How to remove porcelain teeth?

Porcelain teeth are the most commonly used dentures at present. There are many kinds of materials for porcelain teeth. Among them, cobalt-chromium alloy porcelain teeth have the best quality and can be used for a longer time. The effects of other materials are not very good. It is easy to cause blackening of gums, caries of real teeth, porcelain popping, pain from cold and hot stimulation, etc. In this case, they must be removed. The removal method is very simple. You can go to a professional hospital for the operation, and there will be no sequelae.

1. Under what circumstances must porcelain teeth be removed?

1. Darkening of gums

This is a common complication of porcelain teeth made of non-precious metals (nickel-chromium alloy, cobalt-chromium alloy, pure titanium), and it is very difficult to treat. Such porcelain teeth must be removed and redone, otherwise they will cause gingivitis over time, gradually develop into periodontitis, and cause the teeth to loosen and fall out.

2. Caries of real teeth

The porcelain crown does not fit tightly against the tooth root and becomes a warehouse for bacteria after one or two years of use. Bacteria enter the braces and gradually corrode the real teeth, causing tooth decay. Over time, real teeth will be corroded or even completely rotten in porcelain teeth.

3. Porcelain

After the porcelain crown is broken, the metal is exposed. These metals rub against the food in the mouth for a long time, and a chemical reaction occurs under the action of saliva. There is no conclusion yet on whether it is harmful or not, so it is recommended to remove it as soon as possible.

4. Pain caused by hot or cold stimulation

This phenomenon indicates that the pulp is over-stimulated during the preparation of porcelain teeth. Therefore, before performing porcelain crown restoration, you must ensure that the gums are in normal condition.

2. What are the hazards of porcelain teeth?

Choosing the right material is the key! It is recommended to use cobalt-chromium alloy porcelain teeth. Be careful not to use non-metallic porcelain teeth (nickel-chromium alloy). Although they are cheap, they have poor edge adhesion and can easily cause gum atrophy. Over time, the gums will turn black.

3. How to remove porcelain teeth?

Porcelain teeth are fixed to the teeth with a very strong adhesive, so it is very difficult to remove them. The teeth that have been bonded need to be removed destructively, that is, the porcelain tooth tube is ground open with a drill and removed, which generally will not damage the adjacent teeth.

1. Apply painless anesthesia and grind out the porcelain teeth;

2. Use crown breakers and crown removers alternately to separate the porcelain teeth from the tooth tissue.
