\"DentalBy visiting our dentist office, you can help to keep your dental crowns<\/a> in good condition for a longer period of time. \u00a0Crowns are an excellent option in restorative dentistry because they surround your damaged tooth like a cap. They provide complete coverage and protection so that your tooth can remain in place even after becoming cracked or chipped. \u00a0We use this procedure on a regular basis and are experts at creating crowns that look natural.<\/p>\n

It starts by taking an impression of your mouth. \u00a0When creating a crown in the dental lab, it must be a perfect fit for the shape and size of your tooth. Additionally, the ridges in the top of the crown need to be perfect so that it doesn\u2019t interfere with your bite and how your teeth fit together. \u00a0This takes paying attention to every detail and by spending time doing so, we can make sure that your crown will fit perfectly and feel great.<\/p>\n

Once your crown has been bonded to your tooth it should remain in place for years. \u00a0It will provide the protection that your tooth needs since nothing will touch the tooth directly but will instead, touch the crown. \u00a0By taking care of your dental crowns<\/em>, they can last for a long time and continue to look amazing. \u00a0How long they last depends in part on the type of material that they are made of. \u00a0For example, all-metal crowns last the longest and are known to last for over fifteen years. \u00a0They are typically placed on back teeth since they stand out in appearance and don\u2019t look natural. \u00a0All-porcelain crowns look the best because they look like natural teeth. The challenge is that they can break more easily and tend to only last for five to ten years. \u00a0Porcelain-on-metal is a good alternative because it combines the strength of metal with the appearance of porcelain.<\/p>\n

It is important to pick the material that you feel will accomplish your goals. \u00a0For example, an all-porcelain crown is not a good option for back teeth since it won\u2019t provide enough durability. \u00a0Simultaneously, all-metal crowns are not a good solution for front teeth since they completely stand out.<\/p>\n

Once your dental crown<\/strong>s are in place, you can take specific steps in order to keep them in good condition. This includes brushing and flossing throughout the day and visiting the dentist twice a year to have your teeth cleaned. This way your gums and teeth will stay free from infection and your crown will stay healthy. \u00a0After all your crown is on top of your tooth so if your roots become infected, that will impact the crown.<\/p>\n

Additionally, you can protect your crowns and your other teeth by wearing a mouth guard while playing sports. \u00a0Tooth injuries are extremely common, and this simple step can prevent many of them. \u00a0If you want to stay safe and prevent crown damage keep your teeth out of harms way, brush regularly, eat a healthy diet and don\u2019t grind your teeth. These simple steps will keep them in good condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
