Fixed Teeth-Crowns and Bridges
Crown
A crown is a hollow cap that is fixed onto a tooth and covers it entirely.
It is used in cases where there is a lack of tooth structure or for a tooth that is weakened by decay, damage or discolored. They are also usually required after Root Canal Therapy.
A crown can be placed to strengthen the tooth or to improve its appearance, shape or alignment.
Bridge.
Crown
A bridge is used as a fixed replacement for one or more missing teeth. Teeth neighbouring the empty space are used as anchors to place a bridge. Crowns and bridges may also be fixed upon dental implants.
We specialize in metal-free porcelain crowns and bridges that are translucent and very closely resemble your other natural teeth. Being metal-free, there is no ugly grey line at the edge as seen in the case of older metal based crown.

We also specialize in Zirconium crowns and bridges that are durable and esthetic. We use the most advanced technology(CAD-CAM) for this.in cosmetic dentistry zirconia provides great results and its esthetics & strength is exemplary.
The look of zirconia is so close to natural teeth that it is hard to tell the difference.
It is also a very strong substance that can endure wear and tear. It allows light to pass through as a normal tooth does and gives a natural look, unlike other metal cores that block the light.
Why do I need a bridge?
Oral functionality and appearance are important reasons for wearing a bridge.
A bridge helps support your lips and cheeks.
The loss of a back tooth may cause your mouth to sink and your face to look older.
Dental health is the most important reason for a bridge. Teeth were designed by nature to complement each other. Unusual stresses are placed on the gums and other oral tissues when teeth are missing, causing a number of potentially harmful disorders.
Increased risk of gum disease has proven to be one of the worst side effects of missing teeth and can be minimized with a bridge.
Missing teeth can cause speech disorders and inadequate chewing.
How is Bridge made
The procedure usually takes two or three appointments to complete. At the first appointment, our dentist will prepare the teeth on either side of the gap by removing a portion of the enamel and dentin.
Since the bridge must be fabricated very precisely to ensure the correct bite and to match the opposing tooth, impressions of the teeth are taken and sent to a lab where the bridge will be constructed.
Bridges are cemented to the natural teeth next to the space left by the missing tooth, Crowns of the bridge are cemented onto the natural teeth abutments, And pontic (false tooth) replaces the lost tooth.
.
What materials are used.
Bridges can be constructed from
metal alloys, porcelain, or a combination of both materials.
Porcelain is bonded to metal by fusing on metal.
Nowadays a state of art new material Zirconia innovated to replace previous materials which is far harder and more natural.
