There may be a necessity of sporting dental crowns on your teeth, if they are infected or damaged in some way that is beyond simple restoration. Today, a dentist would recommend ceramic dental crowns, which are stronger and more durable.
Benefits
Ceramic dental crowns have proven to be a cost effective way to restore your infected or damaged tooth. The material is very strong and durable, which offers a favorable result. Moreover, you can complete the procedure in one visit.
This easy and convenient dental care option is favorable with many consumers, who do not like visiting the dentist, although it may be a necessary activity to maintain good oral hygiene and teeth condition.
Your dentist will advise you on the option of choosing dental crowns when your tooth is badly infected or out of shape, which could stem from a fall or harsh activity, like a knock or accident. You can restore the good shape of your tooth with an appropriate ceramic crown that will leave you looking better than your original tooth presentation.
Quality Materials
When you undertake a dental crown procedure, only the best materials should qualify. This wise choice will enable you to keep your tooth healthy and strong in its function. In the past, dentists and consumers chose materials like amalgam or gold to restore their teeth, which can look very unsightly. Today, ceramic can come in various colors and strength, to ensure the right aesthetics and function. Quality materials that match closely to your original tooth’s composition can ensure a natural functioning of your tooth.
You do not have to worry about your tooth being sensitive to hot or cold, as the ceramic can expand and contract similarly to the natural tooth’s structure. Quality ceramic will assure you of no cracks and loose tooth, as the materials remain strongly bonded by chemicals to your tooth.
Procedure
Dental crowns are variable, although each is unique and simple with the right tools and the right dentist. The infected tooth needs to be thoroughly examined first to determine its condition to identify the best dental crown treatment.
A full crown depends on the health condition of the tooth structure. Your dentist may use certain standard restorative techniques to prepare your tooth for crowning. Today’s modern technology uses 3D images for a virtual model of your tooth, to design the best ceramic dental crown.
The matching ceramic block molds in the shape and shade of your tooth in a special milling machine in 10-20 minutes. Your cosmetic dentist will bond the crown to your tooth immediately.
Consumers’ choice
With the many shapes and colors of ceramic dental crowns, more and more consumers are opting for these than amalgam, gold or other metal. The dynamism of restoring chipped or discolored teeth, especially the front teeth, with ceramic dental crowns is very impressive.
You can enjoy your smile and speak more confidently without being conscious of your teeth. This type of dental crowning is making a wide global impact today, with millions of consumers undertaking ceramic dental crowns.
