Crowns And Bridges
A dental crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns are typically used to strengthen a tooth that has been significantly decayed, cracked, or broken. They provide structural support and protection, preventing further damage and preserving the tooth's functionality. Crowns can also be used for aesthetic purposes, covering discolored or misshapen teeth. They are usually made from materials like porcelain, metal, or a combination of both, and they are designed to blend seamlessly with the patient's natural teeth. Dental bridges are used when one or more teeth are missing. A bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are anchored in place by dental crowns attached to the neighboring healthy teeth. These crowns serve as abutments, holding the pontics in position. Dental bridges not only fill the gap created by missing teeth but also help maintain the alignment of the surrounding teeth, preventing them from shifting out of place. They improve a patient's ability to chew and speak, as well as enhance the appearance of their smile.
