All About Dental Crowns and the Different Types of Crowns
What are Dental Crowns? Dental crowns are objects made out of different available materials that cover up a problematic tooth. These coverings or wraps are shaped into an actual tooth to give an esthetically pleasing look. Usually such a procedure is neccessary when a particular tooth is nearing decay or in certain instances when a tooth is broken or has severe shape or color inconsistencies. Dental crowns are usually administered by general dentists and in some case by cosmetic dentist professionals. There are many different types of materials available if one should need a dental crown. For example, full gold crowns are recommended due to its strong consistency which upholds against biting and chewing forces. The only drawback to metal crowns involve the color of the actual crown, which many find esthetically unappealing. Other materials available include porcelain fused to metal crowns, these crowns are recommended for the front lateral or back molar teeth as they can easily chip or break due to its compound material. Porcelain fused to metal or short for PFM, these crowns have the advantage that its color base can match one's tooth. Other material available for dental crowns include resin or all ceramic crowns. These types of crowns are usually less expensive than metal, but their material consistencies can be weak and may break or chip. These are good options for those who need to meet a certain budget or for those that have metal allergies.
The actual process involved in getting a dental crown, normally involves multiple visits. The first visit usually involves the general or cosmetic dentist reshaping your tooth so that the it will cover it perfectly along with a natural feel. This is an important step, chewing and biting forces need to have natural grooves so that the crown can be seated properly. Your first visit will also involve your dentist taking an impression of your tooth so that the dental lab will know exactly what shape the material should have. When returning to your dentist for the second visit, the dental crown will be seated on your tooth and the dentist will examine to ensure the fitting is perfect. Once everything is in place, cement is used to fuse the material to your tooth. General care instructions will be given to you by your doctor which include to stay away from chewy or hard foods which can potentially damage the newly fitted crown. General costs associated with getting a dental crown depend on your individual dental practitioner, however it is common for costs to be between $300-$900 or more per crown depending on the type and who your dental practitioner is.
