Dental Crowns Cork

Yes, tooth decay and cavities can still form under dental crowns, which is why it remains important to maintain good oral hygiene, brush your teeth frequently, and visit your dentist frequently.

On average, dental crowns should last for around 15 years. However, to get the most out of your newly-fitted crowns, you’ll need to practise good oral hygiene. Make sure you’re brushing and flossing daily. You’ll need to ensure you’re visiting your dentist frequently. Regular visits to a dental hygienist are also a good idea. In some cases, well-maintained crowns can last for more than 30 years.

There’s no need to worry about pain if you’re thinking about getting crowns applied to your teeth. Your dentist will use local anesthesia and sedation during the procedure, preventing you from feeling any pain or discomfort. If you notice any mild discomfort after the procedure itself, you can use over-the-counter medication to provide relief until the pain subsides.

Keeping your crowns in good condition doesn’t require any additional effort on your part. Simply brush the crown as you would a normal tooth. This means brushing thoroughly twice a day. If possible, use an electric toothbrush rather than a manual one. Brushing for at least two minutes will ensure your crown is kept clean and free of harmful bacteria.

Crowns are made from a variety of materials. Some crowns are made from porcelain and ceramic, while others are made from composite resin. Hard-wearing alternatives tend to be made from metal or metal alloys. Sometimes, a paediatric dentist may suggest a stainless steel crown to preserve badly decayed teeth in much younger patients.

Dental crown prices vary depending on how many crowns you have fitted and the kind of material used to create your crown. Porcelain crowns are the more affordable of the two, with dental crown prices starting at €800 per tooth.

Even though crowns can restore the appearance of your teeth, it’s still possible for the teeth underneath to suffer from tooth decay. If left unchecked, this can lead to cavities. After having crowns applied by a dentist in Cork, you’ll still need to maintain good dental hygiene. Make sure you’re brushing your teeth and crowns regularly. You’ll also need to floss once a day. Furthermore, you should still see a dentist regularly after having crowns applied. Make sure you’re scheduling a checkup at least once every six months.
