Crown and Bridge Prosthetics

Tooth loss or severe tooth damage can cause both aesthetic and functional issues. The crowns, bridges, and prosthetics offered at our dental clinic provide effective solutions to restore the function and aesthetics of your missing or damaged teeth. Each treatment option offers specific solutions tailored to different needs and situations.

Crowns

Crowns are restorations that completely cover the top part of the tooth, strengthening it. They are typically used to protect and restore a tooth after decay, cracks, or wear.

What is a Crown?

A crown is a cap placed over a tooth to improve its appearance and function. Your dentist places a custom-made crown over the tooth to protect and strengthen it.

Advantages of Crowns

Tooth Protection: Strengthens and protects decayed or damaged teeth.
Aesthetic Improvement: Restores the natural appearance of the tooth.
Durability: Provides a durable and long-lasting restoration option.

Bridges

Bridges are restorations that replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring onto adjacent healthy teeth or implants. They fill the gap left by missing teeth, restoring chewing and aesthetic functions.

What is a Bridge?

A bridge is a fixed structure that replaces missing teeth by anchoring onto healthy teeth or implants. It covers the area of missing teeth, restoring natural tooth functions.

Advantages of Bridges

Replaces Missing Teeth: Fills gaps left by missing teeth and provides an aesthetic appearance.
Restores Chewing Function: Corrects chewing problems caused by missing teeth.
Natural Appearance: Provides a natural and aesthetically pleasing look.

Prosthetics

Prosthetics are restorations that replace missing teeth and fit with the gums. Prosthetics can be removable or fixed, depending on the number of missing teeth and the structure of the mouth.

What is a Prosthetic?

A prosthetic is an artificial tooth replacement for missing teeth. There are two main types:

Removable Prosthetics: These prosthetics can be easily removed and reinserted. They are typically used in cases of total or partial tooth loss.
Fixed Prosthetics: These are permanently placed prosthetics, usually anchored to tooth roots or implants.

Advantages of Prosthetics

Personalized Fit: Custom-made to fit the oral structure, providing comfortable use.
Functional Improvement: Replaces missing teeth, restoring chewing and speaking functions.
Aesthetic Improvement: Provides a natural appearance, improving your smile.

How Are Crowns, Bridges, and Prosthetics Made?

Examination and Planning: Your dentist evaluates your oral and dental structure. A treatment plan is created using X-rays or other imaging techniques.
Impression Taking: Before treatment, impressions of the teeth and oral structure are taken. This is necessary for accurate restoration.
Prosthetic Preparation: Crowns, bridges, or prosthetics are custom-made in specialized laboratories to fit the patient’s oral structure.
Application: The prepared restoration is placed in the mouth. Your dentist will make any necessary adjustments for fit and aesthetics.

Post-Care for Crowns, Bridges, and Prosthetics

Hygiene: It is important to clean the restorations regularly and maintain oral hygiene. Brushing, flossing, and cleaning the prosthetics are recommended.
Check-ups: Regular dental check-ups should be scheduled to assess the condition of the restorations and make any necessary adjustments.
Diet: It is recommended to avoid hard and sticky foods. Over time, you can gradually return to a normal diet based on your dentist’s recommendations.
