Whether you suffer from tooth discolouration, or chipped, cracked, or broken teeth, dental crowns are usually the answer to any cosmetic dentistry problem. In the following article, we will discuss the different types if dental crowns available on the market and any preparatory work you may have to do beforehand.
Types of Dental Crowns
All dental crowns work just about the same. The difference between them is the materials used. Available on the market today is ceramic, porcelain, resin and stainless steel. The most ideal type of crown is made of ceramic or porcelain because of the natural-looking properties it has. If you want an option that will be almost identical to your natural teeth, then ceramic or porcelain is the way to go.
Time Frame for Dental Crown
In order to get dental crowns that you will be proud of you need to allocate time for two dentist visits. The first one is to make a mold of your teeth. This mould is a key component of the success of your implant as it pertains to the natural look of your future teeth. In the meantime, between appointments, temporary crowns would be placed in the mouth to allow you to eat and drink normally. By the second appointment, you will be fitted with the new moulds and will leave the dentist’s office sporting a new set of pearly whites!
