What are the pros and cons of porcelain teeth?

There are many types of porcelain teeth, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, traditional all-ceramic teeth have more repair methods and are relatively more stable. Their disadvantages cannot be ignored either. First of all, not everyone is suitable for porcelain teeth. If the repair is not done well, it is easy to cause bleeding gums, tooth decay, etc. It is also easy to cause bite problems, affecting the patient's mood.

1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of porcelain teeth?

1. The advantages of porcelain teeth are much better than traditional restoration methods. Ordinary porcelain teeth are not stable enough in the complex electrolyte environment and acid-base environment formed by oral saliva and food due to their poor metal corrosion resistance.

2. However, it has its indications, and not everyone is suitable for porcelain veneer. It has a lot to do with the preparation, mold taking, and the technician's production. If it is not done well it is called a bad restoration. Gum recession and redness may occur. When teeth are decayed, the vital pulp of the teeth may also become sensitive to hot and cold.

3. If the appearance is not well made, there will be bite problems and irritability. It is not necessary to kill the nerves when making porcelain teeth. It depends on the condition of the teeth. To make porcelain teeth, the teeth to be made need to be ground down by about 1/3. If you have a cavity in your tooth, you can consider making porcelain teeth. On the one hand, it is aesthetically pleasing, and on the other hand, it can ensure that the hole does not expand any further.

2. Dietary care

1. Try not to eat hard food. Because after the porcelain teeth are restored, it takes a certain amount of time to adapt. Before adaptation, if you chew hard food, it is likely to irritate the porcelain teeth and compress the gums and other tissues, causing inflammation such as gingivitis. Even after the porcelain teeth have fully adapted to the oral environment, try not to chew on hard objects to avoid putting too much pressure on the porcelain teeth, which may cause deformation or porcelain collapse, and may even cause the porcelain teeth to fall off.

2. Try not to eat spicy food. Because some of the chemical properties of the metal inner crowns of porcelain teeth are unstable, they may easily react chemically with some irritating foods in life, such as overly acidic foods. Certain ions in metal substances may be in a free state, which can easily irritate the gums and other parts of the body, causing some allergic reactions to the human body.

3. Cleaning care

After having porcelain teeth, it is important to develop good oral hygiene habits, which can maximize the service life of porcelain teeth. If the patient does not develop a good habit of cleaning the mouth, food debris will accumulate in the tissues around the porcelain teeth, bacteria will breed, and oral diseases such as tooth decay will occur. Eventually, the porcelain teeth may need to be removed and remade. Therefore, patients should always pay attention to oral hygiene and develop the habit of brushing their teeth and rinsing their mouths after meals.
