Have a look at Crown and Bridge

What are crowns and bridges?

  • The crowns also known as caps are used in the dental restoration procedure to cover the bare surface of any tooth for the purpose of strengthening and improving the appearance of the latter.
  • A bridge, which literally bridges the gap due to loss of one or more teeth is used in the dental restoration procedure to fill the gap. The process involves fusing the artificial tooth to crowns on either side of the gap to provide support.

Bridges can help you

  • To rejuvenate your smile
  • To revive the capability to properly chew and speak
  • To preserve the shape of your face
  • To ensure proper distribution of the forces applied during the process of eating solid food
  • To arrest the gradual shifting of other teeth from their normal position.

Procedure to fix crown and bridge

How many sessions are necessary?

You need to come to the clinic of your dentist at least twice.

How long does the crown or the bridge last?

It may last the entire life. But at times it may get loosened or comes out from the gum. The most important rule to be followed for greater longevity of the crown or the bridge is to maintain a good oral hygiene. If due to an infection the bony structure that sustains the crown or bridge get damaged, the bridge or the crown will lose its support.

So it is highly recommended to brush the teeth at least twice daily with the prescribed toothpaste and mouthwash.
