A dental crown is a cap in the shape of a tooth that is fixed over the tooth to resize to reshape and enhance the look of the teeth as well. Dental crowns are a discreet way to cover holes and, whether you have lost or broken teeth, help restore your smile. A crown can also make you bite and chew smoother, and other processes in the body, such as your digestive system, can have a positive effect.
In the following cases, a Dental Crown can be used:
- If the teeth are half-broken and fragile, use the crown to repair certain teeth.
- Dental implants will also be secured.
- Discolored and malformed teeth are also covered.
- It is used to modify the look of appearance.
- It also used to cover damaged tooth or the missing tooth.
- Crown is used to cover cavities
- If the root canal is handled, the crown would be covered.
Crowns are of different types.
Crowns are mostly permanent or temporary. Temporary crowns are made of a material based on acrylic or stainless steel and can be used for temporary reconstruction before a permanent crown is developed in the laboratory.
Ceramic Crown :For front and back teeth, these crown styles are used. As the initial teeth, the colour of the crown is natural.
Metal Crown: Metal crowns are used with a high gold or platinum or alloy material. Rarely do metal crowns chip or split. The chief downside is the metallic hue. A suitable alternative for out-of-sight molars are metal crowns.
Stainless Steel: For children, stainless steel is used to fit over the primary tooth. The whole tooth is covered by this crown and it is protected from further decay. The crown comes off automatically of it as the primary tooth comes out to make room for the permanent tooth. It's the most cost-efficient.
There are a few things you can do to keep a crown from being damaged:
- To clear plaque, a sticky layer of bacteria, wash twice a day and floss once a day.
- Do not chew hard fruit, ice or other hard items, such as pencils, for example. For tooth-colored crowns, this is highly important.
- Make sure to visit the dentist for daily examinations and professional cleaning of your teeth.
- Stop cigars. Your chance of gum disease is raised by smoking.
- Feed a thoroughly nutritious diet.
