Dental crowns
When dental restorations or fillings fail, dental crowns are placed over the crown of the tooth, restoring its shape, strength and beauty.
A dental crown,
sometimes called a dental frame, is a type of dental prosthesis that takes the
place of a damaged tooth crown. Crowns are glued to the tooth, covering the
visible part. You can think of these crowns as hard hats for your teeth,
restoring their appearance and strength.
Types of dental
veneers
·
Dental steel coating (stainless steel):
Stainless
steel crowns are prefabricated crowns that are usually temporarily placed on Permanent
Retainer.
It is mostly
used for children. These veneers cover the entire tooth and prevent further
decay.
·
Metal or all-metal dental veneers:
These samples
withstand the pressures caused by chewing and biting well, and compared to the
types of dental veneers, they are the most durable against wear.
·
Dental veneers (PFM):
These veneers
closely resemble your real teeth. And they are a good choice for back teeth,
front teeth, as well as long bridges that need metal strength.
·
All-resin dental veneers:
It has a lower price than all types of dental
veneers, but it wears out over time and is more prone to breakage than
metal-ceramic veneers.
·
All ceramic veneers (porcelain):
They are similar to natural teeth. These
covers are very suitable for people who are allergic to metal and they have
many fans as a front tooth cover.
·
Zirconia veneer:
Zirconia
veneer is an all-ceramic veneer reinforced by zirconium frames. The structure
of this coating is similar to the PFM sample, with the difference that the
metal in its center is made of zirconium.
·
Temporary or immediate dental veneers
But there is
another type of coating, which is called DIY veneer:
DIY veneers
are a type of dental veneer that can be made and applied at home without the
need for a dentist. They are typically made from resin or acrylic and are
designed to cover the front surface of the teeth, improving their appearance.
DIY veneers
come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be customized to fit the
individual's teeth. They are usually applied using an adhesive which is
included in the kit, and can be removed easily if necessary.
While DIY
veneers may seem like a cost-effective alternative to professional dental
veneers, they come with several risks. Firstly, they may not fit properly,
causing discomfort or even damage to the teeth. Secondly, they may not provide
the same level of durability and longevity as professional veneers, meaning
they may need to be replaced more frequently.
It Is
important to note that DIY veneers should not be used as a substitute for
proper dental care. Regular brushing and flossing, as well as regular dental
check-ups, are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
What is the
best type of dental veneer?
If we only
consider the application and strength, maybe full metal covers (especially
gold) are the best option. But this option is practically out of the question
because of its appearance and its price. Veneers that better show the
appearance of the tooth also sometimes have a worrying fragility, especially
the all-resin samples.
Ceramic and metal-ceramic dental crowns are
the best types of dental crowns. Of course, the validity and use of other
models is also reserved.
