Dental Crowns And Bridges
When it comes to restoring damaged or missing teeth, dental crowns and bridges are two of the most versatile and effective solutions available. Whether you're dealing with a cracked tooth, severe decay, or gaps in your smile, these dental prosthetics offer a reliable way to regain both functionality and aesthetics.
Understanding Dental Crowns
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made prosthetic restorations that encase a damaged or weakened tooth. Crafted from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, crowns are designed to mimic the natural appearance and function of a tooth. They provide strength, stability, and protection to teeth that have undergone extensive decay, trauma, or root canal therapy. Crowns not only restore the structural integrity of a tooth but also enhance its appearance, blending seamlessly with the surrounding dentition for a natural-looking result.
General Conditions Treated by Dental Crowns
- Tooth Decay: Crowns are often used to repair teeth that have large cavities or extensive decay that cannot be effectively treated with fillings.
- Cracked or Fractured Teeth: A dental crown can hold together and strengthen a cracked or fractured tooth, preventing further damage and restoring functionality.
- Root Canal Therapy: After root canal treatment, a crown is typically placed over the treated tooth to protect it from future infection and restore its shape and function.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: Crowns can be used to improve the appearance of misshapen, discoloured, or poorly sized teeth, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the smile.
Exploring Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are fixed prosthetics that fill in the space left by one or more missing teeth by bridging the space between neighbouring teeth. Consisting of one or more artificial teeth held in place by dental crowns, bridges restore the natural contour of the dental arch, improve bite function, and prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting out of alignment. Similar to crowns, bridges are custom-made to precisely match the size, colour, and form of the neighbouring teeth, guaranteeing a smooth integration with your smile.
