Dental Bridges and Crown Treatment in Bangalore
Dental Bridges and Crowns
Bridges and crowns are fixed prosthetic prostheses that a dentist or prosthodontist cements onto natural teeth or dental implants. Most frequently, crowns are used to completely encase an implant or a damaged tooth.
Our dentist may advise a crown when a huge filling can no longer be replaced because not enough tooth is left.
- To Prevent a brittle tooth from breaking
- To repair a broken tooth
- To Add a bridge.
- As a dental implant cover
- To Cover a tooth that is distorted or discoloured.
- To Protect a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy.
Eventually, gaps left by missing teeth cause the remaining teeth to shift, leading to a poor bite. Additionally, gum disease and TMJ problems might result from this. If you have one or more missing teeth, bridges are frequently used. They are fixed to the surrounding natural teeth or dental implants and bridge the gap left by lost teeth.
Various kinds of dental bridges.
- Traditional Bridge
- Cantilever Bridge
- Maryland Bridge
Traditional Bridge
This type of bridge, comprised of ceramic or porcelain fused to metal, is most commonly used in dentistry. Dental crowns are created for the teeth (abutment teeth) on each side of the lost tooth and the pontic in the middle.
Cantilever Bridge
This is used when the patient lacks two teeth on either side of the missing tooth. The pontic is affixed to the end of the prepared abutment teeth next to one another.
Maryland Bridge
The pontic (fake tooth) is attached to the metal or porcelain wings bonded to the two abutment teeth of this bridge, which is constructed from a metal framework. This bridge serves as a traditional bridge’s conservative replacement.
