Why Are Dental Crowns So Popular?

Do you have a discoloured filling or a heavily worn down tooth and would like to improve the appearance of your smile? Our dental teams in Clarkston, Paisley, Bridge of Weir, Houston and Edinburgh can transform your teeth and bring back the sparkle to your smile. One of the best ways to restore decayed, broken or worn down teeth is by placing a dental crown.

Dental crowns are one of the top treatments in dentistry - as a matter of fact, they are amongst the most popular forms of dental restoration, and they are commonly bonded to the natural tooth using special materials.

Dental Crowns

When a tooth is mostly made of filling, or is heavily broken down, the best option for restoring it is by placing a crown. A dental crown can protect your tooth from various oral health problems and diseases such as gingivitis, decay and gum infections. The main benefits of dental crowns are listed below.

 A crown can restore a worn down, decayed and heavily broken tooth.
 It can protect a weak or cracked tooth from breaking.
 A dental crown can support and cover a tooth with a large filling.
 A crown can cover a severely discoloured and misshapen tooth.

How does the dental crown procedure work?

As your dentist will use an anaesthetic, a crown fitting is a painless procedure. However, if you have had root canal treatment, you may not require anaesthetic as the nerves in your tooth have been removed, and you won’t be able to feel anything. First, your dentist needs to prepare your tooth so the crown can be easily attached. This might involve filing or drilling it down. Your dentist will then try the crown on the tooth to check that it sits correctly in your mouth.Once your dentist is happy with the fit, they will cement it into your mouth. Using a bonding agent, the dentist will fix the crown over the tooth. Sometimes, they’ll have to use a curing light to set it. After 10 minutes, your crown will be permanently fixed into your mouth.It’s normal to feel a degree of discomfort after your treatment. Your crown might feel strange in your mouth, but after a few days, it should feel completely normal.

What are dental crowns usually made of?

Traditionally crowns have been made from metal and would have porcelain layer on a top to try to give a natural looking tooth effect. Because the metal from the crown is dark grey, generally this would be seen through the porcelain in particular around the gum line. You may have a crown that looks like this already or know someone who does.

The reason that crowns were traditionally made from the metal was to provide support for the weak porcelain on the top.

At Brite Dental we use the most up to date technologies and materials offering you a stronger, healthier metal free alternative. Not only is this stronger but it actually looks like a natural tooth. Just look at the photographs in our case studies to see the difference.
