Dental Crowns and Bridges
Crown and Bridge treatment is a long-term solution for restoring damaged teeth and replacing missing teeth. A Dental Crown is placed over an individual tooth—similar to a protective cap—when there is not enough healthy tooth structure remaining to support a filling. A Dental Bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by spanning the gap in the dental arch. The teeth on either side of the gap are prepared with crowns and are known as abutment teeth, which support the bridge.
Ceramic Crowns are used to restore the shape, strength, function, and appearance of a damaged or decayed tooth. After a Root Canal Treatment, a tooth becomes more susceptible to fracture. To strengthen and protect the tooth, it is reinforced with a dental crown. One of the most commonly used options is the Ceramic Fused to Metal (PFM) Crown, which combines the strength of metal with the natural appearance of ceramic.
The strength of the restoration comes from the metal framework, while the ceramic layer provides a natural look that closely matches the colour and appearance of the surrounding teeth. This allows the restored tooth to function normally for both chewing and aesthetics.
Ceramic Bridges are used to replace teeth that have been lost due to decay, injury, or other unavoidable reasons. For patients who need to replace one or more missing teeth, a Ceramic Bridge is one of the most common, efficient, and reliable treatment options. Crowns and bridges are forms of dental restorations that completely cover and protect a damaged tooth or dental implant. They are typically recommended when a large cavity or extensive damage threatens the health and strength of a tooth. These restorations are securely fixed in place using dental cement.
Dental Crowns help restore the natural anatomy, strength, function, and aesthetics of the tooth. They can also be used as part of treatment for replacing missing teeth when supported by bridges or dental implants. Dental crowns are available in different materials, including Metal Ceramic Crowns and the latest Zirconia Crowns.
Zirconia Crowns are highly durable, aesthetically pleasing, and designed for long-lasting performance. At Dr. Maulik Vora Dental Clinic & Implant Center, patients can choose from a wide range of Metal Ceramic and Zirconia Crowns and Bridges based on their clinical needs and aesthetic preferences.
