Benefits of Crowns
Dental crowns are designed to fully cover and protect a weakened, broken, decayed, or worn tooth. They are made to be the tooth’s new outer surface above the gum line, protecting it from further harm.
Some of the benefits that dental crowns offer include:
Strength and protection
Crowns reinforce weakened teeth and help prevent further damage or fracture.
Custom fit
Each crown is sculpted specifically for your tooth, ensuring comfort and durability.
Restored function
A crown allows you to chew and speak comfortably while maintaining normal bite and jaw movements.
Improved appearance
Porcelain crowns closely mimic the translucency and colour of natural teeth, creating a seamless look.
Long‑lasting solution
With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, your crowns can last for many years.
Most dental crowns require two appointments. During your first visit, the tooth is prepared and impressions are taken to create your custom crown. A temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth in the meantime.
At your second appointment, your permanent crown will be fitted and securely bonded into place, restoring the strength, function, and appearance of your smile.
Benefits of Bridges
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by “bridging” the gap between neighbouring teeth. Bridges not only restore your smile but also help maintain the natural shape of your face and bite.
Dental bridges have benefits such as:
Replacement of missing teeth
Bridges restore function and appearance when one or more teeth are missing.
Prevention of tooth movement
Missing teeth can cause adjacent teeth to shift or tilt, leading to discomfort and cleaning difficulties.
Support for oral health
A complete smile is easier to clean, reducing food impaction and related dental concerns.
Improved bite stability
By filling gaps, bridges help reduce stress on remaining teeth and prevent uneven chewing.
Enhanced aesthetics
Bridges are crafted from porcelain, metal, gold, alloys, or a combination of materials to blend naturally with your smile.
Most dental bridges require two appointments. During your first visit, the supporting teeth are prepared, and impressions are taken to create your custom bridge. A temporary bridge will be placed until your permanent restoration is ready.
At your second appointment, the bridge is fitted and securely bonded into place, restoring your smile's appearance and function.
