DENTAL CROWNS IN BANGKOK
What Are Dental Crowns?
A procedure for a dental crown in Bangkok is a type of restoration that caps or encircles the vital tooth that has been destroyed by large cavities, cracks, trauma or even from root canal treatment. Crowns will be advised by dentists when minimal good tooth structure is left and situations where conventional fillings cannot hold up very well. Crowns not only restore teeth back to functionality, but they can also protect them from fracturing under loads.
Types of Dental Crown Materials
- Full-Metal Crowns: This type of material has been conventionally used for many decades. They are known for strength, good margin adaptation, conservative tooth preparation and excellent longevity. Nowadays, full-metal crowns are the restoration of choice for posterior teeth in high load (but unaesthetic ) areas and short clinical crowns.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-metal ( PFM ) crowns: these crowns are more esthetic-pleasing compared with the first type due to a porcelain veneer on top of a metal substructure in order to mimic tooth color. This makes them suitable for wider applications. As a result, they are routinely used in most cases as they combine the qualities of good functions and acceptable aesthetics.
- All-Ceramic Crowns: All-ceramic crowns have been developed due to high aesthetic demands over the past 30 years. High strength ceramics such as Lithium-disilicate, Alumina or Zirconia, are used as a substructure instead of conventional metal alloys. Since the colors of the ceramic are more similar to a natural tooth, the problem of dark metal showing from conventional porcelain-fused-to-metal prostheses can be minimized, and all-ceramic crowns can also mimic many characteristics of natural teeth.As a result, all-ceramic crowns and prostheses have become more and more popular these days. However, with the nature of ceramic being that it can break under high loads, careful material selection, prosthetic design and case selection by an experienced Dentist is crucial to success in these cases. Additionally, a thorough examination and details consideration are also vital in order to achieve successful treatments.
Step-by-Step for Crowns
- Shade selection
- Tooth preparation, impression and installation of a temporary crown. The temporary crown is placed for 3-7 days during the laboratory fabrication.
- Crown delivery and cementation on the second visit.
Cleaning Maintenance
Since crowns are fixed on teeth and cannot be removed for cleaning, crowns must be taken care just like other healthy teeth. Regular tooth brushing, flossing and fluoride use are important to prevent gum problems and decay occurring underneath the crown margins.
Treatment Time
In general, it will take 2 visits(3-7 days for each dental crown)
