Types of Dental Crown

In dental crowns, several types of materials can be used to suit different needs and preferences such as porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination, crowns are designed to mimic the natural colour and contour of your teeth. Here is a list of materials available given:

• Porcelain and ceramic crowns offer natural-looking aesthetics, making them ideal for visible teeth.
• Zirconia crowns provide exceptional strength and are suitable for molars and teeth enduring heavy chewing forces.
• Metal crowns, like gold or silver alloys, are highly durable but less aesthetically pleasing.
• Composite resin crowns offer affordability and a natural appearance, though they may not be as long-lasting.
• Sometimes, a combination of materials is used to achieve the desired balance of strength and aesthetics.

Types of Dental Bridges

The major types of dental bridges that we use to treat your missing tooth problem. Here are three different types of Dental Bridges in Ahmedabad options that we provide you-

• Traditional Dental Bridge, the most common one, has two crowns placed on the two healthy teeth, attached on either side of the replacement tooth/teeth
• The Cantilever Dental Bridge has only one supporting tooth crown to the artificial (replacement) tooth.
• Maryland Dental Bridge, known as resin-bonded bridges, works by having a metal framework to attach to the adjacent teeth (backside) of the artificial tooth.

When to Consider Dental Crown and Dental Bridge?

Dental crowns and bridges are recommended in several situations to restore dental health and function. Here are some situations where you might need a Dental Crown and Dental Bridge.

• If a tooth is lost due to decay, injury, or other conditions, a crown or bridge can replace it, preventing issues like shifting teeth and maintaining proper bite alignment.
• In cases where a tooth is severely damaged and cannot be restored with fillings, a crown provides comprehensive coverage and protection, allowing for normal chewing and biting.
• Dental bridges require crowns to anchor them in place by placing them on healthy teeth surrounding the gap, thus spanning the space and restoring both function and appearance.
• After a root canal treatment, a crown is often necessary to strengthen and protect the treated tooth, ensuring its longevity and functionality.

Dental crowns and bridges are essential for restoring missing or damaged teeth, supporting dental bridges, and protecting treated teeth after root canal therapy. These treatments become important in preserving oral health and enhancing the overall quality of life.

Benefits of Dental Crown and Bridge

Dental crowns offer a comprehensive solution to various dental issues, acting as a versatile treatment option for different conditions. They can:

• One of the primary benefits is their ability to support decayed teeth. By encasing the damaged tooth or missing teeth, crowns and bridges help restore its strength and integrity, allowing for improved functionality and bite strength.
• In cases of severe cracks or fractures, these are instrumental in holding the affected tooth together.
• Moreover, dental crowns are necessary to protect teeth that have worn away from further damage. Crowns act as a protective barrier, shielding the underlying tooth structure and preventing further deterioration.
• Beyond their functional benefits, these can also enhance the appearance of a tooth by altering its shape or colour.
• After a root canal procedure, teeth can become weakened and susceptible to fracture. Dental crowns provide essential protection for these treated teeth, helping to maintain their structural integrity and reducing the risk of complications.
• Furthermore, dental crowns can cover and protect dental implants, ensuring their stability and longevity.

Dental Bridge and Dental Crown Procedure

Our dental crown procedure involves several steps starting from consultation to single/multiple sessions and follow-up. Similarly, the procedure is for fixing the dental bridge. Here is what you can expect:

• In the initial consultation, Best Dental Crown Dentist in Ahmedabad evaluates your oral health and discusses your treatment goals. During this consultation, we take the time to explain the benefits of dental crowns or bridges and address any concerns or questions you may have.
• Following the initial consultation, the next step in the dental crown and bridge procedure is preparation. It involves carefully removing a small amount of enamel from the affected tooth to ensure a proper fit for the crown. In the dental bridge one, enamel is removed from one or two healthy teeth (depending on the type of dental bridge). This step is crucial for accommodating the tooth crown or dental bridge comfortably and securely.
• Once the tooth has been prepared, we take impressions of your teeth. These impressions are used to create a custom-made tooth crown and teeth bridge that matches the size, shape, and colour of your natural teeth. It ensures that your prosthesis will blend in seamlessly with your existing smile.
• While your permanent crown/bridge is being fabricated in our dental laboratory, we will place a temporary one to protect the prepared tooth and maintain its appearance. This temporary one will remain in place until your permanent crown/bridge is ready for placement.
• Once your custom tooth crown or teeth bridge is ready, you will return to our clinic for the placement. Our dentist will carefully cement that onto the prepared tooth, ensuring a precise fit and optimal functionality. Any necessary adjustments are made to ensure your bite feels comfortable and natural with the new dental crown or dental bridge.
• Once done, follow-ups are scheduled to check the progress or treat any discomfort, if there is any.
