Crowns and bridges

Crowns and bridges

At Dental Space, we offer premium crowns and bridges to restore damaged teeth and replace missing ones, giving you back your confident smile. Our custom-made dental crowns and bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional strength.

Damaged or Missing Teeth Affecting Your Oral Health?

Teeth that are severely decayed, broken, or missing can compromise the function and aesthetics of your smile. These issues can lead to bite problems, difficulty in eating, and further dental complications. If you’re facing any of these issues, consider getting dental crowns and bridges at our clinic.
  • Extensive Tooth Decay: Crowns are often required when decay is too extensive for a simple filling, making them crucial for restoring the tooth’s function and appearance.
  • Broken or Cracked Teeth: Crowns are commonly used to protect and restore the integrity of damaged teeth, ensuring they remain functional and aesthetically pleasing.
  • Missing Teeth: Bridges, which often involve crowns, are used to fill gaps left by missing teeth, preventing other teeth from shifting and causing further dental issues.
  • Weak Teeth: Teeth with large fillings are at a higher risk of breaking, and crowns provide the necessary support to prevent this.
  • Severely Worn-Down Teeth: Crowns are effective in restoring the structure and function of teeth that have been worn down, particularly due to bruxism (teeth grinding).

Types of Dental Crowns at Dental Space

Zirconia Crown

Known for its strength and durability, zirconia crowns are a robust option that blends well with natural teeth.

How Do Crown and Bridges Work?

Crowns and bridges employ different mechanisms to restore your dental health, often complementing each other in comprehensive smile restorations.

Crowns

A dental crown is a cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. Crowns are typically used for teeth that are severely decayed, fractured, or have undergone root canal therapy. They are custom-made to match the color and contour of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless fit and appearance. The process involves:

  1. Preparing the affected tooth by removing a small amount of enamel
  2. Taking detailed impressions for crafting the custom crown
  3. Placing a temporary crown while the permanent one is fabricated
  4. Cementing the permanent crown over the prepared tooth

Bridges

A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by crowns placed on the adjacent natural teeth (abutments). Bridges help fill the gap created by missing teeth, restoring your ability to chew and speak properly, and enhancing your smile. The process involves:

  1. Preparing the adjacent teeth to support the bridge
  2. Creating impressions of the area for custom bridge fabrication
  3. Placing a temporary bridge to protect the prepared teeth
  4. Securing the permanent bridge, with the pontics filling the gap and the crowns anchoring to the abutments

Lasting Beauty with Crown & Bridges

Improved Functionality

Crowns and bridges help restore full chewing ability, allowing you to enjoy a varied diet without discomfort. They also enhance speech by replacing missing or damaged teeth, improving your ability to speak clearly.

Aesthetic Enhancement

Custom-made to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, providing a natural appearance. By restoring damaged or missing teeth, they also boost your overall confidence and self-esteem.

Durability and Longevity

Crafted from high-quality materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, providing long-lasting, durable solutions with proper care. They also protect and strengthen weakened or damaged teeth, prolonging their usability.

Preventing Further Dental Issues

Bridges prevent the remaining teeth from shifting into gaps left by missing teeth, maintaining proper bite alignment. They also help preserve jaw health by maintaining alignment and preventing bone loss.

Customized Treatment

Crowns and bridges are tailored for a personalized fit, ensuring optimal comfort and functionality.
