Crowns And Bridges

A crown or cap, as it is called is a cover over the natural tooth which resembles the real tooth in shape, size and color. We advise a crown after the root canal treatment as the tooth becomes brittle after RCT and may fracture while chewing or biting.

For this procedure the tooth is reduced in size and a measurement is taken using an impression material. These measures are then sent to a dental lab and the crown is fabricated over it.

After the crown is made it is cemented on the said tooth.

A bridge is made to replace one or more missing teeth. In this procedure, the teeth in front and behind the missing teeth are taken as support and crowns are made over them. We thoroughly evaluate these supporting teeth which may also require a root canal treatment. Between the crowns, missing teeth are then joint.

The bridge is also fabricated in a dental lab. The crowns and bridges are then cemented over natural teeth using a dental cement.

There are different materials which can be used to make the crowns/bridges and we give you a wide range to choose depending on aesthetic and financial fulfilments.
