Porcelain Teeth - Metal Crown (No Warranty)
A dental crown may be required in the following cases:
- To protect a weakened tooth (e.g., due to decay) from breaking or to repair cracks.
- To restore a broken or severely damaged tooth.
- To cover or fill a large cavity.
- To support a dental bridge.
- To conceal severely discolored or misaligned teeth.
- To cover a dental implant.
- For cosmetic orthodontic purposes.
Dental Crowns for Children:
For children, dental crowns can be used on primary (baby) teeth for the following reasons:
- To save a severely decayed tooth that cannot be restored with a filling.
- To protect teeth from further decay, especially for children who have difficulty maintaining oral hygiene.
- To treat cases where anesthesia cannot be used due to the child’s age or health condition.
In such situations, metal crowns may be recommended for children by the dentist.
What is Myobrace – Orthodontic Appliance?
Metals used for dental crowns include high-content gold or platinum alloys or plated alloys (such as cobalt-chromium and nickel-chromium alloys).
Metal crowns are highly resistant to biting and chewing forces and have the longest lifespan. They are also rarely chipped or broken.
The downside of this type of crown is its unnatural metallic color. However, metal crowns are an excellent choice for back molars that are hidden from view.
AFTER IMPLANT PLACEMENT
- Patients are cared for to control any pain if present and temporary teeth are attached if necessary.
- Usually, after 3 months for the lower jaw and 6 months for the upper jaw, the doctor will proceed to attach the porcelain crown to the implant post. At this point, the patient has almost completed the treatment and can chew normally as if using real teeth.
- In some cases with good bone quality, implants will stabilized immediately after placement, and favorable occlusion, immediate crowns can be placed for the patient.
