Dental Crowns
In daily life, our teeth have to constantly work and face many risks of damage. A serious tooth decay that eats into the pulp, or an unexpected accident that chips off a large piece of the crown… all cause real teeth to become weak, sensitive and face the risk of having to be removed.
Facing major injuries that conventional filling methods cannot handle, Dental Crown is the best “savior”. At Vic’s Dental, we apply high-end porcelain crown technology to protect teeth to heal root canals or restore large chipped teeth, providing outstanding durability and color in a natural gloss like real teeth.
What is a crown and how does it work?
You can imagine a crown like a specially designed “helmet” that covers the entire crown of the real tooth from the gum line upwards.
Unlike porcelain veneers (only applied on the outside for beauty), crowns are designed to fully hug the crown 360 degrees, forming an armor that separates real teeth from bacteria, temperature, and mechanical influences. When permanently attached, the porcelain crown restores its original shape and size and returns the perfect chewing function to the once damaged tooth.
Rescue of root canals
Many customers wonder: “Teeth that have been pulled no longer feel pain, why do you have to spend money on porcelain crowns?”
The root canal is the main source of nutrients to feed the teeth. When a tooth has pulpitis and has to undergo endodontic treatment (root canal removal), that tooth is considered “dead”. It will no longer be nourished, gradually becoming dry, brittle, and extremely fragile under daily chewing pressure.
If you accidentally bite a grain of grain or a small piece of bone, the root canal tooth can be broken in half. At this point, you will be required to remove the root of the tooth. Therefore, the crown of porcelain crowns immediately after root canal treatment is a mandatory medical indication to hold the real walls together, extending the life of the teeth can be up to decades.
Large chipped teeth prostheses with outstanding strength
When the crown is chipped by more than 50%, ordinary composite fillings will not have enough adhesion area. Under strong chewing force, the filling is very easy to peel off.
At this time, the high-end all-porcelain crowns at Vic’s Dental (such as Zirconia, Cercon HT) will promote their strength. Fired at temperatures of thousands of degrees Celsius, pure porcelain has a bearing capacity (from 900 to 1200 MPa) 4-5 times greater than natural human tooth enamel. You can completely bite, tear and enjoy all your favorite chewy dishes without worrying about cracking or peeling.
Ultimate aesthetics
Besides its protective function, the modern generation of all-porcelain crowns is also an aesthetic masterpiece. There is no longer a situation of opaque, rough or black shadows exposed under the light like the old generation of metal porcelain teeth.
With the talented hands of the Labo technicians at Vic’s Dental, each crown is personalized. The porcelain surface is coated with enamel to create a glossy effect, with the same transparency as real dentin. The chewing grooves and tooth patterns are also meticulously sculpted, helping the denture blend perfectly with the adjacent teeth, so much so that the opposite person cannot recognize that you are wearing a porcelain tooth.
A damaged tooth, if not protected in time, will lead to a series of consequences of impairment of chewing function and cost of repair later. Let Vic’s Dental put on your defective teeth a high-quality porcelain crown – the perfect solution to both protect and enhance the aesthetics of your smile.
