Crowns & Bridges
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are precision-engineered tooth-shaped restorations designed to cover and protect damaged teeth. These prosthetic devices serve multiple purposes: reinforcing weakened tooth structures, supporting large fillings, and enhancing the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth. Crowns can be fabricated from various materials, including porcelain, metal alloys, or composite resins, each offering unique benefits in terms of durability, aesthetics, and biocompatibility. The choice of material depends on factors such as the tooth’s location, patient’s budget, and aesthetic preferences.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge serves as an effective solution for replacing missing teeth, maintaining facial structure, and redistributing bite pressure. This prosthetic device effectively bridges the gap created by one or more absent teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics to your smile. Bridges are typically anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants, providing a stable and long-lasting solution for tooth loss. They not only improve appearance but also prevent remaining teeth from shifting, maintain proper bite alignment, and enhance overall oral health.
Benefits of Dental Crowns & Bridges
– Restoration of tooth function and appearance
– Protection of weakened or damaged teeth from further decay
– Improvement of bite alignment and chewing efficiency
– Enhancement of overall smile aesthetics
– Prevention of tooth shifting and potential jaw problems
– Boost in self-confidence and quality of life
Both crowns and bridges are custom-made to fit each patient’s unique dental structure, ensuring optimal comfort and functionality. The procedure for installing these prosthetics typically involves multiple appointments, including initial consultation, preparation of the affected teeth, and final fitting. With proper care and maintenance, dental crowns and bridges can last for many years, providing a durable and effective solution for various dental issues.
