Our state-of-the-art Crown & Bridge solutions are designed to restore damaged, decayed, or missing teeth, providing durable, natural-looking results that blend seamlessly with your existing smile.

What Are Dental Crowns & Bridges?

These fixed prosthetic devices are time-tested solutions in restorative dentistry, meticulously crafted to strengthen teeth, replace missing ones, and enhance the overall appearance of your smile.

1. Dental Crowns (Caps)

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth, encasing it to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Think of it as a protective "helmet" for your tooth.

Key Indications for a 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 severely worn down.
• To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't much tooth structure left.
• To cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth.
• To cover a dental implant.
• To make a cosmetic modification.
• To support a dental bridge.

2. Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth (called a pontic) to adjacent teeth or dental implants. Bridges "bridge the gap" created by missing teeth.

Key Indications for a Bridge:

• To replace one or more missing teeth.
• To prevent remaining teeth from shifting into the empty space.
• To restore your chewing ability and speech.
• To maintain the shape of your face.
• To upgrade from a removable partial denture to a fixed solution.

• Enhance Aesthetics: Custom-matched to your natural teeth for a flawless, natural-looking smile.
• Improve Speech: Correct issues caused by missing teeth.

Our Advanced Materials & Customization Options

We utilize the latest advancements in dental materials to ensure your restoration is both beautiful and robust. During your consultation, we'll discuss the best option for your specific needs, budget, and aesthetic goals.

1. All-Ceramic / Zirconia Crowns & Bridges

• Advantages: Unmatched aesthetics, highly biocompatible (metal-free), excellent strength, ideal for front teeth and patients with metal allergies.
• Best For: Those prioritizing a natural, translucent appearance and superior strength.

2. Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns & Bridges

• Advantages: A strong metal base provides durability, while a porcelain layer offers good aesthetics. A classic, reliable choice.
• Best For: Situations requiring a balance of strength and appearance, particularly for back teeth.

3. E-max Crowns (Lithium Disilicate)

• Advantages: Known for its exceptional translucency and strength, E-max provides outstanding aesthetic results, especially for single crowns and veneers.

4. Gold Alloy Crowns

• Advantages: Excellent biocompatibility, gentle on opposing teeth, highly durable and fracture-resistant. Less tooth reduction may be required.
• Best For: Back teeth where strength and longevity are prioritized over aesthetics, and for patients with severe bite issues.

The Crown & Bridge Process: What to Expect

The journey to your restored smile typically involves a few carefully planned appointments:

1. Comprehensive Consultation & Planning: We'll conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays and digital scans, to assess your oral health and discuss your treatment goals.
2. Tooth Preparation: For crowns, the natural tooth is carefully reshaped to create an ideal foundation. For bridges, the adjacent "abutment" teeth are prepared.
3. Impressions & Temporaries: Precise impressions or digital scans are taken to create a model for the dental lab. A temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect your teeth while your custom restoration is being fabricated.
4. Lab Fabrication: Our skilled dental ceramists meticulously craft your custom crown or bridge using the chosen material, ensuring a perfect fit and aesthetic match.
5. Final Placement: Once your permanent restoration is ready, the temporary is removed, and the new crown or bridge is carefully fitted, adjusted for bite and comfort, and permanently bonded into place.

Maintaining Your Investment

With proper care, your crown or bridge can last for many years, even decades.

• Oral Hygiene: Brush twice daily and floss once a day, paying special attention to the margins around the crown/bridge.
• Regular Check-ups: Maintain your routine dental cleanings and examinations.
• Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with extremely hard or sticky foods that could potentially damage your restoration.
• Protective Appliances: If you clench or grind your teeth (bruxism), a nightguard may be recommended to protect your crown or bridge.
