Gold Dental Crowns
Dental Crowns: All You Need To Know
Has extensive wear and tear damaged your tooth to the point that its functionality is compromised? Than you need to consider a dental crown. A dental crown is essentially a cap placed over your tooth to:
- Prevent further damage
- Serve as a shell for a cracked tooth
- Replace a crown
- Allow a damaged tooth to regain functionality
Do I Need A Dental Crown?
While options such as <a href=http://www.valleycosmeticdentist.com/porcelain-veneers.html>porcelain veneers</a> are another route you can take to prevent further tooth decay or repair a damaged tooth, if excessive damage has compromised your oral health, dental crowns are your only course of action. This is because unlike other smile restoration procedures, dental crowns provide a more fortified foundation for your teeth. Instances when this is required are:
- You’re the victim of periodontal disease, which would automatically disqualify you for porcelain veneers
- Grinding or clenching your teeth
- Major decay has eroded the foundation of your teeth
- Significant shape change is required to meet your goals
What’s The Procedure Like?
If you experience dental anxiety, many dental offices now practice <a href=http://www.valleycosmeticdentist.com/sedation-dentistry.html>sedation dentistry</a> to alleviate any stress you may experience. However, compared to other smile restoration options, the dental crown procedure is rather simple and non-invasive:
- First, Dr. Jamie Sands and Dr. Jason Sands will prepare the tooth for receiving the crown. During this visit, an impression is made of your teeth and sent to the laboratory
- While the crown is being created, we will provide you with a temporary crown to protect your tooth
- Once the crown is finished, you return to the dental office to have the cap bonded to your damaged tooth
What Are My Options For A Crown?
There are three kinds of commonly used <a href=http://www.valleycosmeticdentist.com/porcelain-crowns.html>dental crowns</a>:
- Porcelain
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal
- Gold
Depending on your cosmetic goals, financial restrictions, and oral health needs, you can discuss with your dentist the most appropriate route for you.
Porcelain
Porcelain dental crowns (also known as all-ceramic) are the most aesthetically pleasing and natural looking dental crown, as it is completely metal-free. However, there are drawbacks, such as it is not as strong or durable as its counterparts and thus should not be used in heavily used areas of the mouth.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal
Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns are the most commonly used dental crowns today. They are more durable than pure porcelain and remain a very natural looking option. However, as time peels back your gum line, more of the metal collar will show.
Gold
While not as popular as porcelain dental crowns, gold crowns are still used today under specific circumstances. For instance, if a patient grinds or clenches their teeth, gold crowns are the best route as they are more durable than porcelain options. Additionally, they provide more longevity than their porcelain counterparts.
