Dental Crowns: What Are They? How Are They Applied?

Dental crowns are a treatment method used for occasional material loss or aesthetic changes in teeth. When material loss cannot be repaired with fillings, dental crowns are applied. With dental crowns, some amount of abrasion may be necessary on the teeth. The amount of abrasion varies depending on the type of prosthesis to be crowned, aesthetic expectations, and the professionalism of the dentist.

In dental crown treatments, metal or non-metal materials are used in the impression and retentive areas. Ceramic dental crowns are applied to the visible part of the tooth to achieve a natural appearance.

Dental crown applications, like all our other dental treatments, are performed under the approval and guidance of professional dentists. All your crowns are applied with adhesives that will not harm your teeth and tissues.

With your dental crowns, you can have flawlessly looking, healthy teeth.

What Are Dental Crowns, and How Should They Be Done?

In cases where teeth show unwanted results such as decay, the process starts with cleaning these teeth. Then, crown applications are made to achieve an aesthetic appearance of the teeth. For this, prosthetic teeth and molds are created.

Various materials such as ceramic, zirconium, and porcelain can be used for crown procedures.

What Materials Are Used in Dental Crowns?

To ensure that your dental crowns are natural and long-lasting, we use materials at our center that are untouched by hand and do not harm your health, with the latest technology.

The most commonly used materials today are:

• Porcelain

• Full-Porcelain

• Metal Alloyed Porcelain

• Ceramic

• Zirconium, and other types of crowns are used.

How Long Does the Dental Crown Treatment Take?

Thanks to the CEREC technology in our clinic, we can perform single full porcelain crowns in just one session. The duration may vary depending on the decay rates in the teeth and the recovery processes. Together with our professional dentists at our center, we aim to complete the process in the highest quality and long-lasting manner.

How Should Dental Care Be After Dental Crowns?

After dental crowns, your teeth do not require special care. Continuing the regular care processes you apply to protect your healthy teeth is sufficient. This includes brushing your teeth at least twice a day and using dental floss at regular intervals for deep cleaning.

What Changes Occur After Dental Crowns?

Patients adapt to their new conditions in a short time. Because the missing parts of the teeth are completed, this can create a different sensitivity in the mouth. During these times, our patients are in constant communication with our dentists.

By paying attention to our oral and dental health before and after all treatment processes, we can have a healthy and aesthetic smile.
