What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns, also known as caps, are restorations that cover and protect a damaged tooth. They restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these.

When are Crowns Needed?

To protect a weakened tooth from breaking.
To restore a fractured or severely worn-down tooth.
To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth left.
To hold a dental bridge in place.
To cover a dental implant.
To improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.

Types of Crowns:

Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns: These provide a natural look and are ideal for front teeth.
Metal Crowns: Made from gold or other alloys, these are very durable and ideal for back teeth.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns: These combine the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain.
Zirconia Crowns: Known for their strength and natural appearance.

What are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap (abutment teeth) and a false tooth/teeth (pontics) in between. The pontics are made from materials like porcelain, gold, alloys, or a combination.

When are Bridges Needed?

To restore your smile.
To maintain the shape of your face.
To prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
To restore the ability to chew and speak properly.
To distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth.

Types of Bridges:

Traditional Bridges: The most common type, which involves creating a crown for the tooth or implant on either side of the missing tooth, with a pontic in between.
Cantilever Bridges: Used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth or teeth.
Maryland Bridges (Resin-Bonded Bridges): Made of a metal framework with porcelain fused to metal teeth, they have wings on each side that are bonded to the existing teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridges: Similar to traditional bridges, but they are supported by implants rather than natural teeth.

The Treatment Process

1. Initial Consultation: During your first visit, our dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and determine if crowns or bridges are the right solution for you. X-rays and impressions may be taken to plan your treatment.

2. Tooth Preparation: For crowns, the affected tooth is reshaped to make room for the crown. For bridges, the adjacent teeth (abutments) are prepared. Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom-fit crown or bridge.

3. Temporary Crown/Bridge: While your permanent crown or bridge is being made, a temporary one will be placed to protect your teeth.

4. Fitting the Permanent Crown/Bridge: Once the permanent crown or bridge is ready, it will be checked for fit and color before being permanently cemented into place.

5. Follow-Up: We will schedule follow-up appointments to ensure that your new crown or bridge is functioning properly and that you are comfortable.

Benefits of Crowns and Bridges

Restored Functionality: You can chew and speak more effectively.
Enhanced Appearance: Crowns and bridges are designed to look like your natural teeth.
Improved Oral Health: Filling gaps can prevent remaining teeth from shifting and causing alignment issues.
Durability: With proper care, crowns and bridges can last many years.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are dental crowns used for?

Dental crowns are used to cover and protect a damaged or decayed tooth. They restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can also be placed over a dental implant or used to anchor a dental bridge.

How long do dental crowns last?

The lifespan of a dental crown depends on several factors, including the material used, oral hygiene practices, and the patient’s habits. On average, dental crowns can last between 5 to 15 years or even longer with proper care.

What materials are crowns made from?

Crowns can be made from various materials, each with its own advantages: Porcelain or ceramic: These provide the most natural appearance and are suitable for front teeth. Metal (gold or alloys): Known for their durability, metal crowns are often used for back teeth. Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM): These combine the strength of metal with the aesthetic appeal of porcelain.

How are dental crowns placed?

The process typically involves: Tooth preparation: The dentist reshapes the tooth to make room for the crown. Impression: An impression of the prepared tooth is taken to create a custom-made crown. Temporary crown: A temporary crown is placed while the permanent crown is being fabricated. Permanent crown placement: Once ready, the permanent crown is cemented into place.

With proper care and regular dental check-ups, dental bridges can last 10 years or more. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding habits like teeth grinding can help extend their lifespan.

Are crowns and bridges painful to get?

The procedure itself is not painful as it is performed under local anesthesia to numb the area. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity after the procedure, which usually subsides quickly.

How do I care for dental crowns and bridges?

To maintain the longevity of your crowns and bridges: Practice good oral hygiene: Brush twice a day and floss daily. Avoid chewing hard foods or using your teeth to open packages. Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings.

Can crowns and bridges be replaced if needed?

Yes, if a crown or bridge becomes damaged or worn out over time, it can be replaced. Regular dental visits allow your dentist to monitor the condition of your restorations and recommend replacement when necessary.
