Crowns, Bridges & Dentures

Crowns:

A crown is a custom-made covering that fits over a decaying, broken, or cracked natural tooth. Crowns are fashioned of a variety of materials, including porcelain, gold, acrylic resin, or a combination of these. Porcelain has the most natural appearance, but it's also the least durable.

A crown patient's treatment strategy includes the following steps:

  • Using a local anaesthetic to numb the tooth so that the decay in or surrounding it can be removed.
  • Resculpting the tooth to ensure that the crown fits perfectly.
  • Making an impression of your teeth so that a custom-made crown can be manufactured (usually takes one to two weeks).
  • Making an acrylic resin temporary crown and placing it on the tooth while the custom-made crown is being produced.
  • Removing the temporary crown and putting the custom-made one onto the tooth (after the custom-made crown has arrived from the lab).
  • The dentist cements the crown into place after confirming that it looks and fits properly.

This procedure usually entails two to three appointments spread out over three to four weeks. To maintain healthy, bacteria-free teeth, gums, and crowns after the procedure, good dental care, including daily brushing and flossing, is necessary. Gum disease can be avoided by doing so. Your crowns can last a lifetime if you take proper care of them.

Bridges:

A bridge is a dental device that bridges the gap left by a missing tooth. A bridge may be required to avoid:

  • Shifting of the teeth, which can cause occlusion (bite) and/or jaw difficulties, as well as periodontal disease.
  • Bridges assist preserve a healthy, dazzling smile by preserving the integrity of existing teeth.

There are three different types of bridges:

  • The most common type of bridge is a fixed bridge, which consists of a filler tooth linked to two crowns that fit over the existing teeth and hold the bridge in place.
  • A filler is attached to metal bands that are bonded to the abutment teeth in the "Maryland" bridge, which is often used to replace lost front teeth. The metal bands are made of a white composite resin that matches the colour of the teeth.
  • When just one side of the span has teeth, the cantilever bridge is frequently employed. Two crowned teeth are positioned next to each other on the same side of the missing tooth gap in a standard three-unit cantilever bridge. The two crowned teeth that extend into the missing tooth gap or end are then joined to the filler tooth.

Dentures:

Periodontal disease, injuries, and tooth decay can all result in tooth loss. We can, however, restore your smile with dentures to replace your missing teeth. Dentists can now make them appear more natural and pleasant for patients because to improved technology and updated materials.

Complete and partial dentures are the two types of dentures available. Dentures that cover the entire jaw are known as complete dentures. Multiple lost teeth are replaced by partial dentures, which have a metal framework. Consult your doctor to determine which type is best for you.

It could take some time for you to become used to your dentures. Speaking and eating may feel strange at first, but once you've gotten used to your dentures, these activities will return to normal.
