Porcelain Crowns for your Cosmetic and Functional Needs

 By Arthur Kezian

Always remember that your dentist wants what’s best for you. There are different types of crowns which are suggested whenever your dentist sees that it needs restoration. The need for dental crowns varies case to case.

A dental crown strengthens and protects the remaining tooth structure and often times improve the appearance of one’s smile. A crown or sometimes referred to as “caps” is a type of dental restoration or covering that fit over a tooth. It is fabricated in a dental laboratory or in some cases can be made out of pure porcelain and other type of ceramics. Thanks to advanced technology it can now be made inside your dental office. Crowns are made with natural looking porcelain.

During your dental visit, in some cases your dentist will suggest having your teeth restored with a porcelain crown. Probably the reason why you are given this option is because your tooth has the following indications:

1. It has a previous filling which is big and the tooth structure tends to become weak thus no longer can support the filling.
2. Extensively damaged by secondary decay
3. Fracture or broken filling
4. Previously had it treated for root canal making the tooth brittle and prone to fracture thus a porcelain crown is suggested to have the remaining tooth structure protected.
5. To hold a bridge in place where the adjacent teeth requires a crown as replacement.
In today’s modern dentistry, there are wide varieties of materials where crown are made from. Some are made from gold, metal alloys where it is fused to porcelain on the outer portion or shell. All porcelain or ceramic crowns are now considered to be the best choice for porcelain crowns because of its natural looking appearance.

Here are the types of  porcelain crowns available:

• Metal Crown – made of gold or other metal alloys such as palladium or base metal alloys such as nickel and chromium. In preparation for a metal crown, one advantage is that there is less tooth structure needed to be removed and tooth wear is kept into a minimum level. Metal crowns relatively break or chip off, but one disadvantage is the aesthetic look because of its metallic color
• Porcelain fused to metal crown – This is a much better option when it comes to aesthetic quality. The color of the tooth will be based with the adjacent or existing natural teeth giving you a much more natural appearance. Depending on the chosen metal alloy or base, sometimes the metal underneath tends to darken on the gum line portion, especially when the gums recede over time.

 All Porcelain Crowns

– These types of crowns are made of different biocompatible materials. They resemble lifelike crowns and bridges of teeth and are crafted to resemble real teeth. Porcelain crowns are recommended for patients with allergies to metal. However, they are not as strong as porcelain-fused-to metal crowns.
Fitting a porcelain crown requires at least two dental appointments. For any questions regarding your treatment and instructions after your treatment please call 323 467 -2777. Dr. Arthur Kezian will gladly give you his recommendation because he is a your dentist. You can trust and understands your needs when it comes to quality dentistry.

An Effective Solution to Tooth Decay

By Arthur Kezian

A root canal treatment otherwise known as RCT is considered in dental world a highly effective and lucrative treatment method for preventing tooth extraction and tooth decay. In fact, tooth decay is a serious dental problem that not only affects your tooth but also causes damage to gums. Root canal therapy becomes necessary when a tooth's pulp chamber starts showing signs of decay or infection. This treatment method is meant to cure teeth which are partly or fully dead due to pulpal tissues or necrosis problem. Basically, symptoms like instant pain during biting, sensitivity to cold and hot foods or infection in tooth due to serious injury or decay inform us about the requirement of root canal therapy.

Valid Reasons for choosing Root Canal Therapy 

A root canal method is the most productive and less painful method for reinstating a diseased tooth. This treatment option works best for all those people who develop inflammatory reactions after surgery. Mostly people are seen feeling an unbearable pain in a tooth with damaged nerve tissue. This damage in nerve tissue of tooth may be due to physical injury or far reaching infection. When tooth pulp develops infection, there is a high chance of abscess being formed around the root canal region. This condition should be treated at the earliest otherwise infection might spread to the bone, causing further complications.

It always becomes necessary to get rid of the damaged tooth pulp so as to reduce tooth pain and control the infection from spreading more. However, root canal therapy enhances your chance of saving decaying or damaged tooth with minimal discomfort.

What is the treatment procedure for a root canal therapy?

Generally, an endodontic dentist deals with root canal treatment procedure. Root canal therapy involves the process of creating an access cavity through which damaged nerve tissue can be removed. After that root canals are disinfected by proper cleansing and sterilization. Cleaning of the affected area is mainly done at the beginning stage so that second phase of treatment can be carried out. The second phase of the treatment plan includes filling the root canals with suitable filling material and sealing it with ‘gutta percha’ or other similar kind of hygienic plastic material. The main objective is to prevent the loss of any fluid from the root canal tissue. Another reason is to ensure that the tooth does not break even if the fluid inside it becomes inactive. Thereafter, silver amalgam or laser treated synthesis resins are used permanently to fill up the root canals. Finally, all the treated teeth are coated with porcelain made cap which is either fused to gold or base metal. This cap helps in protecting the tooth and restoring it to its natural ability.

After finishing up with root canal treatment procedure, you may feel sensitivity in tooth which will gradually reduce with lessening in inflammatory reactions. Root canal therapy may take you 3 to 4 appointments which may last from 15 to 20 days.

Your dentist can guide in right direction in case you feel like getting root canal therapy. So, discuss your dental issues prior to taking any help from the root canal therapist.

Dental Porcelain Veneers – 5 Things to Know Before You Get Them

By Arthur Kezian

If you want a smile makeover you are certainly not alone.  With the glow of Hollywood just right down the road, it’s perfectly natural to want to look your very best!  That’s why porcelain veneers are so popular.
You've probably heard all about dental porcelain veneers, but do you really know what goes into getting them?  If you’re thinking about getting veneers, there are 5 things you need to know first:

Dental porcelain veneers are a permanent way to improve your smile. 

Once you have veneers installed, they are there to stay.  However, they look great!  They can cover up gaps between your teeth, hide broken or chipped teeth, and make crooked teeth look straight, and brighten up discolored teeth.
To keep them looking their best, you simply have to take care of them.  Regular brushing, flossing, and routine trips to your dentist will keep your veneers looking perfect.
 Dental porcelain veneers can be installed in about a week.

Veneers can give you a much better smile in only a few days!  Your dentist will start by removing about 0.5 mm from the thickness of your teeth – about the thickness of a contact lens.  Once your teeth have been reduced, your dentist will make a wax impression of your teeth.  That impression will be sent to a lab and will be used to create your veneers.
As soon as your veneers are back from the lab, they are ready to be applied!  Your dentist will use a special cement and a beam of light to adhere your veneers to your natural teeth. 

          Cosmetic veneers are designed to look and feel just like your normal teeth.

If they are applied correctly, no one will even know you have them!  Veneers are about 0.5 mm thick – the same thickness that your dentist will remove from your own teeth before they are applied.  That way, your smile will feel the exact same as they did before the veneers were installed.
 Dental porcelain veneers don’t have to go on every single tooth
A smile makeover doesn't have to break the bank.  If you just have one tooth that has a cosmetic flaw, you can get a single veneer.  Or, if you just want to put veneers on a couple of teeth, you can do that, too.  Since they look and feel like your natural teeth, a single veneer will not stick out.  If you want a smile makeover, your dentist can come up with a plan that suits your needs and fits into your budget.
Dental porcelain veneers cannot be repaired.
If one breaks, your dentist will have to get a new one made for you.  That’s why it is so important to be careful with them.  If you have veneers, you should not chew on ice, bite your fingernails, or grind your teeth.  Doing so can make your veneers crack or chip.
