Dental Crowns

DENTAL CROWNS

At Smile Studio Phuket Dental Clinic, we make sure that your smile is as healthy as it looks. Not only do we bring back that great smile to enhance your appearance but we also restore the functionality of your teeth.

Dental Crowns are restorations that protect damaged, cracked or broken down teeth. A crown strengthens your existing damaged tooth so as to preserve its functionality. Dental crowns are also commonly known as caps (because a crown sits over your existing tooth, covering the entire outer surface). Grinding your teeth, an improper bite, age, fillings and tooth decay can all be contributing factors in the wearing down, cracking or breakage of your teeth. Dental crowns cover the entire visible surface of your affected tooth and add strength, durability and tooth stability.

All Ceramic/Full Porcelain Crowns. All ceramic or full porcelain crowns are considered the most beautiful crown that a tooth

can get today. Porcelain is a kind of ceramic built by firing and stacking while ceramic refers to porcelain only. Pure porcelain is the only crown which can give that natural or translucent look to the tooth. The major drawback in using all porcelain crowns for restoring the front tooth is that the expertise required to place them is very challenging but still are placed there for their aesthetic appeal. They are translucent in color and generally, their color is influenced by the tooth under them.

Gold Crowns can be considered if appearance is not a priority to you. They are not a very popular choice among patients as it does not have much aesthetic appeal. They are suitable for patients who are in the habit of biting strong food substances along with clenching and grinding. Gold crowns offer increased durability and are suitable for the back teeth like the molars so that they are not visible. Gold crowns are a comfortable and safe option to choose as it is very compatible with the interiors of the mouth. The chances of allergic reactions are minimal in this case. Another important advantage of using gold for crowning is that the rate at which gold contracts and expands is similar to that of natural tooth. This prevents the gold from cracking, chipping and breaking away from the tooth. Also, the smoothness and purity of gold is commendable and does not stain or darken over time.

Porcelain Fused To Metal Crowns. For a more natural appearance compared to gold crowns, porcelain fused to metal crowns are the answer. PFM crowns can be referred to as full-cast crowns which has porcelain fused on most or all parts of the tooth. Metal alloys with a high melting temperature are used to fuse porcelain to the surface and preventing the metal from melting. This ensures the porcelain to bond without changing its color. Porcelain crowns are the most preferred crowns as they easily match the color of the adjacent teeth better than gold or other metallic crowns. PFM crowns are nothing but a hybrid between porcelain and metal crowns. Initially a metal shell is prepared which can fit perfectly over the concerned tooth. Then a porcelain veneer is fused on the metal shell which gives the crown a natural looking appearance. The best part of these crowns is the stability and strength which is unmatched to any other restorations available today. PFM is a preferred choice when bridges for the long run are required and bruxism (night grinding) is a problem.

International Sterilization Standards

Sterilization is a very essential process during a dental procedure. It reduces the potential risk of transmission of diseases which may occur due to living micro-organism deadliest bacteria & viruses. We are concerned about protecting our patients from infectious diseases. We meet or exceed all guidelines set forth by the ADA, OSHA, and the Center for Disease Control. We employ hospital cleanliness standards and sterilization techniques, so you know always that you are getting the best treatment money can buy at a fraction of the cost you would pay back home.

Surgery Upkeep :

At the beginning of the day the floors are thoroughly scrubbed with the disinfectants which leaves the place clean and smelling fresh. All carpeted/non carpeted areas are meticulously cleaned with a high power vacuum cleaner to get all the dust mites out and prevent air borne infections if any. The chairs and all moving/rotating parts are sprayed with antiseptic solution and wiped clean with a soft cloth. After every patient the same procedure is followed for the chairs to prevent cross infection.

All of our dental instruments are sterilized by autoclave with a high temperature up to 135 degree Celsius using a vaporizing effect created from high pressure pushing heat thoroughly all over and through every part of the instrument, even in very tiny spaces. At this temperature all known disease causing bacteria are known to be killed. This is the standard autoclaving procedure followed in Operation Theatres worldwide.

Additinally, we also use the Attest Biological Monitoring System by 3M ESPE to verify the effectiveness of our sterilization efforts. The 3M Attest sterilization is a proven and reliable system with a 20 year product history using biological indicator system for monitoring steam sterilization. This is used to ensure that our sterilization controls and standards are well assured and above those of required standards.
