The pros and cons of cosmetic dental crowns

Cosmetic crowns are a type of dental beauty technology that has become popular recently. They can help our teeth return to a neat state without surgery or braces. At the same time, the teeth can be corrected without deformation for a long time. But this method has both advantages and disadvantages. Although patients can avoid the pain of correction, it will also affect our gum health to a certain extent.

Cosmetic crown is an emerging dental beauty technology. It has more advantages than traditional dentures. It does not require grinding off the healthy teeth nearby for support and will not affect healthy teeth. Not only will it not harm healthy teeth, but it can also protect the health of the entire oral cavity. However, cosmetic crowns are not a panacea, and everyone should choose with caution.

So let’s find out whether cosmetic crowns are permanent. Cosmetic crowns have a shelf life. Generally, they can be used for about twenty years, but there is no clear answer. There are many factors that affect the service life of a cosmetic crown. It is related to the cosmetic crown material chosen by the patient, but most importantly it is related to the patient's usual daily care. If you pay attention to daily care and take good care of your oral health and hygiene, you can extend the service life of the cosmetic crown as much as possible.

There are also some disadvantages of cosmetic crowns. Because cosmetic crowns are a damaging treatment, and the damage is irreversible, it is inevitable that healthy teeth on both sides will be damaged during the cosmetic crown operation, which will have a certain impact on the lifespan of healthy teeth. Moreover, the cosmetic crown is not permanent and has a lifespan. After using it for a period of time, the cosmetic crown will fall off and become loose. Some people may experience metal allergies after having cosmetic crowns.

You are not allowed to smoke after cosmetic crown surgery. It takes some time to recover and heal after cosmetic crown surgery. Cigarettes contain a large amount of toxic chemicals and a variety of carcinogens. Smoking by normal people will affect the health of the oral cavity. Moreover, the gum tissue is still relatively fragile after cosmetic crown surgery. Smoking at this time can easily cause oral diseases and affect the beauty of the cosmetic crown, causing discoloration.

In short, in order to achieve successful cosmetic crown restoration results, it is best to choose an advanced dental hospital. Because cosmetic crown surgery has relatively high technical requirements for doctors and medical equipment, only in a regular dental hospital with experienced doctors and complete disinfection facilities can there be safety guarantees and the best cosmetic crown restoration results.
