Dental Crown in Thailand - Procedure, Cost, Material

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth. It is cemented onto existing teeth or implant to cover and restore the tooth. This restorative dentistry betters the shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance. Dental crown helps fix teeth that are not beautiful, unevenly colored, or are broken. Crowns ensure restoration of tooth into a condition you had before and better. 

How is Dental Crown performed?

Before undergoing Dental Crown treatment the dentist requires an examination. A dental examination will provide information and condition of your teeth, to set the proper extent and material of the Dental Crown treatment. Secondly, the dentist will create a mould of the mouth to create a customized dental crown in the lab. 

Once the mould or cap is made, the original size of the tooth will be reduced to fit the crown. Alongside the dentist will provide with local anesthetic to lower pain and any discomfort during the procedure. 

Dental crown treatment will be completed in 2 sessions, 2 appointments. 1 session to create a mould and 2nd session to fit it.

Why you need a Dental Crown?

The fundamental reason for Dental Crown is to restore a tooth. The tooth may be broken, discolored, weak or chipped; you need a dental crown to fix it. The dentist may recommend a Dental Crown to cover a dental implant,  hold a dental bridge in place or to support a tooth with large filing. The last reason is you simply want a cosmetic modification to your current teeth. You want them beautiful and healthy. 

Post-care for Temporary Dental Crown

Temporary dental crowns are just a temporary fix until a permanent crown is ready - most dentists suggest that a few precautions:

1. Avoid sticky, chewy foods which have the potential of grabbing and pulling off the crown.

2. Avoid chewing hard foods (such as raw vegetables), which could dislodge or break the crown.

3. Minimize use of the side of your mouth with the temporary crown. Shift the bulk of your chewing to the other side of the mouth.

4. Slide flossing material out-rather than lifting out-when cleaning your teeth

Types of Dental Crown

Permanent crowns can be made from stainless steel, all metal (such as gold or another alloy), porcelain-fused-to-metal, all resin, or all ceramic.

Stainless steel

Prefabricated crowns that are used on permanent teeth primarily as a temporary measure. The crown protects the tooth or filling while a permanent crown is made from another material. In general, stainless steel crowns are used for children's teeth because they don't require multiple dental visits.

Metals

Crowns include gold alloy, other alloys (for example, palladium), or a base-metal alloy (for example, nickel or chromium). Metal crowns withstand biting and chewing forces well and probably last the longest in terms of wear down. Also, metal crowns rarely chip or break. 

Porcelain-fused-to-metal dental crowns

This type of crown can be color-matched to your adjacent teeth (unlike the metallic crowns). The crown's porcelain portion can also chip or break off. Next to all-ceramic crowns, porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns look most like normal teeth. These crowns can be a good choice for front or back teeth.

All-resin dental crowns

These are less expensive than other crown types. However, they wear down over time and are more prone to fractures than porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns.

All-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns

This crown type provide better natural color match than any other crown type and are more suitable for people with metal allergies. However, they are not as strong as porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns and they wear down opposing teeth a little more than metal or resin crowns. All-ceramic crowns are a good choice for front teeth.

Zirconia or milled crown

These are digitally constructed either in an office that has the software and hardware to produce them or in a dental lab. Dental offices that have the software and hardware have the ability to produce a crown in one visit with no need for a temporary. These crowns require no impression.
