Full Porcelain Crowns
An aesthetic smile is the expression of power;
the smile is the sharp sword of this power.
Full porcelain crowns are thin, porcelain crowns used to completely cover the teeth. They cover both the front and side surfaces of the teeth. Therefore, they can be used to change the shape, size, color and even position of the teeth. Full porcelain crowns are used as a solution for tooth decay, broken teeth, tooth wear and other dental problems.
Full porcelain crowns mimic the appearance of natural teeth. Therefore, they make your teeth look natural and are extremely aesthetically pleasing. Additionally, full porcelain crowns are as durable as natural teeth and are highly resistant to decay. In addition, crowns strengthen your teeth while repairing tooth decay and fractures.
One of the disadvantages of full porcelain crowns is that these crowns are more costly than other alternatives. However, given the durability and aesthetic appearance of crowns, they are often worth the cost. Also, like all other dental crowns, placing crowns can be a somewhat invasive procedure.
Placing full porcelain crowns is a two-stage process. First, the top layer of the tooth is removed and then a mold suitable for the size of the tooth is prepared. This mold is used for the fabrication of the crown in a dental laboratory. After the crown production is completed, the crown is permanently bonded to the tooth as the second stage. Various adhesives and special materials are used to properly place the crown and bond it to the tooth.
Full porcelain crowns are very durable. However, like other types of crowns, it is necessary to avoid contact with hard and sharp objects. The durability of crowns depends on the quality of the porcelain material, the structure of the crown and the quality of the procedures performed by the dentist. Additionally, the life of crowns can be extended by regular brushing of teeth, use of dental floss and dentist check-ups.
The care of full porcelain crowns is the same as the care of natural teeth. Teeth should be brushed at least twice a day, flossed and gargled with mouthwash. Additionally, periodic check-ups recommended by the dentist should not be neglected. Additionally, avoiding bad habits such as clenching or grinding your teeth also increases the durability of crowns.
The lifespan of full porcelain crowns can vary between 10-15 years if properly cared for. However, the duration of use depends on the nature of the dentist, the quality of the materials, the care of the teeth and the dental health of the patient. In order for crowns to last longer, it is important to follow dentist recommendations.
The color options of full porcelain crowns are designed to match the natural tooth color. The color of the crowns is determined to match the color of the patient’s teeth. Additionally, the dentist takes into account the slight differences in tone of the patient’s teeth and adjusts the color of the crowns accordingly.
Full porcelain crowns, unlike other types of crowns, give the result closest to natural teeth. They are also preferred aesthetically because they do not have a metal appearance, unlike metal-supported crowns. Additionally, because they are biocompatible, they conform to the gums, increasing the patient’s comfort.
