Crown & Bridge
Crown & Bridge treatments are restorative dental procedures designed to repair damaged teeth, restore functionality, and improve the appearance of your smile.
Dental Crown: A crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth to protect it, restore its shape, and improve strength and appearance.
Dental Bridge: A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to the adjacent natural teeth or implants. Bridges restore chewing ability, prevent teeth from shifting, and maintain facial structure.
Crown and bridge treatments are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a natural-looking and durable solution for missing or damaged teeth.
Things to Keep in Mind
- Initial Sensitivity: Teeth may feel sensitive after placement.
- Adjustment Period: Some patients may need minor adjustments for comfort.
- Requires Proper Oral Care: Crowns and bridges need regular hygiene to prevent decay.
- Potential Wear Over Time: Crowns and bridges may need replacement after years of use.
Care Tips After Treatments
- Brush and Floss Carefully: Pay attention to areas around crowns and bridges.
- Avoid Hard Foods: Reduce the risk of chipping or damaging restorations.
- Regular Dental Checkups: Ensure proper fit and check for any wear or damage.
- Use Fluoride Toothpaste: Protect underlying teeth from decay.
