Dental crowns and bridges are part of restorative dentistry, which helps restore the appearance and functionality of teeth. Dental crowns are placed on top of damaged or weakened teeth to regain strength. Dental bridges are artificial teeth that fill in the gaps made by missing teeth and are anchored to the adjacent teeth on either side of the gap. Bridges provide more stability to dental prosthetics and are more functionally effective. At Smilekraft, we provide you with dental crowns and bridges in Nagpur that match your smile and fulfill your needs.
For dental crowns, the dentist first examines your condition and oral health to plan the type of crown to be placed. Then, the teeth are prepared for crown placement, which is then placed to improve the strength of the teeth.
For dental bridges used for missing teeth, a thorough consultation of the patient's dental health is done to learn about the history and condition. Then, impressions of the teeth are taken, and custom fabrications are made. Once the fabrications or bridges are made, the teeth are prepared for the placement of the bridge, and the bridge is placed. Upon placement, it is checked for further adjustments, and the procedure is completed.
Types of Dental Crowns
Material Options: Dental crowns are made of different materials to provide different levels of stability and experience. They can be made of porcelain, ceramic, metal, or porcelain-fused-to-metal, each with varying stability properties, appearances, and maintenance techniques.
Types of Dental Bridges
Traditional Bridges: Traditional bridges are simple dental bridges that are anchored to adjacent teeth with the help of crowns.
Cantilever Bridges: In cases where two adjacent teeth are not available but only one, a cantilever bridge, which is supported by a single adjacent tooth, is used.
Maryland Bridges: Maryland bridges are bonded to the back of the adjacent tooth with a metal or porcelain framework without requiring the adjacent teeth to be altered for crown placement.
Implant-Supported Bridges: When adjacent teeth are absent to support the bridges, implants are placed into the jaw, which acts as an anchor for the prosthetic bridges.
Benefits
Restored Functionality: Dental crowns and bridges improve functionality by restoring proper bite and speech and preventing teeth from shifting, which may cause misalignment of the remaining teeth.
Aesthetic Improvements: Crowns and bridges improve the appearance of your teeth by matching the color and shape of your natural teeth, making these prosthetics look natural.
Durability and Longevity: The materials used for designing crowns and bridges are strong enough to withstand biting and chewing forces and can be maintained for a very long time with proper care.
