How you Can Restore your Smile with Dental Crowns

There's nothing more annoying than not being able to do simple things like eating, talking, or drinking water. Toothache is not something to take lightly and if pain increases it's necessary to visit your dentist to give you a diagnosis. 

One of the most common causes of toothache is cracked teeth, which means that a crown on the affected tooth is needed. But what to do when the procedures are beyond your budget? Let's find out. 

What is a Dental Crown? dental-crown-cost-in-mexico

First is necessary to know what a dental crown is, and why it has become one of the most requested treatments in Los Algodones. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap.

The cap serves as a tooth and is virtually impossible to distinguish from real teeth. It has a translucency that is very similar to natural teeth.

If you have a weakened or broken tooth, a crown can be used to support it, hold a dental bridge, cover a misshaped tooth, cover severely discolored teeth, cover a dental implant, or make other cosmetic modifications.

Dental crowns can help in a wide variety of problems, either cosmetic or oral health issues. Also, you have a variety of options for crowns, for example, Porcelain Fused to Metal, Porcelain Full Gold/Full Gold, Porcelain/E-MAX, and Zirconia.

Types of Crowns

Porcelain Fused to Metal

Porcelain fused to metal crowns are very common. They combine the strength of a metal base with the cosmetic covering of tooth-colored porcelain.

The average time for elaboration is 3 days (72 hours). An advantage of this type of crown is that it can be matched to your teeth’ color, improving your image and self-esteem.

With these dental crowns sometimes a small metal underlying can be seen. For this reason, many patients prefer this type of crown for the back teeth.

Overall, these crowns are a good choice for teeth that are cracked, weakened, or misshaped.

Porcelain Fused to Gold / Full Gold

Porcelain fused to gold or full gold crowns are a traditionally use kind of crown; first used over nineteen hundred years ago, by the wealthy.

This crown is still popular today and is used by several patients. Porcelain fused to gold/full gold crowns have several advantages:

  • Gold Crowns take less tooth width, meaning that much of your tooth and enamel is left untouched.
  • Gold Crowns are very durable and do not cause an allergic reaction in most patients.
  • Gold Crowns are preferred for their longevity and serve for a long period.

Porcelain E-MAXE-max-crowns-mexico

Full porcelain crowns give the best cosmetic results by best producing the natural look of a tooth, matching both the shape and exact color of the patient's surrounding teeth.

They are not as strong as porcelain fused to metal and for this reason, these dental crowns are only recommended for front teeth.

They are suitable for people with mental allergies.

The E-Max crown is best suited for stained or damaged teeth. Their lifelike shape and beautiful cosmetic results will make you want to smile at every opportunity you have.

The average time for elaboration is 4 days.

Zirconia

Zirconium crowns are made from a ceramic material called zirconia. It is a very strong ceramic able to withstand the wear and tear of every day.

Zirconium is so strong and biocompatible that Doctors used them in medical applications, such as artificial joints.

This crown is long-lasting and after a few modifications, it is made aesthetically translucent, very similar to a natural tooth, reflecting light in much the same way.

Because this crown does not have any metal components, patients are least likely to develop an allergic reaction.

The time for elaboration is 5 days.
