Under Dr Trupti Sathe’s supervision, our well-experienced dental staff constantly aims to provide our clients with comfortable, painless and long-lasting dental care.
What are Dental Crowns and Tooth Bridges?
A dental crown is a cap that attaches to the gum to act as the top part of the tooth after it has been treated or altered. A typical dental bridge is one or more prosthetic teeth or pontic, also referred to as a false tooth, with the crowns or implants adjoining the space of the missing teeth.
- Crowns – This kind of dental restoration is used in cases where cavities, cracks, or after root canal treatment have damaged one or multiple teeth.
- Bridges – Designed to replace missing teeth by placing artificial teeth on implant crowns or adjacent natural teeth.
Types of Dental Crowns & Bridges
There are mainly three kinds of crowns and bridges which are offered to the patient as follows:
- Zirconia Crowns & Bridges – Aesthetic and Highly Durable
Zirconia crowns are made from zirconium dioxide, a complex, esthetic ceramic material that has gained a reputation for strength and appearance.
Advantages
- Highly aesthetic – Mimics the appearance of natural teeth closely.
- Non-toxic – Does not cause adverse effects when used in the long term and does not cause any allergies.
- Durable & wear-resistant – Outlasts traditional crowns.
- Flexibility- It can be done within a short period, within the same appointment.
Disadvantages
- Since they are fabricated from ceramic material, the cost is relatively higher than metal or metal-ceramic crowns.
- Resilient structure – This may not be suitable for anterior teeth.
- Carrying out the potential of wearing out the other natural teeth.
- Metal Ceramic Crowns and Bridges – Combining Strength and Aesthetics
Metal ceramic crowns consist of a strong metal structure with a ceramic material layer on the outside, providing chewing strength and appearance.
Advantages
- Cost-effective choice with satisfactory aesthetics.
- Extended lifespan due to high durability.
- Enhanced colour stability over time.
Disadvantages
- Potential for metal allergies, particularly with nickel-based alloys.
- It has less transparency than zirconia, which makes it appear less like natural teeth.
- Metal Crowns and Bridges – Durable and Long-Lasting
These crowns are robust due to the materials used, such as nickel, chromium, titanium, and gold.
Advantages
- They are highly resistant, making them appropriate for the molar region and areas under pressure during biting.
- Resistant to fractures and wear.
- Most gold crowns can last up to 30 years in all long-term cases.
Disadvantages
- Not tooth coloured, which may not be very appealing to the eye.
- Gold and titanium are expensive metals, as evidenced by the above examples.
- The materials with nickel base or nickel as an element may cause skin allergic reactions.
When Is a Dental Crown or Bridge Necessary?
- After root canal therapy to conserve the treated tooth.
- Someone may need a cracked, broken or damaged tooth fixed.
- As many people are aware, a bridge is used to replace the missing teeth.
- Cosmetic reasons include altering the tooth’s size, colour or shape.
- To plan an anterior tooth implant for full coverage.
Our Process for Crowns & Bridges Treatment
- Consultation and X-rays – Examination of the state of the tooth and determining the choice of material.
- Tooth Preparation – Where actual caries are removed and the tooth’s shape is shaped for restoration.
- Impressions & Customization – Crafting an accurate mould for your crown or bridge.
- A temporary Crown (if necessary) is purposely used to cover the tooth as the final crown is being made.
- Final Fitting & Cementation – Ensuring a seamless fit and natural look.
- Bite Check and Aftercare – Evaluating the state of alignment and advising the patient on the recommended course of action.
Advantages of Receiving Crowns & Bridges
- Enhancement of aesthetic — Improves the aesthetic appearance of the teeth.
