It has been traditional for prosthodontic crowns to be made from porcelain fused to metal as part of their construction.\u00a0 There are still many dental professionals who use this solid combination as a simple and cost-effective solution.\u00a0 A more recent development has been the introduction of fully ceramic Procera\u00ae crowns, which have revolutionized the aesthetics of many smiles.\u00a0 There is no difference between Procera\u00ae crowns and traditional crowns as they function exactly the same way, but since they are made of a 100% ceramic material, they look far more natural than traditional crowns.<\/span><\/p> The purpose of placing a dental crown is usually to strengthen a tooth that has been injured.\u00a0 There is no doubt that most dental professionals agree that, when possible, it is preferable to restore a natural tooth rather than replace it with a prosthetic alternative in most cases.\u00a0 There is no doubt that Procera\u00ae crowns are precision-engineered to create a beautiful fit and bring full functionality to an injured tooth.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t It is important to keep in mind that unlike the majority of the body, the teeth are not capable of extensive healing.\u00a0 Therefore, once the enamel (or surface) of a tooth has been damaged in some way, it is not able to heal itself once the tooth has been injured.\u00a0 It is important to understand that dental crowns are placed in order to stabilize damaged teeth and prevent further damage from spreading.\u00a0 It is possible for the enamel to be damaged by trauma, bacterial infections, or decay. After a root canal procedure, it is common to use a crown to seal the tooth.<\/span><\/p> The Procera\u00ae crowns are a superior alternative to porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns (PFM). These advantages include:<\/strong><\/p> There is no doubt that placing a crown is one of the most common and straightforward procedures that dental professionals perform on a regular basis.\u00a0 Prior to treatment, X-rays and impressions are taken and a thorough examination is conducted in order to determine the best treatment plan.\u00a0 A dental professional should evaluate the health of adjacent teeth and gums to ensure that there are no underlying problems.<\/span><\/p> During the shaping of the tooth, a local anesthetic is administered in order to prevent any discomfort.\u00a0 It is necessary to shape the tooth in order to ensure that the crown will fit snugly on the tooth.\u00a0 The process is performed slowly and carefully in order to prevent damage to the soft tissues surrounding the tooth.\u00a0 Following the preparation of the tooth, the dental professional creates an accurate mold of the tooth and selects the porcelain color.\u00a0 During the time that the custom Procera\u00ae crown is being created in the lab, a temporary crown is placed on the patient.<\/span><\/p> At the next appointment, the temporary crown will be removed and the permanent crown will be placed.\u00a0 To ensure that bacteria are eliminated from the inner tooth, it is thoroughly cleansed.\u00a0 Using luting cement, the permanent Procera\u00ae crown is affixed onto the tooth, creating a beautiful smile once it is attached to the tooth.<\/span><\/p> Feel free to contact our office if you have any questions or concerns regarding Procera\u00ae crowns.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Our dentists pride themselves on putting your needs first and offering FREE PARKING<\/strong> \u2014 a rarity for downtown dentists.
