Tuesday, March 10, 2009What are the different types of dental crowns?
Metals used in dental crowns include gold alloy or a base-metal alloy such as nickel or chromium. In comparison with other crown types less tooth structure has to be removed which makes this a very big added benefit for you. They are the most durable out of all the dental crown types, and rarely chip or break. The biggest negative of this type of dental crown is the metallic color. They are ideal for molars in the back of your mouth, that are not visible. Porcelain-fused-to-metal dental crowns are not as durable as the metal dental crowns, however, they can be matched, color wise, to your teeth which is an added benefit. The dental crown's porcelain portion can chip or break off. These crowns can be a good choice for front or back teeth. All-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns give you the best possible match for tooth color. They are, however, not very durable and they wear down opposing teeth a little more than the other crowns. All-ceramic dental crowns are a good choice for front teeth. For more information, check out My Dentist USA! Labels: Cosmetic Dental Crowns, Dental Crowns

Wednesday, May 14, 2008What to expect: Dental CrownsDental Crowns usually require at least two visits to your cosmetic dentists office. The initial visit involves the dentist probing and preparing the tooth and the second visit typically involves the placement of the permanent crown. During the initial visit, your cosmetic dentist will most likely take some x-rays of your mouth to check the strength of your roots and the surrounding bone around the tooth. Your cosmetic dentist will then file down your tooth, to the chewing surface in order to make room for your dental crown. If a good amount of your tooth is missing, the dentist may actually use material to fill the area, to build up the tooth so it can support the crown. The amount of tooth removed is completely dependant on your specific scenario, along with the type of dental crown being used. The dentist will then make an impression of your teeth, which are then sent to a dental lab where your customized dental crown will be made. The crown usually is ready within 2 weeks. In the meantime, the dentist will insert a temporary dental crown, which will serve as the protection device until your permanent dental crown is ready. During your second visit, to your cosmetic dentist, he/she will remove your temporary dental crown, and verify the color and fit of your permanent dental crown. When everything is completed, your cosmetic dentist will permanently cement your new dental crown in. Read more about Dental Crowns at My Dentist USA! Labels: Dental Crowns
Friday, March 21, 2008What are Metal-Free Crowns & Bridges?Sometimes a beautiful smile takes work that is a bit more involved. If you notice strain when biting down, pain during chewing, or difficulty in speaking due to misaligned or missing teeth, bridges might be the right option for you. They work by literally bridging the gaps between missing teeth, closing spaces with durable, injury-resistant, realistic-looking artificial teeth. Because they are semi-permanent, bridges can be removed only by a dentist but are long-lasting and strong. Labels: Dental Bridges, Dental Crowns
