Dental Crowns & Dental Bridges

Dental Crowns

A dental crown, often referred to as a cap, is a custom-made restoration that covers a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and improve its appearance. The dental crown procedure involves preparing the natural tooth, taking an impression, and placing a temporary crown while the permanent crown is being crafted in a dental lab. These crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Protection
Crowns are used to protect and strengthen a tooth that has been weakened due to extensive decay, large fillings, or fractures.
Restoration
They restore the shape, size, and appearance of a tooth that may be severely damaged or discoloured.
Support for Dental Bridges
Crowns are used as anchor points to support dental bridges, bridging the gap created by missing teeth.
Covering Dental Implants
Crowns are placed atop dental implants to replace missing teeth effectively.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges serve as a durable solution for missing teeth, effectively bridging the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge is anchored on either side by dental crowns placed on the remaining teeth or dental implants, with artificial teeth filling the space. The types of dental bridges include the traditional dental bridge, cantilever bridge, Maryland dental bridge, and implant-supported bridges, each catering to specific needs based on the location of the missing tooth and the condition of the surrounding teeth.

Dental bridges are vital for maintaining oral health and function, and they offer the following benefits:

Tooth Replacement
Bridges are used to fill gaps left by missing teeth, preventing adjacent teeth from shifting out of position.
Restoration of Chewing Function
They restore the ability to chew and speak properly, improving overall oral function.
Aesthetic Enhancement
Bridges enhance the appearance of the smile by replacing missing teeth and improving facial symmetry.
Support for Adjacent Teeth
By replacing missing teeth, bridges help distribute bite forces more evenly, reducing the strain on neighbouring teeth.
Maintaining Jaw Structure
Bridges help maintain the natural shape and alignment of the jaw.

Both dental crowns and bridges are integral to restorative dentistry, playing a vital role in maintaining oral health, functionality, and aesthetics. These treatments not only help replace missing teeth but also prevent the remaining teeth from drifting out of position, thereby preserving the natural structure of your mouth. The dental bridges cost can vary depending on the type of bridge, materials used, and the complexity of the placement, but investing in these solutions can significantly improve your quality of life and confidence.
