Introduction
Crown and bridge procedures are integral components of restorative dentistry, designed to repair and enhance the function and appearance of damaged or missing teeth. Crowns, often referred to as “caps,” are custom-made coverings that fit over a tooth to restore its shape, strength, and function. Bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants. These procedures are typically performed in a dental clinic, offering a reliable solution for restoring a healthy, natural-looking smile and function. With advancements in dental technology, crowns and bridges are now more durable and aesthetically pleasing, blending seamlessly with natural teeth.
Types of Crown and Bridges
- Custom-made caps that cover the entire tooth to restore its shape, size, and function.
Porcelain Fused to Metal bridge is a dental restoration that uses two PFM crowns with a fake tooth in the middle to replace missing teeth.
- Natural-looking and ideal for front teeth, these crowns blend well with your existing teeth. They’re durable but can chip more easily than other materials.
- Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, improving their appearance by altering color, shape, size, or length. They offer a natural-looking, durable solution for chipped, discolored, or misaligned teeth.
Utilize a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth to support the replacement tooth.
- Anchored to dental implants rather than natural teeth, providing a strong and stable foundation.
Strong, durable, and tooth-coloured, making them ideal for both aesthetics and strength. Perfect for back teeth and those who grind their teeth.
- Affordable but less durable, resin crowns are often used as temporary solutions. They can match the colour of natural teeth but are prone to wear and discoloration.
