CROWNS AND BRIDGES

Dental crowns are used as caps on missing or fractured tooth to protect the life of your teeth. Dental Crowns are needed to:

• Protect or restore a tooth from fracturing due to accident or trauma
• Replace a tooth which is too large for a filling
• Restore the tooth on which RCT was performed
• Cover discolored or badly formed tooth
• Bridges are used when a missing teeth needs to be restored

Dental Crowns can be made various materials such as:

Metal Crowns

• They provide long term and the durable solution.
• The only drawback is that they are visible from a distance hence, suitable only for molars.

Porcelain-Fused-To-Metal (PFM)

• The inside of the teeth is made up of metal and the outer portion of the crown is made of porcelain, as a result, it has the dual advantage – metal which provides strength and porcelain which matches with the color of the teeth making it look like natural teeth.

Ceramic Crown

• If you do not want to have metal inserted inside your mouth but want the strength to match metal crowns then ceramic crowns is the best option available.
•  It blends more naturally with your tooth color making it unnoticed.
• It does not have any aesthetic concerns and is the best option for the front, back and even for the bridges.
