Your dentist will look closely at the tooth. They might take an X-ray if they need to see whats going on underneath. If there\u2019s decay or any other issue that must be fixed first. Otherwise you\u2019re just covering up a problem of solving it.<\/p>\r\n
Next the tooth is shaped so the zirconia crown can fit properly. You\u2019ll get anaesthetic so you won\u2019t feel pain. You might feel pressure or a little vibration. That\u2019s normal.<\/p>\r\n
When the crown is ready your dentist will check how it fits before cementing it in place. This step is more important than most people think. A crown may look perfect. If your bite doesn\u2019t feel right it can cause problems later.<\/p>\r\n
You may be asked to bite down while the dentist checks the fit. If the crown feels too high they can make adjustments.. Don\u2019t hesitate to speak up if something feels off. Don\u2019t just sit there. Hope it gets better.<\/p>\r\n
Your mouth will feel different for a while. That\u2019s totally normal. Your tongue will keep finding the crown even if you don\u2019t pay attention to it. It knows something is new.<\/p>\r\n
Some sensitivity is common especially if the tooth was already irritated. If you have pain or your bite still feels uneven after a few days reach out to your dentist. Don\u2019t wait for it to go away on its own.<\/p>\r\n
At first softer foods may feel more comfortable. Then you can slowly go back to your meals. The crown doesn\u2019t need care every time you eat.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Be careful with sticky foods especially in the beginning. You’re still getting used to the crown.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Keep doing your brushing. The crown doesn\u2019t protect the gum tissue from plaque.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Flossing around the crown is still important. Your dentist might show you a technique that\u2019s easier to use.<\/p>\r\n
It shouldn\u2019t keep catching your tongue. Your bite shouldn\u2019t feel like one tooth hits. Chewing should not be a reminder that you had dental work done.<\/p>\r\n
Zirconia crowns are a choice if you want a strong and natural-looking restoration.. The material isn\u2019t the only thing that matters. How the tooth is prepared how well the crown fits and your final bite are all key.<\/p>\r\n
