TM Prosthodontics Explains the Importance of Dental Crowns

MIAMI, March 28, 2019 (Newswire.com) - According to TM Prosthodontics, a dental crown is an efficient dental restoration procedure for covering damaged, broken or crooked teeth. Full white cups are placed over the damaged portion of a tooth or dental implant, which lies above or at the gum line and appears like natural teeth. When the tooth crown is placed, it becomes the tooth’s new outer surface, which does the normal function like natural teeth in place of just repairing a tooth or filling it up.

Dental crowns are generally permanently cemented into the broken or crooked teeth. The final tooth-crown made after the dental crown placement results in adequate functioning like a natural tooth.

Need Of A Dental Crown

There are many situations when a dentist suggests a dental crown for appropriately restoring a tooth. Here are some most common situations where a dental crown is advised by a prosthodontist in Miami:

Large Filling

When there is a fracture or cavity in the tooth, (in half or more than half the width of the tooth), it is covered with a dental crown to stop further damage to the tooth and its neighboring teeth. Since the remaining tooth in the large filling becomes weak, there are high risks of fracture.

There are incidences of large fillings showing signs of cracks around the filling or stress when the filling is in the mouth for long. It is suggested to replace it by a crown to stop any further damage which affects the jawbone if left untreated.

Root Canal

In a root canal treatment, a tooth is left hollowed after the root canal, making the remaining tooth predisposed to cracking. Almost every root canal tooth needs to be restored with a crown Miami after a month of the root canal treatment to avoid any fractures or breaks. A dental crown on the tooth that receives a root canal strengthens the damaged tooth as well as improves the appearance of the teeth.

The dental crowns are made like a natural tooth, resembling the shape, color, and alignment of a person's teeth. There are various treatment alternatives, but the dental crown is the best dental restoration method owing to several benefits, strength and lifelong durability. During the cementing of a new crown, the dentist uses a local anesthetic to numb the tooth.

In the end, it is vital to take some precautions to avoid any damage to the crown. People undergoing the treatment should avoid chewy or sticky food because it can pull the crown off.
