Dental crowns all-in-one package

Candidates for dental crowns include individuals who have a broken, damaged, or severely decayed tooth, as well as those with aesthetic issues such as significantly discolored or irregularly shaped teeth. Candidates should also have enough healthy tooth structure to support the placement of the crown.

Preparation for the treatment typically involves a consultation with a dentist or dental prosthodontist to assess the need for a crown. During the preparation, the dentist often performs X-rays of the tooth to evaluate the health of the tooth root and surrounding tissues.

The actual dental crown placement treatment typically looks like this: 1. Tooth Preparation: First, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any damage, shaping it to accommodate the crown, and removing old fillings if present. 2. Impression: After tooth preparation, an impression of the tooth is made to create a model for crown fabrication. 3. Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is often placed on the tooth while the permanent crown is being fabricated in a dental laboratory. 4. Placement of Permanent Crown: Once the permanent crown is ready, it is cemented onto the prepared tooth using dental adhesive or other bonding agents. 5. Adjustment and Final Finishing: After placement, the crown is adjusted to match the color, shape, and bite of the patient. Corrections may be needed before final finishing.

The results of dental crown placement typically include a restored tooth that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Patients will notice an improvement in appearance and chewing. Crowns can be made to match the color and shape of the surrounding teeth.

Precautions after crown placement include regular oral hygiene, including brushing and cleaning between teeth. It's also important to follow the dentist's instructions and attend regular dental check-ups to ensure the long-term health of the crown and surrounding teeth.
