If you have tooth decay or a condition that cannot be treated with a filling and affects your daily life, the question “How is dental crown treatment done?” may come to mind. In this article, we will answer the question of how dental crowns are applied.

If you wish, let’s take a closer look together at the answer to the question: How is dental crown treatment done?

There are several methods available for dental crown procedures. Below, we explain step by step how dental crowns are applied and which methods are used.

  1. First, measurements of the teeth to be crowned are taken.
  2. After the dental impressions are taken, the appropriate crown material is selected.
  3. Once the measurements are completed, oral and dental cleaning is performed.
  4. To create the proper shape for the dental crown, molds are prepared and temporarily placed on the teeth.
  5. To determine whether the crown fits properly, the patient uses the temporarily placed mold for a short period.
  6. If any discomfort or problem occurs while the mold is in place, corrective treatment is applied.
  7. Finally, once everything is confirmed to be satisfactory, the dental crown is permanently placed.

Are There Different Types of Dental Crowns?

Yes, there are three main types of dental crowns. These are zirconium crowns, porcelain crowns, and metal-supported dental crowns.

Each type of crown has its own price, durability, and characteristics. Basically, all three types serve the same function. You can choose the most suitable option according to your personal preference.

We would like to provide you with more detailed information about zirconium, porcelain, and metal-supported crowns. Let’s start with zirconium crowns.

Zirconium Dental Crowns: Zirconium crowns are easy to shape and can easily achieve a white color.

  • Zirconium dental crowns do not look artificial thanks to their natural appearance; on the contrary, they look very natural.
  • They do not contain metal in their structure.
  • Since zirconium crowns do not cause sensitivity, you can comfortably consume hot and cold foods and beverages.
  • They have a long lifespan.

Of course, they also have some disadvantages, but their advantages are more prominent.

Porcelain Dental Crowns: Porcelain dental crowns are a traditional method that has been preferred from the past to the present. They are highly aesthetic and help restore self-confidence. Unlike metal-containing crowns, they do not cause scratches on the tooth surface.

Metal-Supported Dental Crowns: These crowns are applied to increase durability. However, they have several disadvantages. Over time, they may cause bad breath and tooth decay.

How Is Dental Crown Cleaning Done?

To use dental crowns for a longer time and maintain oral health, regular crown care is essential. Teeth should be brushed at least twice a day, and the spaces between crowns should be cleaned using dental floss. Food residues left between teeth can cause bad breath over time.

To fully prevent bad breath, using miswak in the initial stage, brushing teeth in the traditional way, and using dental floss will be sufficient. If you have any questions or concerns about this topic, feel free to contact us. Stay well, and see you in our next blog post.
