What is the process of installing porcelain teeth?

In life, many people have bad eating habits, which eventually lead to tooth decay. If they want to eat normally, they need treatment. At present, there are many types of dentures, among which porcelain teeth are one. If you want to install one, you must first check and confirm it. Experts will design a specific plan based on the patient's actual situation. The next step is installation, and then enter the formal teeth grinding stage.

1. Inspection and confirmation stage of porcelain teeth installation: This step is essential in the process of porcelain teeth installation because it is directly related to the condition of the individual's oral cavity. These are the data that must be used as a reference in the subsequent process of installing porcelain teeth. At the same time, the health status of the oral cavity should be checked to ensure the health of the roots of the porcelain teeth or the health of the adjacent teeth.

2. Experts design detailed plans for those who want to have porcelain teeth installed: This is what the experts will do. After checking the process of installing porcelain teeth, they will start to compare data, do detailed analysis, and set up a porcelain tooth installation plan that meets the individual's oral requirements. At this time, you need to refer to your personal smile line and gum line.

3. Before installing porcelain teeth, perform preoperative anesthesia for individual sensitive patients: Usually this step can be ignored, because teeth grinding is required during the installation of porcelain teeth. It is only a very small treatment and does not cause much pain. Therefore, patients can generally tolerate it. Only in individual cases, local anesthesia can be performed for particularly sensitive patients before the operation.

4. The formal grinding stage: In order to wear braces, all the teeth except the part in contact with the gums must be evenly ground down. Teeth grinding is relatively long, but it does not cause any pain.

5. Take a model when biting your teeth: This is a key step in the process of installing porcelain teeth, because the model will be sent to the processing factory to make a model of the porcelain teeth we want to install. After grinding your teeth, the expert will use a specific mold to take the shape of your full set of teeth (bite a condensate and wait for one and a half minutes before taking it out). Then the dental specialist will make a temporary brace for you, usually made of plastic. You will need to wear this plastic brace during the few days you are waiting for the porcelain teeth to be processed.

6. Tooth vita color comparison stage: This is also very important in the process of installing porcelain teeth, because the selected tooth color is directly related to the color of the teeth in your mouth in the future, whether it is natural and beautiful, and whether it looks the same as real teeth. Here, patients need to pay attention to removing overly bright lipstick, facial makeup, and headwear, and not wearing overly bright tops. *It is best to complete it quickly under natural light and against a light blue background. You can also record the color through a digital light meter and transmit it through a digital camera. Record the color of every part of the tooth surface separately, even the grooves and spots. Communicate with the technician face to face when necessary.

7. Abutment tooth preparation: The amount of teeth that need to be ground down for porcelain teeth is about a few millimeters. The thickness required for grinding and cutting varies depending on the tooth position, porcelain crown, and tooth surface. The shape of the prepared abutment tooth should be a reduced tooth with a smooth and complete surface, a clear cusp and concave, and no adverse reactions such as being too large or too wide.

8. Come to the hospital a few days later to carry out the process of installing porcelain teeth: This is the day when the work is done. The patient only needs to wait patiently. The expert will remove the plastic braces that the patient has been wearing for the past few days and replace them with the porcelain braces that have been carefully made for the patient.
