Cement Retained Crown

Cement-Retained Crowns

Cement-retained crowns are a popular and highly effective solution for restoring teeth that have been weakened or damaged by decay, trauma, or other factors. Unlike screw-retained crowns, cement-retained crowns are held in place using dental cement, which provides a strong bond and offers excellent stability. This type of crown is often used in cases where aesthetic considerations are a priority, as it allows for more flexibility in the design and placement.

Why Choose Cement-Retained Crowns?

• Strong and Secure: The cement bonding technique provides a stable and durable solution that holds the crown securely in place, preventing loosening over time.
• Natural Appearance: Cement-retained crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain or ceramic, to match the natural color of the surrounding teeth, resulting in a seamless and aesthetically pleasing finish.
• Versatile and Customizable: This type of crown is highly versatile and can be used for both front and back teeth, offering a wide range of material options that can be tailored to suit the patient’s needs, whether for durability or cosmetic purposes.
• Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, cement-retained crowns provide a long-lasting solution for tooth restoration. They are resistant to wear and tear, making them ideal for areas that experience significant biting pressure.

Procedure and Aftercare

The process for placing a cement-retained crown involves preparing the tooth, taking impressions, and fabricating the crown in a dental lab. Once the crown is ready, it is carefully bonded to the tooth with dental cement, ensuring a secure fit. After placement, patients can expect a comfortable fit with minimal sensitivity, and the crown will function just like a natural tooth.

Proper aftercare, including regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits, is essential to ensure the longevity of the crown and the overall health of the tooth beneath.
