Restore Your Smile & Confidence with Custom Crowns & Bridges
Your Solution for a Strong, Beautiful, and Complete Smile
At [Your Clinic Name], we understand the impact that damaged or missing teeth can have on your daily life – from difficulty eating and speaking to a decline in self-confidence. That's why we specialize in crafting high-quality Dental Crowns and Bridges, custom-designed to restore the health, function, and aesthetics of your smile.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that completely covers a damaged or decayed tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Think of it as a protective helmet for your tooth.
When Might You Need a Dental Crown?
- To protect a weak tooth from fracturing or to hold parts of a cracked tooth together.
- To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down.
- To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't a lot of tooth structure left.
- To cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth for cosmetic improvement.
- To cover a dental implant.
- To anchor a dental bridge.
- After a root canal treatment to protect the treated tooth.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It "bridges" the gap created by missing teeth, typically by attaching to dental crowns on the adjacent natural teeth (called abutment teeth) or on dental implants. The artificial tooth (or teeth) that fills the gap is called a pontic.
Why Choose a Dental Bridge?
- Restore your smile by filling the gap of missing teeth.
- Restore the ability to properly chew and speak.
- Maintain the shape of your face by preventing facial collapse due to missing teeth.
- Distribute the forces in your bite by replacing missing teeth.
- Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position into the empty space, which can lead to bite problems and other dental issues.
Premium Materials for Lasting Results
We offer a range of high-quality materials for your crowns and bridges, chosen for their durability, aesthetics, and biocompatibility. During your consultation, we'll discuss which option is best suited for your specific needs, location in the mouth, and aesthetic goals.
- All-Porcelain / All-Ceramic (Zirconia & Emax):
- Benefits: Exceptional aesthetics, natural translucency, metal-free, ideal for front teeth.
- Ideal for: Patients seeking the most natural-looking restoration. Zirconia offers superior strength, while Emax provides unparalleled beauty.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM):
- Benefits: Combines the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain. A durable and time-tested option.
- Ideal for: Back teeth where strength is paramount, or for patients seeking a balance of strength and aesthetics.
- Gold Alloys / Other Metal Alloys:
- Benefits: Superior strength, highly durable, minimal tooth removal needed, kind to opposing teeth.
- Ideal for: Back teeth where maximum strength and longevity are desired, and aesthetic concerns are secondary.
The Treatment Process: What to Expect
The process for receiving a crown or bridge typically involves two appointments:
- Preparation & Impression:
- Your tooth (or teeth) will be prepared by carefully shaping it to allow the crown/bridge to fit perfectly.
- Impressions (molds) of your teeth are taken and sent to a specialized dental laboratory.
- A temporary crown or bridge will be placed to protect your prepared tooth/teeth while your custom restoration is being fabricated.
- Placement & Cementation:
- Once your custom crown or bridge arrives from the lab, you'll return for your second appointment.
- We will remove the temporary restoration and carefully check the fit, bite, and aesthetics of your permanent crown or bridge.
- Once perfected, the crown or bridge will be permanently bonded to your tooth (or abutment teeth) using a strong dental cement.
Caring for Your New Crown or Bridge
With proper care, your crown or bridge can last many years, often more than a decade!
- Maintain excellent oral hygiene: Brush twice daily and floss once a day. Special flossing tools (like floss threaders or water flossers) can be helpful for cleaning under bridges.
- Regular dental check-ups and cleanings: Continue to visit [Your Clinic Name] for routine examinations to ensure the health of your restoration and surrounding teeth and gums.
- Avoid chewing on hard objects: This includes ice, hard candies, or using your teeth to open packages, which can damage your restoration.
- Address any issues promptly: If you notice any discomfort, sensitivity, or changes in your bite, contact us immediately.
