How to distinguish a variety of dental

Crowns
A crown can be used to cover the damaged part of your tooth and protect it against other damage. It may be needed in the following cases:

after a root canal;
a big filling in a tooth;
a broken tooth;
a tooth discolored of improper form or misaligned.
The crowns are made of various metals, porcelain or a metal-ceramic alloy. They are strong and last about 10 years if you take good care. Brush them and pass them floss as you do for your natural teeth.

However, crowns and artificial teeth are not as strong as natural teeth, then:

does not bite hard objects;
do not use your teeth to open cut or something;
do not with your natural teeth.
The procedure:

Step 1
Your dentist takes the imprint of the tooth to shape a temporary crown. The last protects the tooth until the permanent crown is ready, it may not have the same color and form as the final crown.

Step 2
After administering a local anesthetic, your dentist carves a part of the natural tooth to make room for the crown.

Step 3
Then he took an impression of the tooth cut and adjacent teeth. It places the temporary crown on the tooth cut before you return home.

Step 4
The impression is sent to the laboratory where the crown will be made permanent measure. It serves as a model for size and form filling (or restoration).

Step 5
At the next visit, your dentist replaces the temporary crown by the crown permanently. It verifies the adjustment, shape and color, then holds up, and restoring the tooth function and its original appearance.

That is how a crown is usually placed on a tooth. It may be that your tooth requires special treatment, such as an orthodontic treatment or gum, which may lengthen the duration of visits or taking more than two.
