What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination, each offering unique benefits.

Benefits of Dental Crowns:

  • Protection : Shields the tooth from further decay or damage.
  • Restoration : Restores the tooth’s original shape and size, improving its appearance.
  • Durability : Provides long-lasting durability with proper care.
  • Functionality : Enhances the functionality of the tooth, making it easier to chew and speak.

Procedure for Dental Crowns:

  1. Consultation and Examination : A thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the extent of damage and determine if a crown is necessary.
  2. Tooth Preparation : The tooth is shaped to accommodate the crown. If needed, a filling is used to build up the tooth structure.
  3. Impression : An impression of the prepared tooth is taken to create a custom-fit crown.
  4. Temporary Crown : A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while the permanent crown is being made.
  5. Fitting the Permanent Crown : Once ready, the permanent crown is fitted, adjusted for comfort, and cemented in place.

What are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are prosthetic devices used to fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth. A bridge typically consists of two crowns placed on the adjacent teeth (abutment teeth) and one or more false teeth (pontics) in between.

Benefits of Dental Bridges for missing Teeth:

  • Aesthetic Improvement : Restores your smile and maintains the natural shape of your face.
  • Improved Function : Restores your ability to chew and speak properly.
  • Preventing Tooth Movement : Keeps remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
  • Even Distribution of Bite Force : Helps evenly distribute the forces in your bite when you chew.

Procedure for Dental Bridges:

  1. Consultation and Planning : Initial consultation and X-rays to plan the bridge placement and prepare adjacent teeth.
  2. Tooth Preparation : The adjacent teeth are prepared to hold the crowns that will support the bridge.
  3. Impression : An impression of your teeth is taken to design a custom bridge.
  4. Temporary Bridge : A temporary bridge is placed to protect your teeth and gums while the permanent bridge is crafted.
  5. Fitting the Permanent Bridge : The custom bridge is checked for fit, adjusted as necessary, and cemented in place.
