Tooth decay is not a pretty thing to suffer from, as it can destroy your teeth and in the end, if they go untreated, they will fall out: tooth loss is the most soul destroying thing to suffer from. However, with anything that goes wrong in your mouth in the city of Leeds today, your dentist will have an answer to it and in cases like these, the hero of the moment is the dental crown. This is brilliant for restoring a tooth that has decayed or damaged by injury; it will give your tooth back its shape, stop further infection in surrounding teeth and help to retain the perfect bite of your mouth. With complete tooth loss, you will find a crown popping up in various procedures such as implant surgery or the fitting of a bridge. If you have to have one fitted though, you do get a choice of materials to choose from to make your crown (though if you are very adventurous (and rich), you can have one made from a diamond), you get the call here. There are three general materials though that your dentist will normally offer you, though the decision is also based on the work that the crown has to do. Gold and porcelain-over-metal crowns are built for strength and are the preferred choice for the back of the mouth. A full porcelain crown is better at the front of the mouth and looks more natural, though some people like a touch of gold in their smile as well.
