Dental Crown
Dental crowns are a treatment whose purpose is to ensure that the teeth have a visually natural appearance, even though the patient’s teeth have entirely been replaced. They also act as reinforcement to make the tooth smoother and more functional.
Maintaining a healthy and beautiful dental aesthetic is the priority of many people. Dental crowns in Turkey are an ideal procedure to restore cavities, fractures, and distorted or curvature teeth.
They are primarily used to cover a destroyed tooth completely. But dentists can also use them to improve appearance, shape, or alignment. Thus, dental crowns have many features, including:
- It strengthens teeth when they are too small or weak, as they perfectly mimic a new, solid, and much more aesthetic tooth.
- Crowns close the spaces between teeth caused by the loss of any of the parts. In this case, the dentist will cover two teeth by placing a triple crown, allowing to close another unsightly gap in the middle.
- It prevents a weakened tooth from breaking with normal food chewing.
- These protect teeth that have had root canal treatment to prevent dental pulp and tooth root exposure. It also covers a dental implant.
In some cases, discomfort may occur after treatment that will be temporary with proper care. The most common are sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks, pain when chewing, or gum swelling that will decrease as you get used to your new crowns.
In addition, it is necessary to maintain proper hygiene by brushing your teeth at least twice a day and using dental floss to prevent cavities in the under-crown teeth. It would be best if you also waited a few days for the crown to adapt to the mouth. To maintain good care, we recommend maintaining good hygiene of veneers, as with other teeth. Also, never chew complex objects if this is porcelain.
What are dental crowns? What are the types of dental crowns?
A dental crown is a type of custom-made prosthesis that covers the entire damaged natural tooth to restore the function and aesthetics of the part. They make of metal, ceramic, or porcelain fused with metal.
Teeth divide into different units such as crown, neck, and root. The first is the visible part of the piece. Therefore, it is the part most exposed to external aggression and damage. In cases where the tooth has deteriorated, dental crowns are the appropriate treatment to restore its smooth and natural appearance and strengthen it to make it much more helpful.
Dental crowns in Turkey generally classifies according to the material from which they produce:
- Metal: They make of gold, nickel, or platinum. Materials that make it hard and wear-resistant; Although they aren’t aesthetically compatible with your smile design, they usually use on back teeth that aren’t visible when talking or laughing.
- Porcelain: They provide a natural look and sound resistance. For this reason, porcelain dental crowns generally use for anterior teeth, which have more aesthetic functions and don’t interfere with chewings, such as molars and premolars.
- Metal and porcelain dental crowns: The combination of the two components makes this type of coronary prosthesis more aesthetic. The base of the crown is metallic, and the visible part is made of porcelain, offering the advantages of both materials. These are durability and natural aesthetics.
- Zirconium dental crowns: Although one of the most expensive, they undoubtedly give the best results in terms of resistance aesthetics. Zirconium offers unique transparency results as it has properties similar to natural tooth enamel.
- Composite (resin) dental crowns: They are one of the most temporary options, as they make of mixed synthetic materials that cover the entire tooth. They are the least resistant and tend to wear out quickly and easily.
