What are Dental Bridges & Crowns?

Dental Crowns and Bridges are common treatments that help restore damaged or missing teeth. They improve the look, function, and strength of your smile.A Dental Crown is like a protective cap that covers a weak, broken, or decayed tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape and strength so you can chew and smile with confidence. Crowns are usually made of porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, and are custom-designed to match your natural teeth perfectly.Dentists use a Dental Bridge when one or more teeth are missing. It fills the space with artificial teeth (called pontics) that are held in place by crowns attached to the nearby teeth. This not only restores your smile but also keeps your remaining teeth from shifting out of place.Crowns and Bridges are long-lasting solutions that help you eat, speak, and smile comfortably again. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, they can last for many years and keep your oral health in great shape.

When are Dental Bridges & Crowns required?

No serious infections or health issues

Healthy gums and strong bone support

Good overall oral health

Commitment to oral hygiene

Types of Dental Bridges & Crowns

Dental Bridges & Crowns come in different materials, each designed to meet specific needs for strength, durability, and appearance. Understanding the types of crowns for teeth and bridges helps you choose the right option for your smile.

Dental Crown Types

Metal Crowns

Metal Crowns are extremely strong and long-lasting. They can handle heavy chewing and are ideal for back molars. While not very aesthetic because of their metallic colour, they rarely chip or break and are great for patients needing durability.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns

These crowns combine the strength of metal with the natural look of porcelain. The metal inside provides solid support, while the porcelain outside blends beautifully with your natural teeth. PFM crowns are among the best dental crowns for front teeth if you want both beauty and durability.

All-Ceramic or Porcelain Crowns

Ceramic Crowns are entirely metal-free and look just like natural teeth. They are the best crowns for front teeth because of their lifelike colour and translucency. However, they are more delicate compared to metal options and best suited for visible teeth rather than molars. Ceramic crowns are also preferred when a patient is undergoing an MRI.

Dental Bridges Types

Cantilever Dental Bridge

This type is supported by a crown on only one side of the missing tooth. It’s used when there’s only one natural tooth available next to the gap.

Maryland Dental Bridge

Also called a resin-bonded bridge, it uses metal or ceramic wings attached to the back of neighbouring teeth. It’s usually used for replacing front teeth due to its natural look.

Traditional Dental Bridge

The most common type of bridge uses artificial teeth held in place by dental crowns on both sides. Ideal for patients with healthy teeth next to the missing gap.

Implant-Supported Bridge

Instead of relying on crowns, this bridge uses bridge teeth implants placed into the jawbone for strong and long-lasting support. It’s ideal for patients missing multiple teeth in a row.

Daily Care Routine

To maintain the integrity of your dental bridge, brush twice a day using a soft toothbrush & fluoride toothpaste. You should also floss under the bridge using a floss threader, super floss or a water flosser to remove trapped food and plaque that can cause decay. Complement your cleaning routine by rinsing with mouthwash to reduce bacteria around your crowns and keep your breath fresh. Finally, protect your investment by avoiding hard or sticky foods as these can damage your dental bridge.

Professional Dental Care

For optimal oral health, visit our crowns and bridges specialty dental clinic every six months for a comprehensive check-up, professional cleaning, and X-rays. Please alert your dentist immediately if you experience any looseness, discomfort, or sensitivity to temperature, as these could signal underlying issues.
