxing encounter is what you can anticipate at Bright Dental Care And Implant Center.
Determine whether dental crowns are a good option for you and where they should be placed. First, a dental specialist will evaluate your teeth during a consultation. We can design the ideal dental crowns for you.
After your dental crowns are created, they will be fitted by a Bright Dental Care And Implant Center dentist to ensure they are secure, comfortable, and working correctly. After that, you can use your brand-new dental crowns just like you would your original teeth; you won’t feel constrained or that your teeth are missing anything.
What Makes Us Unique?
A crown’s design and treatment outcome are influenced by both the dentist and the laboratory professionals. The right anatomical features must be designed with art and science in mind to ensure the optimal fit in the mouth.
Knowing how much experience the dentist has with the tools used in the process is crucial because some of the technologies and material options for today’s crowns are still somewhat novel. To better grasp complex tooth and bone processes, prosthodontists, for instance, undergo an additional two to three years of study. This training may be relevant to your situation.
FAQs
What is the difference between a veneer and a crown?
A person’s front teeth might have very thin ceramic veneers placed on their surface. A crown increases strength and stability by covering the entire exposed surface of the tooth. A tooth that has been worn down can be restored with a crown. A few frequent causes of tooth wear include teeth grinding, an incorrect bite, ageing, fillings, and tooth decay.
How much do these procedures typically cost?
Depending on the diagnosis made by our dentist, the procedure’s cost will change. The price will also vary according to elements, including if you have cavities or teeth that require specialised care. It is preferable to have this conversation during your initial appointment with our dentist so that you can thoroughly understand how much your procedure(s) will cost.
Are dental crowns painful?
As the tooth is prepared for the crown, an anaesthetic relieves the patient’s pain. But when the surgery is over, some sensitivity is possible, just like other dental procedures. It might vanish for a few days.
