“Can you fix this? Madam Bali pointed to her gap on the lower front teeth. ” I hate it. It shows when I talk and laugh.” She added. I smiled at her and started explaining the treatment options once she sat comfortably on the dental…
A dental crown is a tooth shaped cap that covers a huge decayed, broken or worn down tooth that are not restorable with just a filling. It also use as a final restoration after root canal treatment was done on a tooth. There are few…
Dental crowns are caps placed on top of damaged teeth. Crowns are used to protect, cover and restore the shape of your teeth when fillings don’t solve the problem.
You may need a dental crown for several reasons, including:
Ms E came to our clinic requesting for a crown on her upper front tooth which has been root canal treated many years ago. She did not like how it looked due to discolouration and stained filling.
At the same time, she informed us that she feels nervous whenever she visited the dentist due to her past experiences. To calm Ms E, I reassured her that the procedure will be painless.
Upon examination, it was noted there were also discoloured fillings on her other teeth. I suggested that we get them replaced so that they would match the colour of her natural teeth. Ms E agreed.
We started off by replacing the old fillings and subsequently prepared the root canal treated tooth for a crown. A temporary crown was placed while we wait for the lab to make us a permanent crown.
When the permanent crown arrived, we informed Ms E so that she can come and get it placed onto her tooth. Ms E was very happy with the result and she could not differentiate which tooth has been crowned because the crown looked natural and blended very well with her other teeth.
Ms E can now smile confidently again! And most importantly, she is no longer nervous to visit the dental clinic anymore.
