Crowns

A dental crown, often known as a cap, can be your best option if your tooth is just slightly broken and not completely gone. on conceal the damage, you might apply it on your teeth. Use a dental crown to shield your teeth from further harm.

A dental crown could be required if your tooth is very decaying, crooked, or misaligned, or if it has a big filling, a root canal, or is otherwise damaged.

Metals, porcelain, or a mix of the two may be used to create tooth crowns, among other materials. They are very durable and may live up to ten years with proper maintenance. The process of brushing and flossing your crown is similar to that of any other tooth in your mouth.

Because dental crowns and artificial teeth are not as robust as your natural teeth, avoid biting down on hard objects, opening or cutting anything with your teeth, or doing anything else that would typically harm your real teeth.

The steps involved in creating and putting dental crowns are as follows:

1. Your dentist may need to create a mold of your teeth for a temporary crown. Until a permanent tooth is made, it keeps yours safe. The form and color of your permanent dental crowns may vary from those of your temporary ones.
2. A freezing, sometimes known as a local anesthetic, will be applied by the dentist. In order to create space for the crown, your dentist will next file down your natural tooth.
3. The nearby teeth and the filed-down tooth are then imprinted once again. After your tooth is covered by the temporary crown, you may resume your regular activities.
4. entails sending the mold or impression to a dental lab so that a permanent crown may be created to order. You may use a mold to create a replica of your teeth. The model is used to create a restoration or filling that is precisely sized and shaped to suit your tooth.
5. The temporary crown will be taken out and the permanent one placed during your subsequent dental visit. Your dentist will next check that the crown is the proper size, shape, and color. Your dentist will cement the crown into place in this case. Your tooth will be realistic in both shape and function.

Every single one of your teeth is different. Although these are the typical procedures for creating a crown, the requirements for your particular tooth may change. Two potential treatments you could need are gum therapy and orthodontics. Your dental appointments may need to be spaced out over a longer time frame. For individuals with damaged teeth, Cambridge's Cedar Dental Centre offers dental crowns and caps.
