Porcelain crowns are invaluable when it comes to restoring a damaged tooth and keeping the natural tooth intact. One of the primary reasons patients of our cosmetic dentist in Beverly Hills choose this type of crown is because it is exceptionally natural looking, being color-matched to the surrounding teeth and having a indistinguishable sheen. Fortunately, there are other benefits of porcelain crowns, too.
One such benefit is the ease with which it can be kept clean. Luckily, a porcelain crown in exceptionally non-porous, which means that bacteria and food particles are easily whisked away during normal daily hygiene, as it is unable to hold onto the surface. Keeping them clean is as simple as keeping up on your regular routine of brushing twice daily and flossing one time a day.
Because crowns are attached to the tooth they are covering, however, and because they must be replaced at some point, it is important to also use an antiseptic mouthwash. This will help wash any particles out from the lower edge of the crown, keeping the gums and the tooth underneath healthy and strong, even as the restoration ages.
