Crowns and bridges
Crowns and bridges are dental restorations used to restore damaged or missing teeth, improving both their function and appearance.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth. It is custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of the existing tooth. Crowns are used to restore teeth that have undergone significant decay, fracture, or root canal treatment. They provide strength and protection to the tooth, preventing further damage and preserving its natural function.
A dental bridge, on the other hand, is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth, called pontics, that are held in place by dental crowns on the adjacent healthy teeth or dental implants. Bridges are an excellent option for restoring the appearance and function of missing teeth, as they fill the gap and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
Both crowns and bridgeare made from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys. They are designed to blend seamlessly with the natural teeth, providing a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Additionally, they help restore the ability to bite, chew, and speak properly, improving overall oral health and confidence.
In summary, crowns and bridges are dental restorations used to repair damaged or missing teeth. Crowns are placed over damaged teeth to restore their structure and function, while bridges replace missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth between adjacent healthy teeth or implants. These restorations provide both functional and aesthetic benefits, helping to improve oral health and restore a natural-looking smile.
