I asked about if which one are better ceramic or porcelain. I found some expert cosmetic dentist and he use porcelain but the price is pretty high. I found another dentist and he use all-ceramic and the price is affortable to me.Because I don‘t have much teeth left on my front. I lost alot of teeth in the front and just some left near the back gum line. Some people here said using build-up material will help to support the crown.But do I need an expert and expensive one to do this? Is it a very hard job to do crown? If I don‘t use ask an expert to do this, then it may not last long?Thanks.
I must repeat that porcelain and ceramic are interchangeable terms, like fake and false, flat and level, poultry and fowl. Various brands of all ceramic crowns include Wol-Ceram, Lava, IPS Empress, Cercon, Procera, and Cerec. These are also referred to as all porcelain crowns, because there is no metal substructure. Pretty much all dentists do crowns and love doing them. A general dentist will typically do maybe 200-300 a year. A specialist may do more like 1,000 a year. Unless you have an unusual case, I would speculate that any decent dentist could serve your needs. In 30 years, I have sent fewer than 10 patients to a specialist for complex restorative treatment. In support of that position, I can state that pretty much 99% of all crowns I have done in the course of my practice are still serving the patients, so I think they must have been done correctly. I do not have specialty training. It is a meticulous and demanding procedure, but so is everything else we do all day every day.
sounds to me like the filter is just clogged up but if you want something good for your transmission then get some ( trans-medic or bg product )
Crown prep is a very simple procedure that almost every dentist will do. I am a dental assistant for 6 yrs. now and have never seen a patient refered to a specialist for even the most complicated crown prep. Yes, if you are lacking alot of tooth structure you will have what we call a core build up. This is a strong material that is bonded to your natural tooth to create an area that can be easily prepped for a crown. If I am understanding correctly, you are missing ALOT of tooth structure. Please be advised that if you are close to the nerve of your tooth you will need a root canal before the crown. This is to resolve any future problems before they happen. Such as, infection. You don't need to go to a specialist and this is not a difficult procedure. The first visit should be only 1-1 1/2 hrs. for prep, impressions and a temp. crown. Again. porcelain and ceramic are the same. Most dentist these days are cosmetic dentists. It's basically another name for general dentist it just sounds better. You should be involved in picking the shade of your crown as well. If not, ask to be involved. Good Luck!
No you don't need an a specialist, a general DDS will do. If you don't have much front tooth left and you have had a rootcanal on the tooth, the dentist should do a post build up. The post will give the tooth strength. All porcelain on a front tooth is fine, BUT you don't want to do an all porcelain or ceramic on any back teeth that you use for chewing your food because the crns will squeak. I know it sound awkward, but you will hear the tooth squeak. Have the dentist use a PFM crn which is a porcelain to fused metal, they will hold up and are very comfortable. Just to let you know I work in a dental office, 22 yrs under my belt, and I have also had an all porcelain crown on a back tooth, you really don't want to go there. You will be much happier with a pfm crn.
