Crown, Bridges & Dentures

☛ Crowns, bridges, and dentures are dental prosthetics used to restore the function and appearance of missing or damaged teeth. These treatments help improve oral health and enhance the smile.

1) What are crowns?

☛ Crowns are custom-made caps that cover a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. They are typically made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal.

2) What are bridges?

☛ Bridges are dental prosthetics used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. They help restore the bite and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of position.

3) What are dentures?

☛ Dentures are removable dental appliances that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They can be complete (replacing all teeth) or partial (replacing some teeth) and are custom-made to fit the patient's mouth.

4) What are the benefits of crowns, bridges, and dentures?

☛ These dental prosthetics offer several benefits, including:

Improved appearance: Restoring missing or damaged teeth enhances the smile and facial aesthetics.

Restored function: These prosthetics help restore the ability to chew and speak properly.

Tooth preservation: Crowns protect and strengthen damaged teeth, while bridges and dentures prevent the remaining teeth from shifting.

Enhanced comfort: Custom-made prosthetics ensure a comfortable fit and natural feel.

Boosted confidence: Restoring the smile improves self-esteem and confidence.

5) How do I care for crowns, bridges, and dentures?

☛ Proper care for these dental prosthetics involves maintaining good oral hygiene practices, such as regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. It is also important to follow the dentist's instructions for cleaning and handling dentures to ensure their longevity and functionality.
