All About Dental Crowns

You can restore a damaged tooth in several ways, one of the most popular is installing a crown on a tooth. The artificial crown restores the anatomical shape and returns the chewing function, the aesthetic appearance is also improved. The main thing is that the damaged part of the tooth ceases to decay. Crowns are divided into two main types:

1. Single - installed in one place;
2. Soldered - several solitary, also called a bridge.

The procedure for installing the crown takes several stages, initially an initial examination and consultation of the attending physician is carried out. Further, it may be necessary to fill the root canals, sharpening the edge of the crown by a millimeter and a half to select the thickness of the future prosthesis. Are there any contraindications or cases when the installation of the crown is not possible? Yes, here are the most common situations:

• Tooth mobility - for diseases of the gums and bone tissue, the tooth may be movable; installation on such a tooth is highly not recommended.
• The height of the damaged tooth is extremely small with severe destruction, installation is almost impossible.

The crown on the tooth is installed in such cases:

• A natural tooth is more than 1/2 damaged, there is no nerve inside and the tooth becomes brittle over time;
• Increased erasure of the natural crown;
• It is necessary to install a new tooth;
• Change color, close the gap between the teeth.

There are several materials from which crowns are made - cermets, non-metal ceramics, porcelain, all-ceramic crowns, metal-composite ones. It is worth noting that in each group there are several subgroups of materials. At the initial examination, you voice your wishes to the doctor, as well as what budget you have.
