Must read what you need to know about dental crowns.
E N D
What are dental crowns? Dental crowns are a fixed prosthesis that is manufactured by a dental lab that actually cements onto/over your natural tooth structure.
There are three types of dental crowns. • Ceramic. Ceramic crowns are an all-porcelain. • Porcelain that is fused to a metal substance such as gold or silver. • Full gold crown.
Why do teeth require dental crowns? Typically a crown is required when a tooth is broken and a large portion of tooth structure is lost. To receive a dental crown, the tooth is prepared and a mold is made. The crown will actually cement right over the top of the natural tooth structure.
What is the difference between a crown and a porcelain veneer? Porcelain veneers actually are used generally in the front teeth and they're similar to a fake fingernail. Crowns generally will last most of a person's life if they're placed well and the person has good oral hygiene.
