"DENTAL-CROWNS...
|
| Just ask any dentist and he'll tell you... "if a dental crown can't fix a broken tooth and a broken smile... nothing can"! |
It's amazing how magnetic and hypnotic you become when you have sparkling teeth.
Teeth that just radiate with energy... excitement... and sex appeal... crowns have been known to do that for broken teeth.
Besides Their Cosmetic Function Crowns Are Also Used...
- To protect a weak or decayed tooth
- To hold together parts of a cracked tooth
- To restore an already broken or severely worn down tooth
- To cover and support a tooth with a large filling
- To cover a misshaped or severely discolored tooth
- To cover spaces in between teeth
Crowns Are Custom Made To Fit Over The Whole Tooth
Usually dental-crowns are made of porcelain fused to metal... but not always.
Sometimes crowns are made of other combination of materials... and there are important reasons why this is so.
| Your dentist will explain the pros and cons of the different materials used to make crowns. He'll explain which combination of crown materials is best for your particular dental situation. |
Preparing your tooth for a crown usually requires two visits to your dentist.
Your first visit involves examination of your teeth and gums.... and the making of a temporary crown.
On your second visit... your dentist's focus is on placing or putting in your permanent crown.
During Your First Visit...
...your dentist will take a few x-rays to check the roots and surrounding bone of the tooth receiving the crown.
At some point during your first visit... your dentist will use a paste or putty like substance to make an impression of the tooth receiving the crown.
During Your Second Visit...
...is when you, as mentioned, receive your permanent crown.
Your dentist will remove your temporary crown... while he checks the fit and color match of your permanent crown.
| This checking is be done by you and your dentist to make sure your crown has a smooth... even... color match... with your surrounding teeth. |
If everything checks-out... a local anesthetic will be used to numb the tooth. Yur new tooth restoring... smile enhancing crown... is then properly cemented to your tooth.
How Long Do Dental-Crowns Last?
On average... dental-crowns last between 10 and 20 years. The life span of a crown, just like most other things in life... depends on the "wear and tear" the crown is exposed to.
Your crowns' life span will be affected by how well you follow good oral hygiene practices... such as brushing and flossing.
| "Your crowns will last a long time if you practice not grinding or clenching your teeth. Also, avoid chewing ice... biting your fingernails... and using your teeth to open packages." |
If you avoid these things, who knows... your crowns may last a life time. Otherwise, dental-crowns don't require any special care.
Sooner or later... I knew you'd ask this all important question. And of course you should be asking this question. So I'll get straight to the point.
...depending on what part of the country (America) you live in.
| The cost for a crown is greatly affected by the type of dental-crown you select For example... porcelain crowns are more expensive than gold crowns... which are more expensive than porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns. |
Generally, crowns range in cost from $500. to $900. or more per tooth.
