DENTAL CROWNS

What are Dental crowns ?

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps or custom-made tooth covers placed on top of the damaged teeth. Dental crowns can be made out of metals, porcelain, resin and ceramics. They typically don’t require special care over time other than regular good oral hygiene. They are widely used for protecting RCT treated teeth or teeth which have undergone Root canal treatment . Its main purpose is to protect your teeth from fracture, helping to strengthen the affected teeth and to avoid further damage. In some cases crowns can serve as fillings, protecting a weak tooth from breaking, and may also be used to cover stained or misshapen teeth. They are designed to improve the functionality and appearance of one or several teeth. Dental crowns can be used to replace a large filling, help prevent damage such as cracking of a weakened tooth and even cover or hide a misshapen, discolored, or worn-down tooth.

How is my tooth prepared for a dental crown?

You need two visits to the dental clinic to prepare for a dental crown. In some cases, you may have a dental crown made in your dentist’s office.

Your dentist might have to do a root canal treatment before your dental crown procedure if there’s any:

• Tooth decay.
• Risk of infection.
• Injury to the tooth’s pulp.

Pulp is the soft tissue inside your teeth that contains blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue.

The 1st visit:

• During the first visit, the impacted tooth is examined and prepared well. X-rays of teeth and gums are captured to identify the problem and to check the extent of the decay.
• Next, we mold an impression of the tooth so that the crown fits between the teeth on either side of it and is the same size and shape as the one being capped. If too much of your tooth is missing — due to damage or decay — a filling material can be used to “build up” enough tooth structure for the crown to cover.
• The impressions are sent to a dental laboratory. The laboratory makes the crowns and usually returns them to the dentist’s office in two to three weeks. During this first office visit, your dentist will make a temporary crown to cover and protect the prepared tooth while you’re waiting on the permanent crown.

The 2nd visit:

• On the second visit, the permanent crown is placed on your tooth. First, the temporary crown is removed and the fit and color of the permanent crown is checked. If everything is okay, a local anesthetic (“numbing” drug) is sometimes used to numb the tooth and the new crown is permanently cemented in place.

If you have one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge can fill the gap with one or more artificial (false) teeth. A bridge is typically made of crowns on either side of the missing tooth or teeth supporting the pontic (false tooth) and is cemented in place. Once completed, the assembly is cemented permanently into place. Dental bridges can help if you have a missing tooth or teeth. The most common causes of missing teeth are tooth decay, gum disease and injury. Or you may have been born with missing teeth due to a congenital condition. To get a dental bridge, you need healthy teeth on either side of the missing ones.

What’s the procedure to get dental bridges?

You’ll typically need at least two appointments:

1. Abutment teeth preparation: During your first visit, your dentist reshapes the abutment teeth. They’ll remove part of the enamel and dentin, so there’s room for the crown.

2. Impressions: Then he takes impressions or a digital scan of your teeth. A dental laboratory uses the mold or scan as a model to create your bridge, false teeth and crowns. You’ll have a temporary bridge to protect the exposed areas in your mouth while the lab makes your bridge.

3. Permanent bridge placement: During your second visit, your dentist removes the temporary bridge and places the permanent bridge. Your provider will carefully check the bridge and make any needed adjustments to make sure it fits you comfortably.

All you need is to take good care of your new bridge and maintain good oral hygiene to make these bridges more durable and your smile everlasting.
