Dental Crowns & Bridges are the perfect answer to issues such as cracked, broken, decayed, missing, damaged, or weakened teeth. If any of these problems are taking away from your beautiful smile, then you should consider undergoing treatment to restore the health and beauty of your teeth. While dental crown treatment focuses on improving or restoring the appearance of a damaged tooth, dental bridge treatment is about replacing the gap caused by missing teeth. Dental crowns and bridges are and should be, custom-made for each patient to ensure maximum accuracy and benefits.
A dental crown is a restoration cover for your damaged tooth. They can be made with different materials like metal alloys, porcelain, etc. Crowns help in restoring the natural appearance and function of the tooth. Dental bridges, on the other hand, are designed to fill the space caused by one or more missing teeth with the help of dental crowns.
Crown & Bridge, each have their benefits that make it necessary. A dental crown is needed to prevent your already damaged tooth from deteriorating any further. It can correct the alignment, aesthetics and shape of teeth so that you can smile with confidence. A dental bridge is necessary to maintain good oral health. Missing teeth can cause other teeth to shift from their places. Eventually, oral functions like speaking and chewing become harder. With a bridge, you will have a full set of teeth to support these important oral abilities.
When it comes to dental crown treatments, several factors require consideration. Aesthetics, longevity, patient’s dental history and proper fit. It is these factors that make custom-made crowns necessary. Each person may have a different preference when it comes to the material of crowns. For example, gold crowns can be suitable in cases where tooth is not in a visible area. While some people may prefer porcelain for a natural look. Another important factor is that of correct fit. Exact fitting is crucial to ensure that the crown covering lasts a long time. This is why you want to make sure that your dental crowns are custom-made according to your needs.
Dental crown treatment typically requires two appointments to complete. During the first appointment, the tooth to be crowned is prepared, its impression is taken, and a temporary crown is placed on it. Using the impression made, a final crown is fabricated. During the second appointment, the produced crown is cemented in its proper place.
Dental bridge treatment can also extend over one appointment. In the first appointment, the dentist will reshape the teeth, on two ends of the gap, that will be crowned. Then the dentist will take a dental impression and send it to the lab for bridge fabrication. Until the final bridge is ready, you may be given a temporary bridge. Once the final bridge is prepared, it will be cemented in its place.
