Crowns And Bridges
Crowns and bridges are an optimal way to repair broken or weakened teeth as a result of tooth decay or a very big filling.
Both crowns and most bridges are fixed instruments of the prosthesis. In comparison to removable instruments such as dentures that can be removed and cleaned daily, crowns and bridges are cemented on current teeth or implants and can be removed only by a dentist.
Crowns
A crown is an artificial restoration that fits over a prepared tooth’s remaining portion, making it strong and offering it a natural tooth shape. Sometimes a crown is known as a’ cap.’
Bridges
Tooth loss has a great impact on personal appearance and dental health.
When one or more teeth are missing the remaining teeth can drift out of position, which can lead to a change in the bite, decay, gum disease and even the loss of an additional tooth. Missing teeth can be replaced by a bridge, which consists of one or more replacement teeth anchored by crowns on either side.
A bridge can be recommended if one or more teeth are missing. Gaps left by missing teeth ultimately rotate or move the remaining teeth into the empty spaces, leading in a poor bite. Gum disease and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders may also result from the imbalance created by missing teeth.
