A beautiful smile is something all of us dream about. In this age where people are constantly posting pictures on social media, it is all about the looks, sometimes. A very important part of looking good is a dazzling smile. But due to dental problems, all of us may not have a set of perfect pearly whites.

Dental problems such as tooth decay or tooth extractions are common issues that many of us face. However, with the latest advances in dental technology, a missing tooth is a thing of the past. There are so many options for dental implants and crowns nowadays. The latest among them are DMLS crowns. Let us understand more about this latest dental technology.

What are DMLS crowns? 

If you have recently undergone a root canal, your dental doctor may suggest a dental crown to strengthen the damaged tooth. Dental crowns cover your damaged teeth and make them stronger. There are many options available for crowns. However, Direct Metal Laser Sintering or DMLS crowns are the latest technology in crowns. These are basically metal-ceramic crowns, with the metal part fabricated with laser sintering technology. The metal that is commonly used here is titanium. DMLS crowns are getting popular as they are cheaper than ceramic crowns and are extremely durable.

Who can opt for a DMLS crown?

Anyone who has recently had a root canal and is suggested for a crown fitting by their dental doctor can opt for DMLS crowns. These are also budget-friendly. Also, as they are directly carved using computer-aided design (CAD), they have extremely precise margins and fit perfectly, reducing the chances of gum problems or tooth decay.

Why do you require a DMLS crown? 

Your dental doctor may suggest DMLSs crown for your molars as they are required to withstand high pressure. Also, if you are getting crowns for a set of teeth, DMLS crowns are a perfect choice. They are also a good option if you want to repair a chipped tooth or correct an oddly shaped tooth. 

What are the benefits of DMLS crowns?

DMLS crowns are made with the latest laser sintering technology and computer-aided design. Here is how having DMLS crowns will benefit you- 

  • DMLS crowns are extremely accurate with regard to measurement and prove to be a better fit in the jaw.
  • The titanium used in DMLS crowns has high tensile strength. They are the perfect option to replace teeth that withstand high pressure such as the molars.
  • DMLS crowns made of titanium are porous and may support the healing of the damaged teeth from inside.
  • As these crowns are manufactured by laser-guided technology, the crowns can be highly customized to include complex-shaped implants. 
  • Because of their high tensile strength, they are perfect for long-span bridges, covering multiple teeth.

What are the complications?

Though DMLS crowns are considered safe, there may be a few complications involving these implants- 

  • DMLSs are basically metal crowns, which can be too abrasive and can destroy the adjacent teeth.
  • Metal sensitivity can also be an issue with DMLS crowns. It is important to rule out this issue before going ahead with the procedure.
  • Any kind of crown may need to be adjusted now and then. 
  • The metal casing may cause gum irritation if no oral hygiene is practiced. 

Are DMLS crowns expensive?

No. In fact, DMLS crowns are more cost-effective than other alternatives such as Ceramic or Zirconia crowns.

Do DMLS crowns have a metal finish?

DMLS crowns have a ceramic coating that will blend in with your natural teeth. Only the inner casing of these crowns is made of metal, which will not be visible.

Can I opt for a DMLS crown if I have metal sensitivity?

No. Please do not opt for a DMLS crown if you have metal sensitivity as the inner case of the crown is made of a metal. You can opt for metal-free options such as Zirconia in such cases.
