Dental crowns – Are they suitable for me?

by London Heritage Dental We are welcoming new patients!

Dental crowns are very common procedures performed at a dental clinic. They are synthetic caps, generally made up of porcelain and are placed at the top of a tooth.  They are used to repair the tooth’s look and purpose following a healing procedure such as a root canal. And in case the decay in the tooth has become so advanced that a large amount of it needs to be removed, they are often used to restore the tooth.  They are also used to tie bridges, wrap implants and stop a cracked tooth from becoming worse.   They are also used for aesthetic use. They are used when any discoloured tooth needs to be restored to its natural look.

What are the main reasons why your dentist at the dental clinic in Calgary will recommend you a crown?

·         A cavity that is too big for a filling

·         Missing tooth and requirement of a bridge

·         Coverage for dental implant

·         Cracked, worn out or discolored tooth

·         After a root canal treatment, replacement for filing

Your dentist will use a hassle-free way to complete the procedure. During the procedure of making it, your dentist will ensure to use a material that will mix together with your usual teeth. The expert will ensure that it looks natural and fits comfortably into your mouth. Your dentist will consider many things like the tooth location, the position of the gum tissue, your preference, color and shade of your tooth and the function of your tooth.

You would be eager to know how a dentist places a crown in the patient’s mouth.  First of all, the dentist will make the tooth by removing its outer part so that the dental crown fits in nicely. In case of any decay, it is taken out and an impression is made to provide an exact model of the crown. Your dentist may give you a temporary crown while the permanent one gets ready.  The laboratory technician or the dentist will use the impression to make the crown for you. When it is made, the dentist will place this in your mouth and make necessary alterations.  Once both of you are satisfied with how it looks and feel, the dentist will cement the crown.  

You can take help of your dentist to know whether a dental crown is appropriate for your condition or not.
