You may take excellent care of your teeth and gums, but improving their appearance often requires professional intervention. Porcelain crowns can be the best remedy for cracked, stained and chipped teeth with jagged edges.
You may have delayed improving your smile and chewing capacity out of fear or shame, but dentists like those at Desert Breeze Dental Las Vegas see a wide range of dental problems. Their dental school education has prepared them to offer treatment with the utmost respect for every patient.
Dentists use porcelain crowns when repairing teeth seen while smiling. With cosmetic dentistry training a dentist can make the crowned tooth blend with its neighbors. There are two types of porcelain used in dental crowns: feldspathic and pressed ceramic.
Dental lab technicians fabricate feldspathic crowns using 20-year-old, proven techniques. The lab technician tints the porcelain before forming its desired shape. Since lab technicians must grind pressed ceramic porcelain crowns into their desired shape, they apply any coloring or tint to the crown’s surface. While both laboratory procedures result in natural looking crowns, the feldspathic crown keeps its natural appearance when chipped or broken because the tint is part of the porcelain.
Dentists usually install crowns in two steps. The procedure begins with your dentist making impressions of your teeth, then attaching temporary crowns to the teeth targeted for permanent porcelain crowns, during your first office visit. When you return for your second visit, your dentist completes any preliminary treatments, like stabilizing the targeted teeth, then attaches your new crowns.
However, the time to discuss the color of the bonding cement is before your dentist attaches your temporary crowns. Porcelain crowns are translucent, so the cement’s color will influence that of the porcelain crown!
While porcelain crowns Las Vegas cost more than those containing gold, porcelain crowns strengthen damaged teeth having sound, healthy roots. Your crown’s cost is influenced by the number of visits needed to complete the procedure, and most dentists offer financing to cover expenses not covered by your dental insurance.
Your smile’s appearance can be as important as your overall dental health. You can walk out of your dentist’s office with porcelain crowns Las Vegas and your confidence restored, all expressed with a beautiful smile. Browse website for more information.
