CROWN & BRIDGE
Revitalize Your Smile with Dental Crowns and Bridges
Dental crown
This is a tooth-like covering that is placed on a tooth that is carefully shaped. Dental crowns are used for restoring natural tooth’s appearance and strengthening the structure of the tooth especially after a root canal treatment. It is helpful in maintaining function of chewing food. It can also be used for protecting the tooth’s structure when it is broken and fractured. Dental crown preparation takes time, so while the crown is being fabricated, a temporary one might be given to you.
Dental Bridge
One of the traditional methods in replacing a missing tooth or teeth is through the fabrication of dental bridge. While doing this procedure, the teeth on both sides of the missing tooth will be shaped for dental crowns. A tooth will be fabricated and joined with the crowns and cemented over shaped teeth. When the bridge is placed on the teeth, it is fixed and non removable.
At Dazzle Dent Dental Clinic, we understand the importance of a confident and healthy smile. Dental crowns and bridges are versatile solutions that can help restore damaged teeth, fill gaps, and enhance the appearance of your teeth. Let us guide you through the benefits of these treatments and how they can transform your smile.
Dental Crowns: Restoring Beauty and Strength
Dental crowns, also called dental caps, are custom restorations designed to cover and protect damaged or decayed teeth. They are intended to match the variety, shape, and size of your normal teeth, giving a consistent and regular-looking arrangement.
When Are Dental Crowns Used?
- To Restore Damaged Teeth: Crowns are often used to repair teeth that are cracked, chipped, or severely decayed, restoring their strength and function.
- After Root Canal Treatment: Following a root canal, a crown is typically placed to protect the treated tooth and prevent further damage.
- To Cover Misshapen or Discolored Teeth: Crowns can be used to improve the appearance of teeth that are misshapen or severely stained.
- To Anchor Dental Bridges: Crowns are used as anchor points for dental bridges, holding the artificial teeth securely in place.
Dental bridges: improve your smile
Dental bridges are restorations that replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between existing teeth.They consist of artificial teeth (pontics) attached to neighboring teeth or dental implants.
Benefits of Dental Bridges:
- Restored Functionality: Bridges allow you to chew, bite, and speak with confidence, as well as maintain proper jaw alignment.
- Improved Aesthetics: Bridges fill in gaps left by missing teeth, restoring your smile's appearance and enhancing your self-esteem.
- Preserved Facial Structure: Gaps from missing teeth can cause facial sagging and changes in bite alignment. Bridges help maintain your natural facial shape and prevent these issues.
- Distribution of bite forces: Bridges help distribute bite forces evenly, avoiding unnecessary stress on surrounding teeth.
The Crown and Bridge Process:
- Consultation: Our dental team will assess your oral health, discuss your concerns, and determine if dental crowns and bridges are suitable for you.
- Preparation: For dental crowns, the affected tooth is prepared by removing any decay and shaping it for the crown. For bridges, adjacent teeth are prepared to support the bridge.
- Impressions: Precise impressions of your teeth are taken to create custom crowns and bridges that fit seamlessly into your smile.
- Temporary Restorations: While you’re permanent crowns and bridges are being crafted, temporary restorations may be placed to protect your teeth.
- Placement: Once your permanent restorations are ready, they are placed, adjusted for fit and bite, and securely bonded.
