Dental Crowns

Description

Damaged, weakened, or missing teeth can affect your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. Dental crowns and bridges are effective restorative treatments designed to restore the strength, function, and appearance of your teeth.

At SS Dental Care, Dr. Shalini Sharma provides custom-made crowns and bridges that blend naturally with your existing teeth. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth between adjacent natural teeth or implants.

Dental restorations are planned according to individual needs to help restore tooth function, comfort, and appearance.

What Happens During Crown & Bridge Treatment?

The process begins with a detailed examination and assessment of your dental condition. For a dental crown, the affected tooth is carefully prepared and reshaped to accommodate the crown.

Impressions of your teeth are then taken to create a custom restoration that matches the color and shape of your natural teeth. A temporary crown may be placed while the permanent restoration is being fabricated.

For dental bridges, the supporting teeth are prepared, and a custom bridge is designed to fill the gap left by missing teeth. Once ready, the crown or bridge is securely placed and adjusted for a comfortable fit and proper bite alignment.

Caring for Dental Crowns and Bridges

Proper oral hygiene helps maintain dental crowns and bridges and supports the health of surrounding teeth and gums. Brush twice daily, clean between your teeth, and attend regular dental checkups to monitor your restorations.

For dental bridges, cleaning beneath the artificial tooth is particularly important to remove trapped food and plaque. Avoid biting hard objects, and consult your dentist if a crown or bridge becomes loose, damaged, or uncomfortable. The lifespan of a restoration depends on its material, fit, oral health, and ongoing care.
