Crowns & Bridges
We offer the entire spectrum of dentistry. If you have any questions about our services, we will be happy to advise you.
At Perfect 32 Dental Clinic and Implant Centre, we offer high-quality crowns and bridges to restore the functionality and aesthetics of your smile. Crowns and bridges are dental restorations designed to cover damaged teeth or replace missing teeth, providing long-lasting and natural-looking results. Our skilled dentists ensure that each restoration is custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing both your appearance and oral health.
What are Crowns?
Crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made coverings that fit over a damaged or decayed tooth. They are used to restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these. They are ideal for:
- Protecting a weak tooth from breaking
- Restoring an already broken or severely worn tooth
- Covering and supporting a tooth with a large filling
- Holding a dental bridge in place
- Covering misshapen or discolored teeth
- Covering a dental implant
What are Bridges?
Bridges are dental appliances used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap (abutment teeth) and a false tooth (or teeth) in between. Bridges can be made from porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, and are ideal for:
- Restoring your smile
- Maintaining the shape of your face
- Restoring the ability to chew and speak properly
- Preventing remaining teeth from drifting out of position
Benefits of Crowns and Bridges
Both crowns and bridges restore the ability to chew and speak properly.
Custom-made crowns and bridges blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing your smile.
With proper care, crowns and bridges can last many years, providing a durable solution to dental problems.
Crowns protect weak or damaged teeth, while bridges prevent remaining teeth from shifting.
The Procedure for Crowns
1. Consultation and Examination
Our dentist will examine your teeth, take X-rays, and determine if a crown is the best solution for your dental issue.
2. Tooth Preparation
The damaged tooth is reshaped to make room for the crown. If necessary, a filling material is used to build up the tooth to support the crown.
3. Impressions
An impression of the prepared tooth and surrounding teeth is taken to create a custom-made crown. This may involve digital scans or traditional molds.
4. Temporary Crown
A temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth while the permanent crown is being made.
5. Permanent Crown Placement
Once the custom crown is ready, the temporary crown is removed, and the permanent crown is fitted, adjusted, and cemented in place.
