Should I get porcelain crowns?

That’s why more and more people are choosing to improve the appearance of their teeth. However, many people are still afraid and wonder should they get porcelain teeth?
According to doctors, whether or not you should get porcelain crowns depends on the tooth condition and each person’s needs and decisions. Because not every tooth condition is suitable. If customers want to change the color and shape of their teeth and improve their smile aesthetics, please come directly to the dentist for a doctor to examine and advise on porcelain crown solutions.

- High aesthetics: brings even, beautiful teeth, confidently showing a perfect smile.
- Ensure chewing and physiological occlusion
- Protects real tooth pulp
- Improve defects in teeth: protruding teeth, underbites, gaps, misaligned teeth,…
Cases where porcelain crowns should improve teeth
Depending on each tooth condition, the doctor advises the customer whether they should have porcelain crowns for restoration. Here are some specific cases where doctors recommend porcelain crowns to protect oral health and renovate teeth to overcome disadvantages:
Ceramic crowns for decayed teeth
A decayed tooth is a tooth that has pathogens and bacteria that attack parts of the tooth. In case of mild tooth decay, tooth filling is a method to fix and prevent bacteria from continuing to attack. However, in cases where the cavity in the tooth is large and the tooth structure is no longer intact, tooth filling will not be as effective as porcelain crowns.
Ceramic crowns are designed in shape and size similar to real teeth. Once installed, the porcelain crown will cover the defectspot on tooth decay. At the same time, the porcelain crown acts as a protective layer for the real tooth inside, preventing bacteria from continuing to attack. If you protect your porcelain teeth properly, your porcelain teeth will have a long lifespan and prevent tooth decay from recurring.
Ceramic crowns for damaged teeth, root canal treatment
A tooth with dead pulp that has undergone root canal treatment will become hard and brittle, so it can easily break when exposed to external impact. At this time, the porcelain crown will protect the real tooth inside, ensuring aesthetics and good chewing. For teeth that have undergone root canal treatment without porcelain covering, the tooth will quickly be lost.
Porcelain crowns for uneven teeth
For mild cases of uneven teeth, slanted growth, crooked teeth, etc., porcelain crowns bring even, beautiful teeth aesthetics and save more time than braces.
The doctor will grind the teeth and take tooth impressions to make porcelain crowns. The porcelain crowns will be even and close to each other, standardizing the bite to overcome the defect of misalignment.
Ceramic crowns for protruding teeth and underbites
Protruding teeth and underbites are not caused by the jawbone. In mild cases, porcelain crowns can be used to correct defects. The doctor will grind the teeth, adjust the real tooth base and porcelain crown to make the teeth even and beautiful.
Ceramic crowns for gapped teeth
Spreaded teeth not only cause unsightliness but also easily trap food when chewing. In case the teeth are not too widely spaced, porcelain crowns will help the teeth align more quickly than braces. From there, it brings high aesthetics and chewing ability.
Yellow, heavily stained porcelain crowns
Yellow teeth, stained by food coloring, poor cleaning or antibiotic contamination all cause loss of aesthetics. This is the factor that makes many people feel self-conscious and do not want to show their smile in public. Furthermore, bleaching will not be effective in these cases. Therefore, porcelain crowns help bring more efficiency than whitening, helping teeth become whiter, brighter, even, and more confident in communication.
Ceramic crowns for nhFor those who need to improve the aesthetics and shape of their teeth, choosing porcelain crowns helps improve the shape of their teeth. At this time, customers can also choose their desired tooth shape to bring the most optimal aesthetics.
Cases where porcelain crowns should not be applied
Porcelain crowns provide an aesthetic solution, overcoming defects in many cases, but not all cases are suitable. Here are some cases where porcelain teeth should not be covered:
Bite deviation due to jaw bone structure
For cases of deviation caused by jaw bone structure, porcelain crowns will not be effective. At this time, jaw surgery is the most effective method to bring the jaw back to proper bite.
Teeth are too sensitive
If you have a weak and sensitive tooth base, the doctor advises you not to get porcelain crowns. Because during the porcelain crown process, teeth grinding is required, making the teeth weaker and more sensitive. At this time, the toothache lasts for a long time, making it difficult to eat and drink as usual.
Loose teeth
Loose teeth have many causes, mainly due to external influences such as impacts, falls,… or dental diseases. For adults, when teeth become loose, it means they can no longer be used. Tooth roots are no longer strong, plus tooth grinding will cause weak teeth and even permanent tooth loss.
Tooth decay, severe infection, periodontitis
These teeth covered with porcelain will not be effective because the infection is too severe. If left for a long time, the infection will spread and become more severe. In these cases, doctors recommend removing teeth and replanting dentures to protect and improve oral health.
Above is information about should porcelain teeth be covered, hopefully customers can answer their questions. If there is a need to refurbish teeth with porcelain crowns, customers should go directly to the dentist so that the doctor can examine the condition, oral health and get appropriate advice. Importantly, to have successful porcelain veneers, customers should choose a reputable dentistry that ensures doctor’s skills, modern machinery and equipment. Please contact My Auris Dental immediately for advice and to schedule an examination as soon as possible.
