Also known as "caps" Cosmetic Porcelain Crowns
are very attractive looking and provide a more natural look
as compared to amalgam or gold crowns. Although there are
of course the metal crowns are previously said, there are
porcelain-covered metal crowns and full porcelain crowns.
There are several reasons for which you may need or benefit
from a crown : excessive decay, root canal teeth, discoloved
teeth or fractures.
How is the crown made?
 Your
initial appointment requires tooth preparation which will
involve and removal of decay and grinding down of the tooth
using a specialized instruments. You will then have and impression
along with a representation for how your upper and lower jaws
come together (bite registration). The color for porcelain
crowns will also determined by matching your remaining natural
teeth. A Temporary crown will also be made which will somewhat
resemble your tooth. Your impression, the shade and bite registration
are sent to the lab where they will construct your porcelain
crown.
Within 2 weeks or more, it is sent back to your dentist's
office. When you reture, your dentist will remove your temporary
crown and ascertain your permanent crown fits well. Any adjustments
are made over your natural tooth. Your dentist will then have
you bite down on what look like thick carbon paper to check
your bite. If proper contact are not being made correctly
or your bite is uncomfortable, your dentist will ligthly drill
parts of your crown until the correch contact are made.
Denture
When you have space between your teeth due to lost from
periodental disease, injury or other reason, the denture will
help to keep the alignment of neighbouring teeth. There are
two types of denture. |

1. Partial Denture & Complete Denture
|
2. Crown & Bridge
|
| |
| Partial denture is made for one or more natural teeth remain
on the upper or lower jaw. It may be all plastic with/without
clasps or metal with plastic and clasps. The clasps are what
hold the partial denture place in the mouth. They are designed
to fit your mouth easily. |

Complete denture or full denture are made when all of your
natural teeth are missing. You can have a full denture on
your upper or lower jaw, or both.
Crown & Bridge are not removable like parfial or complete
denture. The are cemented in the mouth by dentist. Some
are all porcelain. Your dentist reduces the size of the
tooth needing a crown. An impression is taken along with
measurements of how your jaws relate to one another and
how much space is between them. The dental laboratory help
to make crown from the impression and registration. On any
final adjustment are made to the completed crown, your dentist
will cement the crown in place.
