At RNC Dental, Gurgaon, our dental team provides personalized dental crowns and bridges treatment based on your tooth condition, oral health, aesthetic requirements, and individual needs.

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown, also known as a tooth crown, is a custom-made dental restoration that covers a damaged or weakened tooth. It can restore the tooth’s shape, strength, size, and appearance while providing protection against further damage.

Dental crowns may also be placed over dental implants to replace a missing tooth. Depending on your dental needs, crowns can be made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, or other tooth-colored materials.

 

When Are Dental Crowns Needed?

Your dentist may recommend a dental crown in the following situations:

  • Severely damaged or decayed teeth: A crown can cover and protect a tooth that has lost significant structure due to decay.
  • Broken or fractured teeth: Crowns can restore the shape and function of teeth that are significantly damaged.
  • After root canal treatment: A crown may be recommended after a root canal to strengthen and protect the treated tooth.
  • Worn or weakened teeth: Crowns can restore teeth that have become significantly worn or weakened.
  • Cosmetic concerns: Crowns may improve the shape, size, color, or appearance of certain damaged or irregular teeth.
  • Dental implants: A dental crown can be attached to an implant to replace a missing tooth.

Dental Crown Procedure

Getting a dental crown generally involves the following steps:

1. Dental Examination and Tooth Preparation

Your dentist examines the tooth and surrounding gums to determine whether a crown is suitable. The damaged or decayed portion is treated, and the tooth is carefully prepared to create space for the crown.

2. Dental Impression or Digital Scan

An impression or digital scan of the prepared tooth and surrounding teeth is taken. This helps create a crown that fits properly and matches your bite and smile.

3. Temporary Crown

A temporary crown may be placed to protect the prepared tooth while the permanent crown is being fabricated.

4. Crown Fabrication

The permanent crown is custom-made according to the required size, shape, color, and fit.

5. Final Crown Placement

Once the permanent crown is ready, your dentist checks its fit, shape, bite, and appearance. After any necessary adjustments, the crown is securely placed on the tooth.

 

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth that fill the gap and are supported by natural teeth or dental implants, depending on the type of bridge.

Dental bridges can help restore your ability to chew and speak while also improving the appearance of your smile.

1. Types of Dental Bridges

Traditional bridges are one of the most commonly used types. They use dental crowns placed on the supporting teeth on either side of the missing tooth or teeth.

2. Cantilever Bridges

A cantilever bridge is supported by a tooth on only one side of the missing tooth. It may be considered in selected situations depending on the location and condition of the supporting tooth.

3. Maryland Bridges

Maryland bridges use a framework that is bonded to the back surfaces of the adjacent teeth. They can be suitable for selected cases, particularly when replacing certain front teeth.

4. Implant-Supported Bridges

Implant-supported bridges are supported by dental implants rather than natural teeth. They may be used when multiple adjacent teeth are missing and can provide a stable fixed replacement option.

Dental Bridge Procedure

The dental bridge procedure may involve the following steps:

1. Examination and Preparation

Your dentist examines the missing tooth area and the teeth or implants that will support the bridge. If natural teeth are being used as support, they may be prepared to accommodate the crowns.

2. Impression or Digital Scan

An impression or digital scan is taken to design a bridge that fits comfortably with your existing teeth and bite.

3. Temporary Bridge

A temporary bridge may be placed to protect the prepared teeth and maintain the appearance and function of your smile while the permanent bridge is being made.

4. Bridge Fabrication

The permanent bridge is custom-made according to your dental requirements, including the size, shape, shade, and position of the replacement teeth.

5. Final Placement

Once the bridge is ready, your dentist checks its fit and bite before securely placing it. Any required adjustments are made to ensure comfort and proper function.

Benefits of Dental Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges can provide several benefits, including:

  • Restored tooth function: They can help improve chewing and speaking.
  • Improved smile appearance: They can restore the shape, size, and appearance of damaged or missing teeth.
  • Protection of weakened teeth: Crowns can help protect teeth that have been significantly damaged or weakened.
  • Replacement of missing teeth: Bridges can fill gaps caused by missing teeth.
  • Support for proper tooth alignment: Replacing a missing tooth can help prevent neighboring teeth from shifting into the empty space.
  • Long-lasting restoration: With proper oral hygiene and regular dental care, crowns and bridges can provide long-term restorative solutions.

Aftercare for Dental Crowns and Bridges

Proper care is important for maintaining the health and longevity of your crowns and bridges.

  • Brush your teeth twice a day and maintain good oral hygiene.
  • Clean carefully around the crown or bridge and along the gumline.
  • Use floss or other cleaning aids as recommended by your dentist.
  • Avoid biting very hard objects or foods that may damage the restoration.
  • Visit your dentist regularly for dental check-ups and professional cleaning.
  • Contact your dentist if you notice pain, sensitivity, looseness, damage, or changes in the fit of your crown or bridge.
