Crowns and Bridges
Restoring Function and Aesthetics
Crown and bridge dentistry is a branch of restorative dentistry that focuses on repairing and replacing damaged or missing teeth. Crowns and bridges are dental prosthetic devices that serve different purposes:
Dental Crowns
A dental crown, also known as a cap, is a custom-made restoration that covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance, allowing it to function properly. Crowns are commonly used to treat teeth with extensive decay, cracks, fractures, or after root canal therapy.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between two healthy teeth or dental implants. It consists of artificial teeth, called pontics, which are anchored to adjacent teeth or implants. Dental bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly, prevent teeth from shifting, and enhance your smile’s aesthetics.
Why might a person need crowns and bridges?
Tooth Decay and Damage
Teeth that are severely decayed, cracked, or fractured may require dental crowns to restore their strength and protect them from further damage. Crowns provide a durable and natural-looking solution to preserving damaged teeth.
Missing Teeth
Gaps from missing teeth can cause various issues, such as difficulty chewing, speech problems, and an altered bite. Dental bridges offer a fixed and stable solution to replace missing teeth, restoring your ability to bite, chew, and speak confidently.
Aesthetics
Crowns and bridges not only restore functionality but also improve the appearance of your smile. They can enhance the shape, colour, and alignment of your teeth, resulting in a more natural and attractive smile.
Support for Dental Implants
Dental crowns are often used in conjunction with dental implants, which are artificial tooth roots placed in the jawbone. Crowns are attached to the implants to replace individual missing teeth, providing a sturdy and long-lasting solution.
