Crowns For Teeth
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped coverings placed over the portion of a tooth that lies above the gum line in order to restore its function, strength, and appearance. There are several types of crowns available. Choosing Dental Crowns Near Palmetto Bay, Dr. de Cardenas will work closely with you to determine which crown material is best suited to your individual situation and aesthetic goals.
Different Types of Crowns:
- Porcelain – Fused – To – Metal
- All-Ceramic
- All Metal
Crown Procedure
The procedure for putting on a crown is generally a two-visit process. Typically during the first visit, Dr. de Cardenas examines the tooth to be crowned then he prepares a mold for your permanent crown, and, finally, gives you a temporary crown. On your second visit, Dr. de Cardenas removes the temporary crown, putting in your permanent crown. Your tooth preparation involves removing part of your tooth’s original structure.
Finally…
When Dr. de Cardenas completes the crowning procedure, your new crown will fully encase the portion of your tooth that lies above the gum line. What this means is you’ll have a tooth that has greater strength and function and people will only see a tooth that has a beautiful appearance.
Crowns Lifespan
Your crown’s longevity has an average lifespan of 10 years. This is because dentists are usually confident with dental crowns lasting at least that long. However, with proper care and oral hygiene, they can last 50 years or more. Some materials used for dental crowns last longer than others. For example, when comparing gold crowns to porcelain crowns, the porcelain material is much more fragile.
