Versatile, tooth-colored restorations which may be included in a total smile makeover, dental crowns preserve and protect healthy tooth structure for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Dental Crowns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentists employ various materials to fabricate dental crowns. Among them are metal alloys, precious metals (the strongest) and solid porcelain. Porcelain crowns are very popular because of their lifelike appearance, lack of a dark line at the gums and durability. On the average, dental crowns last from five to 15 years with good at-home and in-office hygiene. Often, they are used with tooth-colored restorations such as composite resin fillings, fixed bridgework (to anchor up to three false teeth in a row) and partial dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Crown Treatment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin treatment, the dentist performs a thorough oral examination, including digital X-rays. He prepares the tooth to receive its restoration by removing any decay and old filling material. He then takes an oral impression to send to a trusted dental lab for fabrication of the crown. He may place a \u201ctemporary\u201d cap to protect the tooth in the interim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the lab, a skilled technician uses the dentist\u2019s instructions and the oral impressions to craft a perfect crown. At the next visit to Williamsburg Dental, the doctor glues the porcelain crown in place with special bonding cement and adjusts the bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Caring for a Dental Crown<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To care for their porcelain crowns, patients simply brush twice a day and floss daily as usual. Also, routine semi-annual exams and cleanings with Dr. Kotopka and his colleagues are important. Patients who grind or clench their teeth should consider wearing custom mouth guards at night to reduce wear and tear on their restorations. With good care, a smile renewed with dental crowns will last for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work to Preserve Your Teeth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You needn\u2019t suffer with failing teeth, nor do you have to lose teeth to extraction or injury.
