porcelain crown improves smiles and restores broken teeth, among other uses
If you've recently suffered an injury to your tooth, a porcelain crown can help protect and restore its natural function and appearance.
Porcelain crowns are commonly used as anchors for dental bridges, providing stable support for the replacement teeth.
Do you have a crooked tooth that affects your smile? Porcelain crowns can be shaped to improve the alignment and overall appearance of your teeth.
If you have a large filling that has come loose or fallen out, a porcelain crown can replace the filling and provide added strength to the tooth.
After a root canal procedure, a tooth can become weak. A porcelain crown offers protection and reinforcement for the treated tooth.
Porcelain crowns are strong, natural-looking tooth restorations.
The process of getting a porcelain crown typically involves two appointments. During the initial visit, our experienced team will prepare your tooth by removing any decayed or weakened areas. Impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a custom-fit temporary crown to protect your tooth until the final crown is ready. Once your tooth is prepared, a temporary crown will be placed using temporary cement. During this step, we will carefully check your bite to ensure proper alignment, allowing you to bite and chew comfortably while awaiting your permanent porcelain crown.
After about two weeks, you'll return for your second appointment. At this visit, your temporary crown will be removed, and your new, custom-made porcelain crown will be carefully fitted and adjusted for optimal comfort and function. Once the fit is perfect, the crown will be permanently bonded to your tooth, restoring its strength and appearance.
If you're considering porcelain crowns to restore your smile, you might wonder about their safety. Rest assured, both the procedure and the materials used for porcelain crowns are FDA-approved and considered safe for dental use.
Taking care of your dental crowns, whether they're porcelain or another type, is really important to make sure they last a long time and keep your teeth healthy. Even though the crowns themselves can't get cavities, it's still super important to brush and floss regularly, just like you do with your natural teeth.
Even though the crown won't get cavities, the tooth underneath can still decay if you don't take care of it. So, make sure to brush and floss to keep plaque and bacteria away. Also, remember that dental crowns can stain over time, especially if you drink things like coffee or red wine, which can stain natural teeth. Unfortunately, teeth whitening products won't work on crowns, so if you want to whiten your natural teeth, you might need to discuss with your dentist about replacing or updating your crown.
By keeping up with good brushing and flossing habits, watching what you eat and drink to avoid staining, and seeing your dentist regularly, you can keep your dental crowns in great shape and maintain a bright, healthy smile. Our dentist at BOOM Smiles in Secaucus is here to help with personalized tips and advice for caring for your crowns.
