What are dental ceramics?
When teeth are missing, faded, weak or broken, dentists often use different types of dental ceramics to restore or replace them. There is a large range of dental ceramics, including crowns, bridges, veneers and prostheses. Each type is made specifically for a single patient dental technician. The technician uses mold provided by a patient dentist to ensure that any replacement is properly mounted. All dental ceramics are prescribed and introduced by proofeders - dentists specializing in replacement and restoration of teeth.
If a person has damaged the tooth, his dentist can prescribe the crown. Crowns are a type of dental ceramics, which fits through the existing tooth and helps to protect it. The crown may also be prescribed to protect the weak tooth from damage. Colored or wrong teeth can also benefit from crowns. If the cavity is so severe that after the filling is not enough to protect the tooth.
Missing teeth can cause face muscles to bend and can cause changes in speech and difficulty in eating. They can also emphasize the remaining teeth. To remedy this dentist use dental ceramics called bridges. Bridges, also called partial prostheses, are a number of false teeth that cover the area of missing teeth. For most bridges, the crowns are placed over the teeth surrounding the area of missing teeth. The bridge is then connected to the crowns to provide support.
Age, illness or injury can cause a person to completely lose their teeth. The prostheses are a removable set of teeth produced for a particular patient. Conventional and immediate prostheses for doctors are available. With conventional prostheses, the doctor removes the remaining teeth, wait until the gums heal, and then place the prosthesis. Dentists can also fit and measure the rubber before removing the teeth so that the patient can have prostheses immediately. The disadvantage with the immediate prosthesis is that the gums can reduce after healing and forIt may not be useful over time.
Veneers are dental ceramics used in cosmetic dentistry to fill the gaps in the mouth of the patient or cover colored or poorly shaped teeth. Veneers are thin caps located above the patient's existing teeth to look whiter or more shape. The process of installing veneer is usually irreversible. The reason is that it is necessary to store the existing patient's teeth to adapt to new envelopes. For these patients, drinking from the coloring of liquid such as tea and coffee may be forbidden, as they can permanently color veneers.
