PORCELAIN CROWNS IS A PROSTHODONTIC AND AESTHETIC MEASUREMENT INCLUDING CROWNS AND DENTAL BRIDGE.
Porcelain Crowns
As a mask, crowns cover the surface of the tooth that needs treatment, creating a new look with color and size similar to real teeth. Crowns enable to increase bearing capacity of damaged teeth, improving color and tooth shape. Crowns can also used to cover Implant teeth to create certainty and authenticity of the teeth.
Porcelain is the material used to produce sophisticated crowns similar to real teeth. Additionally, other types of crown are made from gold, alloy, plastic and porcelain. Hard alloys are often selected by patients because they are harder than porcelain and be well-compatible with dental tissues. Nowadays, with many outstanding advantages, porcelain prostheses are preferred thanks to their higher hardness and aesthetics than other types of prostheses.
Crowns are recommended when:
- Large chipped and broken teeth that cannot be filled
- Teeth are at risk of chipping, needing protection
- Attaching to the dental bridge
- Change the teeth color to brighter look when not whitening
- Protecting teeth in root canal treatment process
In case a patient lose a tooth, many teeth or full jaw, the doctor will recommend using a dental bridge combined with a crown. The dental bridge is attached to a real tooth or an implant around the missing tooth gap. Therefore, this method will be appointed by the doctor for cases which the patient has a strong jaw and the two teeth beside the missing tooth gap are still strong.
Like crowns and other prosthetic methods, customers can also choose materials for their dental bridges, under the guidance of a doctor so that the material is suitable for the tooth loss position, color, function and aesthetics.
