Dental aesthetic restorations called all-ceramic crowns are used to cap or totally encase a tooth that is receiving repair. The most realistic-looking tooth replacements are all-ceramic crowns because they are transparent. Such translucency can only be seen in all-ceramic crowns. When a front tooth is severely damaged and cannot be fixed with a veneer or is fractured or cracked, an all-ceramic crown may be the best option for restoration.

Problems with All Ceramic Crown

Less Durable All-ceramic crowns are less durable than other dental crown varieties, although they can still survive for many years. Crowns made entirely of ceramic are more likely to shatter or crack. Nothing compares to an all-metal crown in terms of lifespan and toughness. When the look of an all-metal crown is unacceptable, PFMs (porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns) can provide both durability and cosmetic advantages. Additionally, ceramic crowns are less dependable. They don't have the same lifetime and durability records as PFM and all-metal crowns. In reality, some ceramic crown types have less favourable physical properties in terms of brittleness, hardness, and fracture resistance. If Breaks, No Repair Is Possible, Get a new one If the entire width of the all-ceramic crown is fractured, there is no way to fix it. It will be necessary to repair the restoration, ideally before germs can reach the tooth underneath and create issues like tooth decay or even recontamination of a tooth that underwent root canal therapy. A dental drill can be used to smooth out small chips. Dental composite can be used to patch up larger flaws, although the treatments' long-term viability may be more difficult.

Precautions before permanent crown is fixed

You'd usually get a temporary crown in your first visit. These are the few precautions since temporary dental crowns are just a temporary repair until a permanent crown is available.

• Avoid chewy, sticky foods like caramel and chewing gum because they can grasp the crown and pull it off.
• Use the side of your mouth that has the temporary crown as little as possible. Move most of your chewing to the other side of your mouth.
• Avoid chewing tough foods like raw vegetables because doing so could shatter or dislodge the crown.
• When cleaning in between your teeth, slide the dental floss rather than lifting it out to prevent ripping off the temporary crown

Precautions after the treatment

The crown needs to be kept clean just like you would take care of your natural teeth. While the crown itself cannot deteriorate, the area where the crown's edge meets the tooth can do so. Dental crowns typically last five to fifteen years. The amount of "wear and tear" a crown experiences depends on how well you practise good oral hygiene, and your own mouth-related behaviours can all affect how long a crown will last. These oral habits may include the following:

• Your teeth are being ground or clenched.
• ice chewing.
• gnawing on one's fingernails
• Make use of your teeth to open containers.

Additional tips for better & brighter teeth are

• Floss your teeth at least once daily
• Brush at least twice daily
• Avoid chewing on hard foods
• Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
• Come in for regular dental checkups and teeth cleanings
