There are different types of dental crowns that dentist are using. And they are distinctive that’s why it is the patient who decides what kind of material the crown will be.

The material could be ideal to children, for example is the stainless steel crown. This sort of crown can cover a child tooth and develop with it so when it clears a path for the lasting tooth, the crown will come directly off with the bygone one. These crowns are impermanent, financially savvy, and are easy to set up.

Meanwhile, gold crown is known for the strength. It may not be appealing but the strength and longevity of the crown is assured.

If you’re prioritizing cosmetics, porcelain crown is the one for you. It blends to the natural color of the teeth, however, it is more fragile because it is made out of porcelain.

These are the types of crown that dentist are using for the past years but there is a new one, the bruxzir crown. It may be costly than the rest but it is all the all-in-one crown. It is porcelain but its strength can match the gold crown. The combination of cosmetics and strength made the bruxzir on top.

It is very important that the prosthetics you have feel comfortable and steady. We saw several videos wherein prosthetics like dentures are falling out while talking. It is embarrassing, right? So if you want to prevent that from happening to you, keep scrolling because we got you covered.

Denture adhesive is a product applied to the denture that made a contact to the gums to keep it intact and firm. It is the layer that binds the gum-like part of the dentures to the actual gum of the mouth.

Adhesive comes in different forms like powder, paste, pads and gel. But when do I need denture adhesive? Did the dentist failed to do the work?

The answer is you have to consult first to your dentist. However, if the dentures are properly placed and fitted adhesive is not necessary. But if you ever feel uncomfortable, you must first ask your dentist about it rather than fixing it yourself.

We also made the step-by-step procedure on how to apply adhesive whenever you needed it.
