Crowns & Bridges

Crowns and bridges are porcelain teeth used to restore teeth when there is damage to most or all of the tooth surface or cosmetic teeth when it is necessary to cover the entire tooth with is not pretty color and shape. Crowns and bridges are fixed to the crown or on the Implant.

When To Use Crowns?

Crowns are indicated for use in the following specific cases:

– The tooth is damaged on a large or total surface that cannot be restored with fillings or Inlay/Onlay.

– Protect and restore weak, cracked teeth after root canal treatment

– Covering all teeth with bad color and shape

- Attached to the bridge

– Restoration of teeth on Implant

Before placing the crown on the crown, the dentist will reconstruct the crown, such as taking the pulp, placing/casting the false pulp, and placing the pin-filling.

The doctor always tries to preserve the maximum amount of pulp for you. Root canal extraction is only done when necessary, such as if a tooth with decay, a significant break, and a pulp.

When To Use A Bridge?

Bridges are applied in case of missing one or more teeth but still have abutment teeth at both ends. This is the optimal choice when you do not want to install removable dentures that cause inconvenience but are not qualified to do Implant.

The doctor will make a bridge to put in the missing tooth space for you by preparing the natural teeth on both sides of the head to attach the bridge. These teeth act as pillars for the bridge, so it is necessary to have strong teeth at both ends of the missing teeth. Before placing the bridge, the doctor must also regenerate the crowns of the two abutment teeth to be eligible for a crown or crown.
