Dental Crown and Bridge

Dental Crown

Dental Bridge

A dental crown is a custom-fitted restoration that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, and appearance. The treatment involves preparing the tooth by removing decay and shaping it to perfectly fit the crown. Dentists typically use materials like porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination to create durable and natural-looking crowns. Benefits include protecting weak teeth from further damage, covering severely discolored or misshapen teeth, restoring broken or severely worn teeth, supporting large fillings, protecting a root canal treated tooth and improving overall dental aesthetics. Crowns can also help maintain proper bite alignment and prevent additional dental complications.

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between existing teeth. The treatment involves creating a custom-made bridge consisting of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Benefits include restoring proper chewing function, maintaining facial structure, preventing teeth from shifting, improving speech clarity, and enhancing overall smile aesthetics. The procedure typically requires two dental visits: one for preparing the supporting teeth and taking impressions, and another for fitting and cementing the bridge. Bridges can be made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, providing a durable and natural-looking tooth replacement solution that helps patients regain confidence and oral functionality.
