Crowns are
a cap used to cover over a tooth that may be broken or decayed to
strengthen or improve the cosmetic appearance of the tooth. Crowning is
a popular procedure available at our Centre
Types of dental crowns
1) Ceramic crowns look like normal teeth and are ideal for use on the front teeth.
2) Porcelain crowns are composed of porcelain fused to metal.
3) Metal Crowns- Metal crowns are ideal for use on the back teeth.
Depending on the condition of the tooth, a root canal may be
necessary before placing a dental crown on the tooth.
The dentist will then file the tooth down to make room for the crown.
An impression of the tooth and the surrounding teeth will then be made
to create a crown. An acrylic crown will be put on the tooth in the
meantime.The permanent crown is put in place during a follow up visit.
A dental Bridge is
an appliance used to fill a gap from a missing tooth. You can greatly
enhance the appearance of your teeth and get a beautiful smile with
dental bridging at Dr Nadia’s Clinic..
The dentist begins bridgework by filing down the teeth to accommodate
the crowns.
Impressions
of the teeth are made to create the dental crowns. The false tooth (or
teeth) will then be bonded to the crowns. The bridge will be put in
place during a follow up visit.
