Restore Your Smile with Expertly Crafted Crowns and Bridges
At our dental clinic, we understand the importance of a fully functional, aesthetically pleasing smile. That’s why we offer high-quality dental crowns and bridges, tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-fitted coverings or “caps” placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are used to protect, cover, and restore the shape of your teeth when fillings don’t solve the problem. Dental crowns can be made from ceramics, porcelain, resin, or metal alloys to ensure that they are both strong and beautiful.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Protection: Crowns protect weak teeth from breaking or restore those that are already broken.
- Restoration: They restore teeth that are severely worn down, decayed, or compromised due to dental treatments like root canals.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: Crowns improve the appearance of misshapen, discolored, or misaligned teeth.
- Durability: With proper care, dental crowns can last for many years, making them a fantastic long-term investment in your dental health.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are used to fill the space left by missing teeth. A bridge is composed of crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap, with false teeth in between. Like crowns, bridges can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, gold, alloys, or a combination.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Aesthetic and Functional Restoration: Bridges restore your smile and the ability to properly chew and speak.
- Force Distribution: They help distribute the forces in your bite correctly by replacing missing teeth.
- Stability: Bridges prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position, which could lead to other dental issues.
The Procedure for Dental Crowns and Bridges
- Initial Consultation: We assess your oral health and discuss your specific needs and preferences. Digital scans or molds of your teeth may be taken to design your custom crown or bridge.
- Preparation: The tooth or teeth are reshaped to ensure a proper fit. An impression of the reshaped tooth/teeth is then taken and sent to a dental lab.
- Temporary Solution: A temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect the prepared teeth while the permanent version is being made.
- Final Fitting: Once your custom-made crown or bridge is ready, it’s checked for fit and color. Adjustments are made if necessary, and then it’s cemented into place.
Care for Your Crowns and Bridges Maintaining dental crowns and bridges is as easy as caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups will help keep them in excellent condition and extend their lifespan.
