A dental crown is used to restore and rebuild a damaged, broken or weakened tooth. A crown caps a tooth in order to protect the health of the natural tooth and improve the appearance and function. A crown is often used after root canal treatment or when a natural tooth has a large cavity. A ceramic, artificial crown is natural in appearance and strengthens the underlying tooth. But all other types of crowns are also provided like metal ceramic , metal or even temporary crowns. A dental bridge is a tooth replacement treatment which fills gaps by joining artificial teeth to the natural adjacent teeth.
A dental bridge is a long-term dental restoration technique which helps to restore confidence to those with broken, decayed or missing teeth. A dental bridge is a straightforward and affordable alternative to dentures and implants, and can be fabricated from a variety of different materials. Bridges can be fitted in a number of days and provide long-lasting results.
The process begins with a detailed examination of your teeth and gums. Our dentist will evaluate whether a fixed crown or bridge is the appropriate treatment for you.
For crowns, the damaged tooth is reshaped to create space for the crown to fit snugly over it. If you are getting a bridge, the teeth on either side of the gap (abutment teeth) are prepared in a similar way to anchor the bridge.
After preparing the teeth, the next step is to take an impression of your teeth. This helps create a custom crown or bridge that perfectly fits your bite. Additionally, the color of your natural teeth will be matched to ensure that the crown or bridge blends in seamlessly.
