A crown is an artificial replacement in the teeth that fit over the remaining part of teeth, by making a strong and natural shape. A crown is also known as a “cap”. We provide strengthening to the damaged teeth and improves their appearance, shape, or alignment. This treatment is Advised when the teeth are fractured or had a root canal treatment.
A bridge is a fixed dental replacement used to replace a missing tooth by joining an artificial tooth permanently to adjacent teeth. The bridge is generally recommendable by us when the patients have one or more teeth missing in the mouth. Gaps made by the missing teeth eventually become a problem.
Crown and bridge treatment provides great strength to the teeth and removes any disorder and misalignment.
Following are the advantages of this treatment:
To restore fractured teeth.
To protect weak teeth from fracturing.
To support a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth remaining.
To conceal badly shaped or discolored teeth.
To protect root canal treated tooth.
Dental crowns are primarily used to repair and strengthen damaged teeth. Dental crowns are routinely made for those teeth that have broken, have had large portions destroyed by tooth decay, or have had root canal treatment. This is because beyond just restoring a tooth’s shape, a crown can provide a reinforcing and strengthening effect too. The strengthening capability of a dental crown is because it cups over and encases the tooth on which it is placed. A crown acts as a splint that holds a tooth together. Once a crown has been placed, the tooth can withstand a greater level of chewing forces without risk of fracture. In comparison, dental fillings don’t substantially increase the overall strength of a tooth.
A lost tooth creates a gap in the alignment of teeth. Therefore, once the space is no longer occupied with a tooth, the teeth are likely to shift and move out of place. Thus, a bridge fills the gap and helps to maintain the structure of your smile.
