Dental Crowns and Bridges Ahmedabad

Crown

A crown is a type of dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. Crowns are often needed when a large cavity threatens the ongoing health of a tooth. They are typically bonded to the tooth using a dental cement. Crowns can be made from many materials, which are usually fabricated using indirect methods. Crowns are often used to improve the strength or appearance of teeth.

Bridge

A bridge is a fixed dental restoration (a fixed dental prosthesis) used to replace a missing tooth (or several teeth) by joining an artificial tooth permanently to adjacent teeth or dental implants. A bridge is fabricated by reducing the teeth on either side of the missing tooth or teeth by a preparation pattern determined by the location of the teeth and by the material from which the bridge is fabricated. Dentalign Care offers top-quality dental crowns and bridge treatments at affordable rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are a Dental Crown and a Dental Bridge?

A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged, decayed, or discoloured tooth to make it look and work like a natural tooth. A Dental Bridge is a bridge that is used to fill in the missing teeth. It connects two or more crowns on the nearby teeth to hold the damaged tooth in place.

2. How long do Dental Crowns or Bridges last?

Crowns and bridges can last 5 to 15 years or even longer if you take care of them properly. Their life depends on the material used and how well you maintain your oral hygiene.

3. Is a Dental Bridge painful?

No, it’s not painful. Your dentist will use local anaesthesia to numb the area so you won’t feel pain during the treatment. You may have a little discomfort or sensitivity for a few days after surgery, which is normal.

4. How do I take care of my Dental Bridge?

Here are some simple ways to keep your bridge healthy and lasting longer, like:

• Brush twice a day and floss daily.
• Wash your mouth with mouthwash.
• Eat a healthy meal and avoid hard or sticky foods.
• Visit your dentist regularly for dental checkups and cleanings.
