How to maintain porcelain teeth and what should be paid attention to when making porcelain teeth

Everyone must have heard of porcelain teeth. Porcelain teeth are a type of dental beauty that many people want to do. Many celebrities and internet celebrities have had porcelain teeth. Porcelain teeth will make our teeth look more neat and beautiful.

1. Try not to eat hard food. Because after the porcelain teeth are repaired, it takes a certain amount of time to adapt. Before adaptation, chewing hard food may irritate the porcelain teeth and press on the gums and other tissues, causing gingivitis and other inflammations. Even after the porcelain teeth have fully adapted to the oral environment, try not to chew hard objects to avoid putting too much pressure on the porcelain teeth, causing deformation or porcelain collapse of the porcelain teeth, and more likely to cause the porcelain teeth to fall off.

2. Try not to eat irritating foods. Because the metal inner crown of porcelain teeth has some unstable chemical properties, it may easily react with some irritating foods in life, such as overly acidic foods. Some ions in the metal substance may be in a free state, which is easy to irritate the gums and other parts, thus 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 residues will accumulate in the tissues around the porcelain teeth, bacteria will breed, and oral diseases such as tooth decay will occur. In the end, the porcelain teeth may have to be removed for reconstruction. Therefore, patients should always pay attention to oral hygiene and develop the habit of brushing their teeth and rinsing their mouths after meals. What are the things that patients need to pay attention to after having porcelain teeth surgery? You should have a clear understanding now, so don't eat hard food or irritating food after having porcelain teeth surgery. Of course, you must keep your teeth clean and go to the hospital regularly for professional cleaning.

1. Patients may feel mild discomfort when wearing porcelain teeth for the first time. They should practice using them patiently and gradually adapt.

2. Eat soft food when you first wear it, and then eat normal food after you get used to it;

3. Porcelain teeth will break if they are subjected to pressure that exceeds their stress range, so don't bite too hard food, such as walnuts;

4. In the early stage, the upper and lower tooth cusps may change compared with before restoration. Eat slowly and adapt gradually to avoid biting the buccal and lingual mucosa;

5. Plaque easily accumulates at the junction of porcelain teeth and abutment teeth, forming tartar. You should pay attention to keeping your mouth clean, develop the habit of brushing your teeth after meals, use dental floss to clean between teeth, and go to the hospital for regular checkups and dental cleanings.

6. Since part of the enamel is removed during tooth preparation, you may feel hot or cold sensitivity or pain when you first wear porcelain teeth, which will gradually ease over time.

7. When you first wear porcelain teeth, avoid eating too cold or too hot food to avoid triggering pain. You can eat normally after about two weeks;

8. Porcelain teeth usually need good solid teeth for support. However, in general, in the area where teeth are missing, except for those caused by accidental collision, whether it is due to periodontal disease or natural loss, more than 90% of the teeth are lost due to gum atrophy. This is a contradiction. What if the good teeth supporting the porcelain teeth are also loosened due to atrophy after the porcelain teeth are made? Because the part of the gum atrophy is rarely only one tooth, it is usually a piece. Since one tooth falls off due to atrophy, the risk of atrophy of the surrounding teeth is very high. If the good teeth that serve as support are loose, the whole row of porcelain teeth will fall off together. Therefore, after the porcelain teeth are made, more attention should be paid to the health of the surrounding gums. The same is true for removable dentures, especially full-mouth dentures. There are no teeth as support for the dentures, and all the pressure is on the gums. Because it is a removable denture, it is inevitable to wear the gums that serve as the support of the denture when chewing food. Because patients with full-mouth removable dentures often suffer from gingivitis and metal allergies of dentures. It is common for the gums to become swollen, painful, inflamed, and blackened after porcelain teeth are done, so you must find a regular hospital to get it done right.

9. The age range for porcelain teeth is between 20 and 60 years old. Before making it, the original teeth need to be ground very thinly, because the permanent teeth of adolescents are not fully developed, the pulp cavity is wide, and it is easy to damage the pulp. For those who are too old, it depends on the specific situation because of gum atrophy, loose teeth, general health, psychological factors, etc. Some patients with severe coating and clenching are not suitable for it. Of course, it depends on the specific situation.

1. Quality and design of porcelain teeth

If the design of porcelain teeth is not reasonable, the dentures may break or the real teeth may loosen due to excessive force, thus affecting the normal use of porcelain teeth. While the ceramics that make up the external form of porcelain teeth provide good aesthetic effects, they cannot avoid their own shortcomings, that is, the problem of greater brittleness. Therefore, improperly designed and made crowns will be subjected to greater occlusal pressure, which will cause the ceramics to crack or even break, or the ceramics to peel off from the metal surface.

2. Biological stability factors of materials used

In my country, most people use metal porcelain teeth. The metal inner structure of metal porcelain teeth not only provides reliable strength, but also is in close contact with the soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. The quality of its performance directly affects the physiological health of the oral cavity. The biologically stable and precisely made metal inner structure of porcelain teeth can "peacefully coexist" with the soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity, coordinate with the overall oral environment, and become a part of the patient's oral environment. On the contrary, alloy materials with poor biological stability will produce adverse stimulation to the surrounding tissues, and are prone to corrosion, unstable metal ion leakage, tissue allergies and other phenomena, thereby causing gingivitis, periodontitis, and black lines on the gingival margin (nickel-chromium porcelain teeth reported today). If the crown and the tooth are not tightly fitted, it may even cause adverse reactions such as caries in the restored tooth.

3. Edge sealing of porcelain teeth

Porcelain teeth are fixed to the polished teeth with adhesives, and the gap between the porcelain teeth and the real teeth is sealed with adhesive materials. Therefore, the closer the crown and the tooth fit, the smaller the gap between them, and the more conducive to preserving the natural teeth. Otherwise, the larger the gap between them, or the poor quality of the adhesive, the bacteria will enter the gap and cause corrosion to the natural teeth, thus affecting the service life of the porcelain crown. The better the manufacturing process of the porcelain teeth, the better the edge sealing. Porcelain teeth with poor manufacturing process have poor precision, poor sealing, and large gaps.

4. The patient using porcelain teeth

If you insist on biting hard objects with your porcelain teeth, or do not pay attention to oral hygiene, your own real teeth will be damaged, let alone porcelain teeth? Therefore, the service life of your porcelain teeth is largely related to your own use.

5. Post-care of porcelain teeth is the key

First of all, in terms of diet, try not to eat hard food, because after the porcelain teeth are repaired, it takes a certain amount of time to adapt. Before adaptation, chewing hard food may stimulate the porcelain teeth to press on the gums and other tissues, causing inflammation such as gingivitis; try not to eat irritating food, because some chemical properties of the metal inner crown of the porcelain teeth are unstable, and it may easily react chemically with some irritating foods in life, such as: overly acidic food. Some ions in the metal substance may be in a free state, which is easy to irritate the gums and other parts, resulting in some allergic phenomena to the human body. Secondly, in terms of cleaning, after the porcelain teeth are completed, the patient should pay more attention to the cleaning condition of the porcelain teeth at any time and develop good oral hygiene habits. In this way, the service life of the porcelain teeth can be maximized.

Dentists say that the price of porcelain teeth is not fixed. Generally speaking, its price ranges from several hundred to thousands. It is mainly affected by the following factors:

Factor 1: Porcelain tooth materials

According to the different materials used, porcelain teeth are generally divided into three categories: ordinary metal porcelain teeth, precious metal porcelain teeth, and semi-precious metal porcelain teeth. The materials used are different, and the effects of the repaired teeth are also different, so the prices of porcelain teeth made of different materials are naturally different. Before making porcelain teeth, you need to have an oral examination. If you do not have periodontal disease, you do not need periodontal treatment, and the cost is relatively low. People with periodontal disease need to treat the periodontal disease first, and then have porcelain teeth repaired.

Factor 2: The hospital and doctor you choose

For the same place and the same hospital, the doctor is also a decisive factor. Senior doctors are a collection of experience and knowledge. There are differences in technology and prices. Many people think that making porcelain crowns is a very simple thing. In fact, crown restoration requires a very high level of professionalism and equipment from doctors. Not only must they be proficient in oral treatment, but they must also have a strong aesthetic concept. It also depends on the professional restoration theory support of clinical physicians, standardized operations, correct designs, and close cooperation with technicians.

Tips: Professional dental hospitals have more cases and rich experience, and they can do better crown restoration. Therefore, you must go to a regular dental hospital for crown restoration and choose an authoritative doctor. Don't choose a general hospital just to save money, otherwise you may not only fail to achieve the ideal restoration effect, but also lose more than you gain.
