Dental Crowns and Bridges Treatment in Ahmedabad
What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?
Dental Crowns are caps that cover a damaged, decayed, or aesthetically unpleasing tooth. Made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, crowns are designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth. They strengthen the tooth structure, restore its shape, and improve its appearance.
Dental Bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth anchored by crowns placed on adjacent natural teeth or implants. Bridges not only fill the gaps in your smile but also prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of alignment.
Indications for Crown and Bridge Treatment
During a dental examination, Dr. Stuti Bajaj will assess whether crown and bridgework is necessary. If you exhibit any of the following signs or symptoms, restorative treatment may be recommended.
Indicators for a Crown- Cracked Tooth without Symptoms: A tooth with a fracture may require a crown to prevent further damage, even if it doesn't cause discomfort.
- Sensitivity to Pressure and Temperature: Experiencing sensitivity, especially to biting or cold, can indicate the need for a crown to protect the tooth.
- Extensive Decay: When decay is so severe that there isn't enough remaining tooth structure to hold a filling, a crown is needed to restore the tooth's integrity.
- Post-Root Canal Treatment: Teeth that have undergone root canal therapy often require crowns for added strength and protection.
- Large, Failing Fillings: A tooth with a substantial silver (amalgam) filling that is deteriorating may need a crown to replace the compromised restoration.
- Missing Teeth: If you are missing one or more teeth, a bridge can help restore your smile and function.
- Desire for a Permanent Solution: Patients with removable partial dentures who seek a more stable and permanent option may consider a bridge.
