Yes.

Technically a crown should be made to closely remember the existing tooth therefore fitting the existing retainer. However, depending upon why the tooth requires the crown the retainer may or may not fit WELL.

The ideal situation is to have the crown done and the retainer remade to fit the new crown PERFECTLY.

The compromising situation is to have the crown done and adjusting the retainer to fit the new crown IF POSSIBLE. Sometimes the retainer is held in the mouth by a clasp, connector, or portion of the retainer that is unable to be adjusted or changed BECAUSE of the location/shape/size of the new crown.

Remaking the retainer may be simply a longer-lasting, better-fitting, easier, or cost-effective way or any combination of such to have a FUNCTIONAL retainer.

Remember, the goal is to fix the tooth that requires the crown AND to keep the teeth in their proper positions.

What are the effects of putting dental braces on crowns and temporary crowns?

Dental braces are not a comfortable thing to have. If you have a temporary crown and braces then things can get even more uncomfortable. The crown and temporary crown should not interfere with the braces though.


To get braces but have a cavity and the tooth is decaying will they need to remove it put in a crown and put on your braces What is the process?

Your orthodontist and dentist should discuss this. usually they'll want you to get a crown after you get braces because crowns are man made and made to fit your bite before you have braces. so if you get the crown before the braces, after you straighten your teeth, your bite won't be right. They'll proabably have you do the build up on the tooth that needs the crown to make it stronger which is required before you actually get a crown. Then put braces on. And after you get your braces off then you'll get your crown.

Dental Crown Installation?

Getting a crown on your tooth can be a scary experience if you don't like going to the dentist. Your mouth will be numbed by a shot that goes into your gum. They then file down the tooth and take out any cavity that may have formed. After several attempts at getting the right size cap and making sure it looks like a tooth, the crown is glued into the correct location. It will be a temporary crown until the new one is molded. You then go back in a couple of weeks and have the official crown put in.

Dental crowns crackle sound with ice cream type foods?

When you visit a dentist for your crown or bridge, your dentist will "prepare" - remove your old crown, remove cavities of your tooth, etc. Then your dentist will take an impression of your "prepared" tooth and send it to a dental lab. The dental lab will then make your crown or bridge to replace your "prepared" tooth. Depending on the lab, your crown can be very good or not so good. When your dental crown crackles it is because of your crown is not prepared well. For more information about Dental crown visit www.identallab.com

What is the different between anatomical crown and dental crown?

An anatomical crown is the visible part of a natural tooth, made up by dentin covered with enamel. A dental crown is a prosthetic crown crafted by a dental technician. A dental crown can be made as a full porcelain crown, but in most cases it is made by covering a metal cap with porcelain. The metal cap is used to give the tooth extra structural strength (especially in case of molar crowns) and can be made from metal alloy, gold alloy, or zirconium oxide (a mineral).
