What Are Crowns and Bridges?
Crowns and bridges are fixed prosthetic devices used to restore damaged or missing teeth. They are custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing durability and restoring your smile’s appearance and function.
Crowns:
- Purpose: A crown, also known as a dental cap, is placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance.
- Materials: We offer crowns made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, and porcelain fused to metal (PFM), ensuring durability and natural aesthetics.
- Benefits: Crowns protect weakened teeth, cover dental implants, and improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.
Bridges:
- Purpose: A dental bridge fills the gap created by one or more missing teeth, restoring your smile and preventing surrounding teeth from shifting out of position.
- Types: We provide traditional bridges, which are supported by adjacent natural teeth or implants, as well as resin-bonded bridges, which are bonded to adjacent teeth with wings.
- Materials: Bridges are crafted from strong and natural-looking materials, ensuring comfort and aesthetics.
Why Choose Crowns and Bridges?
- Restore Functionality: Crowns and bridges restore the ability to chew and speak properly.
- Enhance Appearance: They improve the appearance of your smile by filling gaps and covering damaged teeth.
- Maintain Oral Health: Prevent adjacent teeth from shifting and reduce the risk of gum disease and jaw joint disorders.
- Longevity: With proper care, crowns and bridges can last many years, providing a durable solution for tooth restoration.
Our Process:
- Consultation: We assess your oral health and discuss your goals and preferences.
- Treatment Plan: A personalized treatment plan is created, outlining the type of crown or bridge best suited to your needs.
- Preparation: For crowns, the tooth is prepared by removing a thin layer of enamel. For bridges, adjacent teeth are prepared to support the bridge.
- Impressions: Precise impressions are taken to ensure a perfect fit for your custom-made crown or bridge.
- Placement: Your crown or bridge is placed and adjusted for comfort and functionality.
- Final Adjustments: We ensure your bite is comfortable and provide instructions for care and maintenance.
