Crowns: A dental crown, often referred to as a cap, is a custom-made restoration that covers the entire visible part of a tooth. It is designed to mimic the shape, size, and color of a natural tooth, providing strength and protection to a weakened or damaged tooth. Crowns are typically made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these, chosen based on the location of the tooth and the patient’s aesthetic preferences.

Bridges: A dental bridge is a restorative structure used to replace one or more missing teeth. It is anchored on the adjacent teeth or dental implants, filling the gap left by the missing tooth. The bridge is composed of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap, and a false tooth or teeth in between. Like crowns, bridges can be made from various materials, ensuring both strength and a natural appearance.

Restoration of Damaged Teeth: When a tooth is cracked, severely decayed, or has undergone a root canal treatment, it becomes weak and vulnerable to further damage. A crown provides a protective cover, restoring the tooth’s shape, size, and functionality while preventing further deterioration.

Replacement of Missing Teeth: Missing teeth can lead to various complications, including difficulty in chewing, speaking, and maintaining proper oral hygiene. A bridge effectively replaces missing teeth, restoring normal oral functions and preventing adjacent teeth from shifting into the empty space.

Aesthetic Enhancement: Beyond functionality, crowns and bridges enhance the appearance of your smile. They are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring that your smile remains attractive and natural-looking.

Improvement of Oral Health: Missing or damaged teeth can lead to misalignment, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Crowns and bridges help maintain the proper alignment of teeth and contribute to better oral health by distributing bite forces evenly across the teeth.

Boosting Self-Confidence: A complete and healthy smile significantly impacts your self-esteem. By restoring damaged or missing teeth, crowns and bridges help you regain confidence in your appearance, allowing you to smile, speak, and eat without hesitation.
