Dental Crown
Introduction
The dental crown is great for so many different reasons; It can be used to address a severely decayed tooth, a damaged tooth from some type of accident, or if you have a misshaped tooth that you simply want to match your existing teeth.
Overview
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that restores a decayed, broken, weak or worn-down tooth.
Dentists also use crowns to cover dental implants and root canal-treated teeth. Made from a variety of materials, including metal, resin and porcelain, crowns last between five and 15 years with proper care.
Benefits of dental crown procedure
There are many benefits of dental crown procedure, here are some of them :
• Improved chewing / eating:
Chewing and eating are often affected when you lose or damage a tooth. Thanks to modern dentistry, the materials that are used to build the dental crown have been made tougher so that you can continue to eat foods that you love with almost zero restrictions.
• Protection:
Crowns provide a protective layer over damaged or weakened teeth, preventing further decay, fractures, or wear.
• Improved functionality:
Dental crowns restore the shape, size, and strength of damaged teeth, allowing for better chewing, biting, and overall oral function.
• Aesthetic enhancement:
Crowns are custom-made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, improving the appearance of discolored, misshapen, or poorly aligned teeth.
• Durability:
With proper care, dental crowns can last for many years, providing long-term functionality and aesthetics.
• Stain Resistance:
Depending on the material used, dental crowns can be highly resistant to staining, maintaining their color and brightness over time.
prepare for dental crown procedure
Prior to getting a dental crown, it’s crucial to understand the process completely. You can psychologically get ready for the procedure and know what to expect throughout the process if you do this. Get a thorough explanation of the treatment from your dentist and ask any questions you may have.
It’s crucial to have your teeth cleaned before getting a the crown. This will make it simpler for the dentist to work on your tooth by removing any plaque or tartar accumulation from your teeth. A clean mouth also lowers the possibility of developing an infection following the treatment.
steps of dental crow procedure
A dental crow procedure includes the following steps:
Step 1- Preparing your tooth:
To prepare your tooth for a crown, your dentist will need to remove some of your natural enamel. This makes space for your new crown and ensures that it will stay in place once bonded.
Step 2- Your new crown:
Next, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth. These may be physical impressions taken with a putty-like material or digital impressions taken with a handheld scanner. Your dentist will send these impressions to a dental lab. There, a technician will use them to create your custom dental crown.
Step 3- Temporary crown placement:
It usually takes two to three weeks (sometimes longer ) for a dental lab to make your new crown.
Step 4- Bond the new crown:
The dentist will remove your temporary dental crown, and he will check the shape, color and then he will fit of your new crown. Finally he will bond the new crown to your tooth using a strong dental cement.
dental crown aftercare
Brush your teeth at least twice a day using a fluoride toothpaste and soft-bristled toothbrush. Floss between your teeth once every day.
You should use an antibacterial mouthwash to keep dental plaque and harmful bacteria at bay. Avoid extremely hard, crunchy or chewy foods.
If you grind or clench your teeth (bruxism), ask your dentist about wearing a custom mouth guard. Get regular dental cleanings and exams.
side effects of dental crown
Dental Crown side effects include:
• Tooth decay:
Although crowns are placed to protect teeth, there is still a risk of tooth decay.
• Sensitivity:
If the crown does not completely fit over the entire tooth, some dentin might still be exposed at the gum line. This can leave the tooth extra sensitive to hot and cold temperatures.
• Allergic reaction:
If a patient has an allergy, they could experience an allergic reaction after a crown has been placed.
• Bite problem:
If your crown doesn’t seem to fit quite right or feels abrasive when you bite down, then it’s important to schedule an exam.
• Loose crown:
It’s not common to experience a loose crown right after placement. However, over time, the cement that holds a crown in place can fail, causing the crown to loosen or dislodge entirely.
• Gum Irritation and/or recession:
A dental crown can potentially irritate the neighboring gum tissue, leading to inflammation and also gum recession which can cause pain and sensitivity.
