THE VERIFIABLE TRUTH ABOUT CROWN TREATMENT

What Is a Crown?

Crown-at times called a "cap" - is a tooth-like covering set over a deliberately arranged existing tooth. Used to reinforce, re-establish or enhance the appearance of your natural tooth, a crown is put on an individual tooth much like a thimble over your finger. Notwithstanding being utilized to reinforce a tooth to make a tooth stronger to contain the attachment of a fixed extension, crowns serve various functions. A rare amongst the most widely recognized is to bolster the tooth when there is no longer adequate tooth structure left to put a filling. Crowns may likewise be utilized to protect the structure of a tooth that is broken or cracked.

A bridge is a custom gadget tied down to neighboring teeth that replaces at least one missing teeth. At the point when a lost tooth is supplanted with bridgework, the teeth on either side of the missing one must be set up as crowns to fill in as projections to hold the prosthetic (substitution) teeth in place.

Crowns and bridges are regularly produced using predominant materials, for example, semi-precious or valuable metals, porcelain or a mix of metal fused to porcelain. Both appearance and capacity are considered while selecting the material most suitable for you.

When a permanent tooth is lost - whether it is because of dental rot, periodontal (gum) ailment, damage or accident - can bring about numerous difficult issues for your adjacent teeth. Since the support and biting strengths are changed, the rest of the teeth may start to move. The opposing tooth above or underneath the lost tooth can start to move down, up or out of the socket, which can quicken periodontal ailment and further destroy the bone structure. On the off chance that the missing tooth is not replaced, more teeth may inevitably be lost because of the wrong force applied amid biting.

HOW IS THE TREATMENT PERFORMED?

Usually, a tooth must be reduced in size to create room for a crown. An impression is made of the current tooth. The impression is sent to a unique lab, which produces a custom-designed crown. At times, an impermanent crown is placed until the permanent crown is available. Permanent crowns are sealed in place.

Crowns are at times mistaken for veneers; however, they are very different. Veneers are normally applied just to moderately little areas.

Amid the therapeutic procedure, we first anesthetize the area to be treated. Next, we painstakingly shape and form the tooth or teeth to be crowned to permit the crown or bridge adequate space for fit and appearance. At long last, we make an impression of the area and fit the teeth required with an impermanent crown or bridge to secure them until your next appointment. The bridge traverses the space where at least one tooth has been lost in the dental curve.

At the accompanying appointment, we assess the last crown or bridge for appropriate fit before putting it permanently, making last changes if required. Different components we deliberately consider as of now include:

  • aesthetics - colour match and appearance
  • function - accuracy of biting and chewing
  • compatibility of tissue - the bridge contour must comply with the encompassing tissue in a healthy and natural position
