Crowns in Ipswich Improving Your Appearance

A crown is artificial restoration that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth. A crown is sometimes known as a ‘cap’

Porcelain crowns are now more popular because they are more aesthetically pleasing and depending on what exactly they’re made from, can be equally strong and durable. Porcelain crowns are often used to replace unsightly metal crowns.

Benefits of having Crowns

• Improvement of the colour and shape of the tooth.
• They provide the best protection to a heavily broken tooth.
• Crowns have proven to last longer than any other type of restoration.

FAQ

How is the Crown Fitted?

When you and your dentist are happy with the fit and appearance of the new crown, it will be fixed in place with special dental cement or adhesive. The cement forms a seal to hold the crown in place.

Does it hurt to have a tooth prepared for a crown?

No. You will have a local anesthetic and the preparation work should feel no different from a filling. If the tooth does not have a nerve, and the post crown is being prepared, then you may not need a local anesthetic.

Will the crown be noticeable?

The crown will be made to match your other teeth as closely as possible. The shade of the surrounding teeth will be recorded, to make sure that the colour looks natural and matches those teeth.

How do I care for my crown?

It is important to keep the crown just as clean as you would your normal teeth. The crown itself cannot decay, but decay can start where the edge of the crown joins the tooth. Brush last thing at night and at least one other time during the day with a fluoride toothpaste, and clean in between your teeth with ‘interdental’ brushes or floss.

How long will a crown last?

How long will a crown last depends on how well you look after it. Properly cared for crowns should last for many years. Your dental team will be able to tell you how long your crown may be expected to last.

Bridges in Ipswich Filling the gap for Missing teeth

Bridges can also be constructed from the same materials. There are two types of bridge. A conventional bridge is where the teeth are trimmed down similar to crowns and cemented onto the teeth.

A resin bonded bridge is where minimal tooth is removed and relies on adhesive to hold the bridge in place. Careful planning is required with models and wax ups to make sure this is going to be successful. Bridges can be used to replace anterior and posterior teeth.

The Benefits of Bridges

• Better functionality – eating, chewing and swallowing is a great deal easier.
• Approved self esteem – improves your look from having missing teeth.
• Improved self esteem – improves your look from having missing teeth.
• Not removable – you don’t have to worry about taking it out to clean.
• Long lasting and durable and lasts a considerable length of time.

FAQ

Why would I need a bridge?

Usually because you have a tooth extracted or knocked out in an accident, leaving you with a gap in your teeth. Closing the space is important for cosmetic reasons, but your dentist has a good clinical reasons to fill in the space too, leaving the gap open can put extra strain on the teeth either side. It can also affect your ‘bite,’ the teeth on either side of the gap may lean together into the space and alter the way that the upper and lower jaw teeth meet, which can cause further problems.

How long does a bridge last?

A dental bridge should last for many years, if properly looked after.

How do I look after my bridge?

You need to clean your bridge every day, to prevent problems such as bad breath and gum disease. You also have to clean under the false tooth every day.

Veneers in Ipswich Improve the look and shape of your teeth

Veneers are bonded to the outside surface of the teeth and are used to improve the appearance of discoloured teeth or change the colour, shape, size, or length. You will need to discuss the best choice of veneer material for you with your dentist.

Benefits of Dental Veneers

• They provide a natural tooth appearance.
• Porcelain veneers are stain resistant.
• Veneers can cover virtually any imperfection, including gaps, chips, and stains.
• Cover slight crookedness.
• A quick fix to straighten teeth.
• Veneers are durable and scratch-resistant.

FAQ

How long does a veneer last?

A veneer should last for many years, if they are looked after well.

How does a dentist prepare the tooth for a veneer?

Your dentist will remove a little of the outer enamel of the tooth so that the veneer will bond securely in place. Next, your dentist will take an ‘impression’ (i.e. make a mould) of your teeth and record the shade of the adjacent teeth so that the veneer is a perfect match. Only a very small amount of tooth is removed in the preparation process, so a temporary veneer probably won’t be needed while the permanent veneer is being made – you also probably won’t need anaesthetic.

FAQ

Why should I consider white fillings?

What are tooth-coloured fillings made of?

This can vary, but they are mainly made of glass particles, synthetic resin and a setting ingredient. Your dentist should be able to give you more information about the particular material that they use.
