Sometimes, without us having any control over it, a tooth (or more teeth) can break for no apparent reason, and it can be caused by almost anything from an accident to age or even the use of certain medications.
Not everyone has equally strong teeth and a broken or damaged tooth not only causes pain and discomfort but can also lead to tooth decay and even gum disease. On top of that, broken teeth (especially if it is in front of the mouth) are a huge embarrassment for many people and definitely something that keeps one from smiling broadly.
A broken tooth can also make you susceptible to other infections and it is best to consult a dentist for treatment as soon as possible. With the right treatment, it is no longer necessary to feel uncomfortable in public or to be ashamed of your smile. Healthy teeth not only look beautiful, but also give one confidence and the good news is that dental crowns treatment in Twickenham is not only affordable, but it will help you regain the confidence you always wanted.
Dental crowns are one of the treatments dentists can apply to improve the appearance of your smile. A dental ...
... crown is a ‘cap’ in the shape of your tooth, which is fitted perfectly over the affected tooth. It covers the tooth to protect the tooth to adjust its strength, size, and shape, and improve its overall appearance. The crowns, which remain in place, enclose the visible part of the tooth that is not in the gums. With proper care, dental crowns can last a very long time.
Some people also get stains inside the tooth that are caused by a tooth injury (such as a hard blow to the tooth). When the tooth pulp is damaged, it can cause internal tooth bleeding, which leads to tooth discolouration. In this case, teeth whitening procedures will not help, but rather a dental crown, or even veneers or an implant
Dental crowns are also often suggested in cases where the tooth has a very large filling that exceeds the natural structure of the tooth, or for protection and the first step of dental crown treatment usually involves a visit to a reputable dentist for a proper examination of your tooth. If you have received a root canal treatment recently, your dentist will probably prefer to use anaesthesia, because the dental instruments come into close contact with the gums, which can be quite uncomfortable and painful.
The next step involves taking preliminary impression of the affected tooth, which is then sent off to a dental laboratory for the manufacturing of the crown. The laboratory requires a precise imprint of both your mandibular and maxillary arches, in order to make a perfect crown.
Regardless of whether you have opted for porcelain fused to metal crown (PFM) or full ceramic, the dentist will still need the exact shape and profile of your tooth before it can be fully prepared. Once alginate impressions have been taken from both your lower and upper dental arches, a dental stone model is then created by the dental assistant. These are sent to the dental lab so that they can make your unique dental crown.
Once the impressions have been completed, the dentist will also use a shadow guide to determine the exact colour of your tooth, so it can later be matched to your other teeth. A dental crown imitates the entire crown of the tooth with its cavity space. The remaining core below the crown must be reduced to accommodate the crown above, and so that the final crown can be fitted correctly. A crown is therefore specifically designed to fit the tooth securely and to keep bacteria out from under the tooth structure to prevent tooth decay.
For several days or perhaps a week or so, you will be having a temporary crown while the final product is made by the laboratory. Once the final impressions have been taken, the tooth properly prepared, and given the crown is ready, you will be required to revisit your dentist for the final part – the fitting of your crown, which is attached to the tooth by using a special bonding agent.
Dental crown treatment is available anywhere in the UK, and if you need dental crown treatment in Twickenham, for example, the internet is a great place to find a leading dentist.
