Try as we might, sometimes we need some dental work done to our teeth, no matter how we try and look after them. Even with an excellent oral hygiene routine, accidents can happen which may lead to teeth being damaged, or even knocked out. So if you are in need of a crown, although there are other options available, you may wish to consider choosing a porcelain crown, and here are a few reasons why.
Porcelain Crowns are Durable
If you are looking for porcelain dental crowns in Sydney, or any other part of Australia, a quick search of the internet will show many dental clinics offering porcelain crowns. The thick porcelain can last for quite some time, even up to 15 years or so, if you look after your teeth and have a good hygiene routine.
They Look and Feel Great!
One thing that you will notice with this type of crown is that they resemble a real tooth. When you have a metal or alloy dental implant, they are very noticeable as the shiny metal instantly attracts the eye. Take a look online for Sydney dental implants, and compare the porcelain crowns that you see, to the ones that use gold, or other metals. With a high-quality crown, you can have an implant and a lot of people would not even be able to tell!
Of course, keeping your set of gnashers shiny and white also makes a much more beautiful smile, so there are also aesthetic reasons for choosing porcelain crowns over metals ones. It is true that porcelain crowns cost more than the other types that are available, but they have a much more natural look to them, which some people prefer to go down the Bling route and having a mouth full of shiny metal.
Taking Care of it is Easy
When it comes to oral hygiene, it is important to make sure that you look after your teeth properly; after all when you are an adult it is the only set you have! Ideally, you will want to brush your teeth after every meal, but this is not always possible; so at the very least you should brush a minimum of one or two times a day, before bed, and getting up in the morning. Floss your teeth daily; and if eating food and unable to brush your teeth, rinse your mouth out with water, which will help to reduce the build-up of acid in your mouth, which can attack the enamel of your teeth. You will want to have a check-up with your dentist at least twice a year, as well as visit the hygienist for a scrape and polish as and when it is required.
As well as having a good routine for looking after our teeth, it is also important that we make sure that we eat a varied and healthy diet. Being careful with what we eat, and reducing the amount of sugar we eat and drink, will go a long way to protecting your teeth for many years to come. Look after your porcelain crowns in the same way that you take care of your teeth, and you can have a shining white smile for a long time to come!
