Gold Crowns
When you have severe damage to a tooth, drastic tooth restoration will be required to save that tooth. One option for treatment is the placement of a gold crown. A gold crown is precision-crafted in a dental laboratory, and the patient will need to make two or more trips to a Houston Cosmetic Dentist to first make a mold that the lab can use to make a crown, and second to mount the gold crown when it is ready.
Gold has always been highly sought after because it its beauty and unique scientific uses. for both its beauty and its unique practical uses. It offers remarkable advantages in dentistry.
Like all crowns, gold protects teeth by covering it. However, it also contributes other unique benefits:
· It wears very little on your opposing teeth.
· Gold is very strong can handle bite pressure.
· Gold is enduring.
Careful steps have to be taken in order to successfully coordinate action with the lab and give you a successful outcome. We have to evaluate the tooth itself. We have to find out if the tooth has been damaged by decay or accidents.
Your tooth has to be reshaped either way. We have to remove decay, and if there has been a fracture the tooth has to have its remaining surface remolded to hold a gold crown. The dentist has to numb your mouth and place a rubber dam at the back of the mouth in order to protect your esophagus and throat from dental debris.
The dentist will then take impressions of your teeth that the lab can use to build a replica of the patient’s mouth. This replica goes to a lab, where technicians will use it as a template, of sorts, to make a gold-crown that custom-fits the mouth and the tooth being restored.
This can take up to two weeks. In the meantime, the dentist will place a temporary crown on the tooth at the end of the first visit. The temporary will protect the work the dentist has done and prevent debris or decay from affecting it.
Once the dental lab sends back your gold crown, you come back for the fitting. Your crown must go over the tooth to make so it lines up evenly with the tops of other teeth. We must make sure that it is even with your bite, so that when you bite down while chewing it does cut into your cheek or lips.
Once everything checks out, the gold crown can now be mounted permanently in place. Dental cement may be used for this, but dental bonding resin is becoming a more preferred substance in today’s world of cosmetic dentistry.
