This will prevent the shifting of your surrounding digits that leads to bite issues and possible infection. Additionally, your new <a href=\"http:\/\/ds.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">restorations<\/a> will improve your smile. As you read on, your dentist explains why this type of crown is the best option for restoring the oral function that you\u2019ve been missing.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What is a Porcelain Crown?<\/h2>\n<p>A porcelain crown is a custom-made, tooth-colored prosthetic that fits over a damaged digit to strengthen it and restore its normal appearance. Here\u2019s how the process works:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Preparation <\/strong>\u2013 For your new crown to fit properly, your dentist may have to shape your current tooth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bite Impression <\/strong>\u2013 The next step is to take a bite impression that will be used to fabricate the permanent prosthetic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Provisional Crown <\/strong>\u2013 The measurements will be sent to a trusted lab that will create your permanent crown. Meanwhile, you\u2019ll be fitted with a temporary fixture to protect you from infection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Final Fitting <\/strong>\u2013 When your restoration is ready, you\u2019ll be invited back to your dentist\u2019s office to be fitted, and you\u2019ll leave with a fully functional and aesthetically appealing new smile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Difference Between Porcelain and Traditional Crowns<\/h2>\n<p>A traditional crown may be created from a mixture of porcelain and metal alloys and offers a secure bonding process. Another reason that this method is used is that metal is highly-resistant to corrosion. There are two challenges presented with taking this route, though:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some people have allergic reactions to the alloys.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s not aesthetically pleasing to have a piece of metal in the mouth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why Patients Choose Porcelain Crowns<\/h2>\n<p>Patients benefit from the fact that porcelain crowns offer both a better-looking and more functional smile. The prosthetics will match the natural color of your teeth and will be affixed using a resin that, with the help of a special curing light, fastens them in place to perfectly align with your other teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019re restored, you\u2019ll also notice the following benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Increased confidence<\/li>\n<li>Ability to chew normally<\/li>\n<li>Prevention of other dental problems like shifting and infection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Restoring your missing teeth doesn\u2019t have to be complicated or an inconvenience. With the help of your dentist in Plano, you can soon be back to living a normal life.
