Getting a crown fitted has been refined over the years and become a lot less painful, beneficial to the mouth, as well as restoring and maintaining the health of the mouths of the people in the city of Leeds- this is all down to the way dental technology has advanced immensely over the years and so it’s all about the ease of the way dentists treat their patients these days. Out of this has come the choice you have as a patient too. Having a crown fitted is the direct cause of tooth decay; once the tooth has become badly infected and in order to save it, the only treatment is a root canal. It’s not pretty reading, but to spare you the details, what the restorative treatment requires is for a crown to be after the tooth is cleared of any decay and infection. This is when you, the patient, are offered a choice of what type of crown you would like- although your dentist will give you guidance as to what you choose, depending where the decay has occurred. If it’s to the rear of the mouth, the best option is to have a gold crown or a porcelain-over-metal one that can take the chewing forces that go through the back of the mouth. But if the crown is at the front of the mouth, a pure porcelain fitting will be enough to maintain the health of your teeth and at the same time, restore the beautiful look to your smile. It’s quick and painless and you should consult with your dentist first about the treatment you are going to have to before making your choice.
