If you have a broken down, chipped or cracked tooth you are probably anxious about dealing with it so that you can improve the look of your smile. But what is the best option when dentists offer such a variety of procedures? One to consider is having a dental crown fitted to effectively cover it up, allowing to smile once more with pride and relax in social situations.
Modern dental crowns are incredibly durable and discreet. They are basically a covering that will conceal your broken down or cracked tooth so consummately that no one will even know that it is not your natural tooth.
Thanks to advances in the technology available in dental surgeries throughout the United Kingdom, dental crowns can be fitted with amazing swiftness. Many dentists can now take a digital x-ray of your mouth and send the data to an online milling which will craft your dental crown in just over five minutes. It will be ready to fit there and then with a string dental resin.
Your dentist will be able to match the dental crown to your surrounding teeth, giving a really natural look in terms of texture, colour and even translucence. Modern dental crowns are usually made from porcelain, a hard wearing and light substance that can be treated just like the rest of your teeth. Because it is such a hard wearing material, you might not need to have any of your existing tooth shaved off to accommodate it; a real boon for those who are not keen on invasive procedures.
