Crowns and Bridges

Abhaya Dental Clinic

Dental health is a crucial part of our overall well-being, but problems like damaged or missing teeth can affect both appearance and functionality. This is where dental crowns and bridges come into play. Crowns and bridges are popular treatments to restore your smile, giving your teeth a natural look while ensuring they function just as they should. Whether it’s about strengthening a weak tooth, covering a damaged one, or filling the gaps left by missing teeth, crowns and bridges can help you achieve a confident, healthy smile.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are like a “cap” that fits over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. Think of it as a protective cover that brings your tooth back to its natural form, giving you both comfort and confidence.

When might you need a crown? A crown is often suggested when a tooth is heavily decayed, has had a root canal, or is cracked. Crowns can also improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth, making your smile look better and more uniform.

Types of Crown Materials:

Porcelain or ceramic: These crowns look natural and are often chosen for front teeth.
Metal: Strong and durable, these are used where the crown isn’t easily visible. Metal crowns are ideal for back teeth.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM): Offers both durability and a natural look, but can show a metal line over time.
Composite Resin: More affordable, but may wear down faster than other options.

With these material options, your dentist can choose the best one based on your specific needs, ensuring a long-lasting solution that looks great and feels comfortable.

Benefits of Crowns and Bridges

Crowns and bridges not only improve the look of your smile but also help maintain the health and alignment of your teeth.

Crowns:

Restoration: Crowns bring back the shape and function of a damaged tooth, making it look natural again.
Strengthening: A crown gives added support to a weak tooth, preventing further damage.
Protection After Root Canal: After a root canal, teeth can be fragile, so a crown protects them from any damage.

Bridges:

Smile Restoration: Bridges fill the gap left by missing teeth, helping you smile with confidence.
Prevents Shifting: A bridge keeps the surrounding teeth in their proper place, preventing bite issues or misalignment.
Better Chewing and Speaking: Filling the gaps with bridges helps with clearer speech and more comfortable chewing.

In essence, both crowns and bridges are great solutions for restoring both the look and function of your teeth, giving you the confidence to smile, eat, and speak without worry.

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a set of artificial teeth that “bridges” the gap between two teeth, replacing one or more missing teeth. It has two main parts: the false tooth (or teeth) in the middle and the crowns that hold it in place by attaching to the adjacent teeth.

Types of Bridges:

Traditional bridge: involves creating a crown on either side of the missing tooth.
Cantilever Bridge: Used when there’s only one tooth available next to the gap.
Maryland Bridge: Often chosen for front teeth, it uses metal or porcelain wings to bond to adjacent teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridge: Uses dental implants as support, making it more stable and long-lasting.
