Crowning your teeth in Leeds

Whenever a tooth is damaged, be it through injury or by decay, it is imperative to repair it in order to maintain the status quo of the occlusion, (the ‘bite’ of the mouth), it is also prevents any further damage and infection to the remaining teeth. In order to do so, a crown is required.

Once the tooth has been cleaned and capped, the crown can be fitted, the type of which depends on where the damage has occurred. Different forces exist in different parts of the mouth so if the damage has happened towards the back of the mouth, a strong gold or porcelain-over-metal crown is required to take the chewing forces in this area, towards the front of the mouth however, there are less stresses go through the teeth, so a pure porcelain crown would suffice and would be more practical from a vanity point of view.

These theories also apply when complete tooth loss has occurred and crowns are being fitted onto dental implants. Most dentists in Leeds offer this type of reconstruction to the mouth and payment plans as well in order that there patients can be treated quickly. So the next time you are at the dentist, inquire about such payment plans in advance in order to be prepared for such problems arising.
