Dental Crowns & Caps
Dental crowns and caps are routine procedures used in cases where a tooth is missing, broken or in need of protection because he is weak. A crown can also be used to hold a tooth together or cover a large filling. If your teeth are severely malformed, your dentist may also suggest a crown or dental cap to give you a greater sense of confidence and correct your bite.
Crowns are of two types: permanent and temporary. Temporary crown can be home to a dentist, and is generally made of stainless steel or acrylic. On the other hand, a permanent crown is made of dental laboratories. Permanent crowns are often a mixture of gold, or porcelain – which are both very strong and durable. Variety of porcelain is increasingly used because it is a good choice, nor does it affect people’s allergies to certain metals.
Your dentist will take an x-ray of the tooth before deciding whether you need a cap or dental care, and discuss your options with you. If you have any questions, please ask before your procedure is in progress. A root canal can be done before the crown to avoid the risk of infection. His mouth is numbed the tooth and then is slightly down. Once the tooth is the size and shape of the crown to set properly, the sealant is applied to make an impression. The impression is sent to be processed in a crown. If you use the porcelain, the dentist selects a tone closer to the shade of your teeth. You must return to the office to have the crown put in place after construction.
Your crown cap and require special attention during the first few days, especially if you have had a temporary crown for use. Do not chew sticky or chewy foods, or something like that very hard. Avoid chewing gum and other dental floss every day. When the wires do not lift, but they move between the threads of the crown. You may experience discomfort or sensitivity of the first area, and this is perfectly normal. If you are sensitive to heat or cold, try a toothpaste designed for people with sensitive teeth.
