The types of Dental crowns and their Need

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are placed on the tooth to give it a covering and to restore its size, shape, strength, and enhance its appearance. When cemented, crowns fully encase the visible area of the tooth that lies at the gum line.

Dental Crowns: why are they needed?

1. For restoring a broken or severely worn out tooth 
2. To protect a weak tooth from decay or hold a cracked tooth together.
3. For holding a dental bridge
4. For supporting and covering a tooth with a big filling when there is not much tooth left
5. For covering severely discolored or misshapen teeth
6. Cosmetic modifications
7. For covering a dental implant
8. In case of children, crowns are used on primary teeth to:

(a)  Save the tooth that has been severely damaged and can't support filling.

(b)  Securing teeth that are at a higher risk for tooth decay.

Porcelain-fused-to-metal: The color of these dental crowns can match to your adjacent teeth. When compared to other options, porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns look the most like natural teeth. However, at times the metal under the crown's porcelain can look like a dark line, particularly at the gum line and even more when your gums recede. These crowns are a good choice for back and front teeth. All-resin dental crowns can be less expensive in comparison to other crown types. However, according to dentist open Sunday, they wear down after some time and are prone to fractures.

Temporary Vs. permanent. Temporary crowns can easily be made in the dentist's office, while permanent crowns are created in the dental laboratory. One can use acrylic or stainless steel as a temporary restoration until a permanent crown can be constructed in the lab.

To prepare your tooth for a crown your affordable dental care will require a couple of visits to the dentist- the first step comprises of preparing and examining the tooth, the second visit involves placing a permanent crown.
