  1. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GETTING A DENTAL CROWN www.gardendental.sg

  2. What is a Dental Crown? A dental crown, also known as a cap, is a tooth-shaped cover placed over a damaged or decayed tooth. It is used to restore the function and appearance of the tooth while also protecting it from further damage or decay. Crowns are typically made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys. They are custom-made to fit your tooth perfectly and are cemented into place by your dentist.

  3. Types of Dental Crowns Dental crowns are a type of dental restoration that covers or caps a damaged tooth or implant. There are several types of dental crowns, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Porcelain Crowns Gold Crowns Zirconia Crowns Gold crowns are made of a mixture of gold, copper, and other metals. They are extremely durable and can last for decades. However, their metallic appearance makes them a less popular choice for front teeth. Zirconia crowns are made of a strong, durable ceramic material that is resistant to chipping and cracking. They are a good choice for both front and back teeth. However, they are more expensive than other types of crowns. Porcelain crowns are made of a ceramic material that can be color- matched to your existing teeth. They are a popular choice for front teeth because of their natural appearance. However, they are not as durable as other types of crowns and may chip or crack over time.

  4. The Procedure: Step by Step Consultation and Preparation The first step in getting a dental crown is to schedule a consultation with your dentist. During this appointment, your dentist will examine your tooth to determine if a crown is the best option for you. If a crown is recommended, your dentist will prepare your tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to fit the crown. Impressions and Temporary Crown Once your tooth is prepared, your dentist will take impressions of your tooth to create a custom crown that fits perfectly. While you wait for your permanent crown to be made, your dentist will place a temporary crown to protect your tooth. Fitting and Placement When your permanent crown is ready, you will return to your dentist's office for the fitting and placement. Your dentist will remove the temporary crown and check the fit of the permanent crown. Once the fit is perfect, your dentist will cement the crown in place, completing the procedure.

  5. Aftercare and Maintenance Oral Hygiene Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial to the longevity of dental crowns. Brushing twice a day and flossing daily can help prevent plaque buildup and decay around the crown. Avoiding Hard and Sticky Foods Chewing on hard objects like ice or biting down on sticky foods like caramel can damage or dislodge the crown. It is important to avoid these types of foods to prevent any damage. Regular Dental Checkups Regular dental checkups are important to ensure the crown is still in good condition and functioning properly. Your dentist will check for any signs of damage or decay and make any necessary repairs.
