When an adult has crooked or crowded teeth, he often thinks he has to deal with it but confusion often presents itself in asking how to do so. They sometimes feel as if they are too old for braces, and thus suffer through life without answers and effectively without smiling. A Bondi Beach dentist such as Dr Sih can actually transform a mouth and make the teeth look perfectly spaced and aligned though modern restorative techniques. After cosmetic and restorative techniques are applied a patient may opt for the use of crowns in some circumstances.
Crowns and Crowding
Crowns completely change the look of the teeth and give people the smile they have always wanted.
If you choose to go through this procedure, your Bondi Beach dentist will examine you so he will know the best type of crown for you, as well as what steps need to be taken in order to have a successful procedure. He will look at the size of your teeth and the proximity of your teeth to one another. That is how he will tell how he needs to proceeded.
He might have to file your tooth down to make room for the crown. On the other hand, if your tooth is spaced far away from your other teeth or decayed, he might actually have to use filling composite to make your tooth bigger so the crown can latch onto it. Various other scenarios also present themselves in at this point that our dentist can explain to you in depth.
Crown Aesthetics
No matter whether your dentist strips your tooth down or builds it up, he will shape it in a way that will make it easy for him to affix the crown to it. The tooth will be carefully shaped so the crown will not interfere with other teeth in your mouth.
After our Bondi Beach dentist thinks your teeth are ready to receive the crown, he will need to make sure accurate analysis and finite calculations of measurement and aesthetics are made. You will have impressions made of the tooth that was prepared for the crown, as well as the surrounding teeth. These impressions are not just for the sake of making sure your teeth are the right shape. They are also used to ensure your bite will not be changed for the worse with the crown. The idea of the crown is to make your teeth more uniformed, and thus, your dentist will not want to throw your bite off. Your Bondi Beach dentist will work to make sure your crowns will help you and not hurt you.
Temporary Crowns
You may receive a temporary crown that you will need to wear until your permanent crown is made. As soon as your crown is made, you will be able to go in and get your new smile. This process typically takes two weeks.
The new crown will be placed in your mouth and at that point, you will be able to see a marked improvement in your teeth.
Time Constraints and Crowns
Braces take months or even years to do what crowns can do instantly. The entire process takes approximately two weeks, starting with the first appointment and ending with the crown placement. As soon as they are fitted, you will notice the difference.
People that are suffering from crowded or crooked teeth can get the look of a new set of teeth. Crowns are long lasting and a relatively easy dental procedure. Your Bondi Beach dentist can put crowns in your mouth and your smile will be permanently changed.
