Dental Crowns

A dental crown serves as a cover for a damaged tooth or as an anchor for a dental bridge. A crown is usually suggested when the root of a tooth is intact but the surface (enamel) area of the tooth is damaged. Dental crowns cover the entire visible surface area of an affected tooth and add strength, durability and stability to the tooth. There are various situations that would require the placement of a crown, such as root canals, dental bridges, lost fillings,decay below a filling and chipping and cracking of tooth enamel. Crowns may be made of metal, porcelain, or newer restorative materials like metal free ceramics.

How the Procedure Works

The teeth to be crowned are prepared which involves reduction of the tooth size (usually under local anaesthesia) followed by an impression or mould of the prepared tooth. This preparation of the tooth is required to create space for the crown to be fitted. The mould taken is then sent to a laboratory where skilled technicians will fabricate the crown. In the meanwhile, a temporary crown is made and fitted onto the prepared tooth.

Will it look natural?

Yes, our main goal is to create crowns that look like natural teeth. To achieve a certain look, a number of factors are considered, such as the color, bite, shape, and length of your natural teeth. Any one of these factors alone can affect your appearance. If you have a certain cosmetic look in mind for your crown, discuss it with us at your initial visit. When the procedure is complete, your teeth will not only be stronger, but they may be more attractive.

Types of Dental Crowns

There are different types of crowns: metal, porcelain fused to metal (PFM), and all ceramic crowns.

  • Metal Crowns are used in molars and areas where the forces from chewing and grinding are most prevalent. Metal crowns are extremely durable.
  • PFM (Porcelain Fused to Metal) Crowns look like ceramic crowns and have the strength of metal crowns. PFM crowns are used to correct both the aesthetic and structural damage of the tooth. These crowns have a metal substructure and may require an opaque layering below the porcelain. Because of the opaque layer, it may be difficult to replicate the translucency of natural teeth.
  • All Ceramic Crowns are used primarily for front teeth, as they best resemble the natural tooth color. They are made of bonded all-porcelain. These crowns are metal-free and have the most natural appearance of all crown types as they are almost indistinguishable from natural teeth.

What is Bridges

A bridge is a dental appliance that replaces one or more natural missing teeth,thereby “bridging” the space between two teeth. Bridges are cemented into place on the “abutment” teeth–the surrounding teeth on either side of the space or span. Unlike removable partial dentures,bridges cannot be taken out of the mouth by the patient.

Bridges can be used to replace missing teeth if the neighboring teeth are sufficiently strong. The number of missing teeth, condition of the neighboring teeth, condition of the supporting gums and bone are all important factors which need to be assessed prior to making a bridge.

Who should get a bridge?

A person with missing teeth and committed to maintaining good oral hygiene practices,is a good candidate for a bridge. A bridge is the most natural choice to fill the space in the mouth left by missing teeth. If left unfilled, this space can cause the surrounding teeth to drift out of position and can cause teeth and gums to become more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease that can cause further tooth loss. Bridges not only correct an altered bite, improve the chewing ability and speech, but they also safeguard the appearance by preventing the collapse of facial features that can cause premature wrinkles and age lines.
