Crowns and Bridges

• Severely Decayed Teeth: When a tooth has extensive decay that cannot be restored with a filling.
• Cracked or Chipped Teeth: To reinforce and protect teeth that have suffered structural damage.
• Post-Root Canal Treatment: After a root canal, a crown is often placed to restore the tooth’s shape and function.
• Cosmetic Improvements: Crowns can enhance the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.

Crowns are available in various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, and a combination of materials. The choice of material depends on the location of the tooth, aesthetic preferences, and the specific needs of the patient.

Bridges

Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges are designed to restore both function and aesthetics, helping to maintain facial structure and prevent neighboring teeth from shifting.

There are several types of bridges, including:

• Traditional Bridges: Consist of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) supported by crowns on either side.
• Cantilever Bridges: Used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the gap.
• Maryland Bridges: Feature a metal framework with wings that are bonded to the back of adjacent teeth.

Benefits of Crowns and Bridges

Both crowns and bridges offer several benefits:

• Restoration of Function: They enable patients to chew and speak normally.
• Aesthetic Enhancement: These restorations improve the appearance of the smile, providing a natural look.
• Durability: Made from strong materials, crowns and bridges can last for many years with proper care.
