Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a decayed, damaged, or cracked tooth above the gumline. Crowns can be made from porcelain, gold, acrylic resin, or a mix. Porcelain offers a natural look but is less durable, while Zirconia ceramic is known for its strength and is often used as a base with a porcelain outer layer for better aesthetics.
The crown procedure typically involves 2–3 visits over 3–4 weeks:
With good oral hygiene—daily brushing and flossing—crowns can last a lifetime and help prevent gum disease.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth, offering both functional and cosmetic benefits. It's made of multiple fused pieces that fill the gap where teeth are missing, helping restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.
Bridges can be made from materials like gold, alloys, or porcelain—porcelain is commonly used for front teeth due to its natural look. The false teeth in a bridge are called pontics, and they’re supported by abutment teeth (adjacent natural teeth) or implants. These are the types of Dental Bridges:
Uses crowns on both sides of the pontic(s) for support.
Ideal for front teeth; uses metal or porcelain "wings" bonded to the backs of neighboring teeth.
Implants replace each missing tooth, with the bridge placed later.
Supported by a crown on only one adjacent tooth when only one side is available.
