AFFORDABLE DENTAL CROWNS

Rebuild Your Teeth With Affordable Dental Crowns

What is a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns may be recommended to help rebuild teeth that have been broken, weakened by decay, or extensive fillings. They can help protect and restore teeth that are either chipped or severely damaged. Dental crowns may also be helpful in improving an individual’s smile, and can be fitted over dental implants to help restore the original appearance of the teeth.

Types OF Dental Crown

Dental crowns serve as a versatile solution for helping to restore and protect teeth that have been compromised due to decay, damage, or aesthetic concerns. While each type of crown offers specific benefits tailored to different needs and preferences, selecting the right one requires understanding them. Here’s a closer look at the common types of dental crowns available:

Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM) Crowns

PFM crowns combine the strength of metal with the aesthetic appeal of porcelain. With a metal core covered in tooth-coloured porcelain, these crowns may be an affordable option for those mindful of their budget.

Full Porcelain

Full porcelain crowns are suitable for the front teeth, eliminating the metal line at the gum that often accompanies PFM crowns. Crafted entirely from porcelain, these crowns may mimic the teeth’s original appearance, resulting in a more natural appearance.

Zirconia Crown

Zirconia crowns are generally recommended for their strength and natural white appearance, making them a preferred choice to help restore teeth that have been stained or disfigured over time. Known for their durability and ease of use, Zirconia crowns may be a long-lasting option to help enhance an individual’s dental aesthetics.

When to Consider Dental Crowns

The dentist may recommend dental crowns if you:

Have discoloured or asymmetrical tooth
Have fractured or broken tooth
Want to cover your dental implants
Want to prevent your weak tooth from fracturing
Had a Root Canal Treatment done
Want to hold together parts of a cracked tooth

Potential Risks Associated with Crown Treatment

While dental crowns may be a recommended form of dental restoration, they come with potential risks, including:

Post-operative sensitivity
Irreversible pulpitis/pulp necrosis
Tooth fracture
Crown/ bridge fracture
Crown/ bridge dislodgement
Secondary caries/ decay
Periodontal disease
Unsatisfactory lab work
Restricted mouth opening

How to Care for Dental Crowns

Taking care of your dental crowns is crucial to ensure they last as long as possible. This involves:

Practicing proper dental hygiene habits: Regular brushing and flossing, with an extra layer of attention around the dental crown and adjacent teeth.
Routine dental check-ups: Regular visits to the dentists may help to preempt any issues with your dental crown.
Wearing a mouthguard during sports activities: If you’re someone who’s particularly active in sports, this may help protect your teeth from trauma and damage that could endanger the longevity of your dental crown.
