DENTAL CROWNS OVIEDO FL
Broken tooth? Badly decayed tooth? Don’t Panic you probably won’t lose the tooth! Dr. Amit Kamat can Save your tooth with a Dental Crown.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT DENTAL CROWNS IN OVIEDO, FL
Cosmetic dentistry comprises a variety of treatments. Dental crowns are used to complement multiple procedures. They might be utilized after root canals or dental implant treatment, or to treat various issues. Talk to your dentist in Oviedo, FL, about these versatile prosthetics.
WHAT ARE DENTAL CROWNS?
A dental crown covers a damaged tooth. The crown is made to resemble the natural tooth. Porcelain crowns strongly resemble natural teeth. They are also used to create a smoother, more aesthetically appealing appearance.
Once a crown is cemented into its position, it completely encases the tooth. A dental crown enhances the durability and strength of the original tooth.
REASONS FOR CROWN PLACMENT
Correcting a tooth gap.
Covering discolorations.
Repairing chipped/cracked teeth.
Crowns strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and can improve the appearance of your smile.
Types of crowns include the full ceramin crown (ideal for use on the front teeth), the ceramin-fused-to-metal crown and the all-metal crown (ideal for use on the back teeth).
THE DENTAL CROWN PROCEDURE
1.
A set of aligners are worn for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
2.
As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position the orthodontist has prescribed.
3.
You will visit us approximately once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
A crown may last up to 5-10 years.
REASONS YOU MIGHT NEED DENTAL CROWNS
You might require a dental crown for various reasons. The following circumstances are examples of situations in which crowns are needed:
when a tooth has been greatly worn down or is broken
if a tooth has excessive wear and contains a large filling
when a dental bridge is used and has no support from natural teeth
if a weak or decaying tooth is in jeopardy of breaking or cracking when several teeth are very discolored or misshapen
if a dental implant has been placed in the mouth when cosmetic modification is necessary
if a tooth has been given a root canal
discolored teeth
Tooth bonding is also one of the easiest cosmetic treatments to implement. Bonding can generally be performed in a single office visit. However, if many teeth need to be bonded, the procedure might require more than one visit.
when a decayed tooth cannot support an ordinary filling
if a child has a dental issues that would otherwise require too much anesthesia
when a child has many dental problems and the teeth need protection
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What Dental Crown Treatment Entails
Dental crown treatment typically takes a few weeks to complete. These are the basic steps that this procedure involves:
First, your dentist will numb the affected area.
A rubber dam may be placed over the area if decay is present.
Any decay is drilled out of the tooth.
Then, an impression of the affected tooth and area is taken.
The mold taken enables a technician to create a replica of the tooth.
Temporarily, an acrylic crown is positioned over the drilled tooth.
Once the permanent crown is ready, it is placed over the tooth permanently.
How Long Do Crowns Last?
A dental crown might last from five to 20 years. Crowns can still sustain fractures and they can get cavities. This is why you must take good care of teeth with crowns. If you brush and floss your teeth regularly, your crown should endure for longer.
One way to increase the longevity of porcelain crowns is to wear a mouth guard. This will help to protect the crown from fracturing.
Exploring How Much Dental Crowns Cost
Dental crowns are not inexpensive, but they can last for many years. The typical price range is between $800 and $1,700. Your dental office can tell you what to expect.
