Restore Strength & Beauty by Dental Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns and bridges are reliable restorative solutions designed to repair damaged teeth and replace missing ones while restoring both function and aesthetics. A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a weakened or broken tooth to protect it, strengthen it, and restore its natural shape and appearance. A dental bridge, on the other hand, fills the gap created by one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the adjacent natural teeth or crowns. Crafted from durable, high-quality materials, crowns and bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your smile, helping you chew comfortably, speak clearly, and regain full confidence in your teeth.
Crowns & Bridges – Complete Explanation
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fully covers a damaged, weak, cracked, or heavily filled tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, size, and appearance, protecting it from further damage. Crowns are commonly recommended after root canal treatment, large fillings, fractures, or severe wear.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth (or teeth) anchored to the neighboring natural teeth or dental implants. The adjacent teeth are covered with crowns to hold the bridge securely in place, effectively “bridging” the gap.
How Do They Work?
For Crowns:
- The tooth is reshaped to create space for the crown.
- An impression or digital scan is taken.
- A custom crown is fabricated in a dental lab.
- The crown is permanently cemented onto the tooth.
For Bridges:
- The teeth next to the missing gap are prepared.
- Impressions are taken to design the bridge.
- A custom bridge is made.
- The bridge is fixed securely in place.
When Are Crowns & Bridges Needed?
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Severely decayed teeth
- After root canal treatment
- Missing one or more teeth
- Large worn-down fillings
- To improve bite alignment and chewing function
