Crown and Bridges

At Dazzle Dental Clinic, our prosthodontists restore damaged and missing teeth with crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays made in our in-house digital laboratory.

Understanding Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their shape, size, strength, and appearance. They are an ideal solution in several situations, such as:

• Restoring Badly Worn Teeth: Crowns can rejuvenate teeth that have been worn down over time due to grinding or acidic erosion.
• Repairing Broken Teeth: A crown provides the necessary reinforcement to prevent further damage to broken or cracked teeth.
• Filling Large Cavities: When a cavity is too large for a filling, a crown can provide a durable and lasting solution.
• Completing Root Canal Treatment: After a root canal, a crown is often placed to protect the tooth and restore its function.
• Finalizing Dental Implant Procedures: Crowns serve as the final step in implant procedures, providing a natural-looking and functional replacement tooth.

Types of Metal-free Crowns

1. Ceramic Crowns:
   • Made from high-quality porcelain.
   • Ideal for restoring front teeth due to their natural appearance.
   • Biocompatible and blend in with natural teeth.
2. Zirconia Crowns:
   • Known for their exceptional strength and durability.
   • Suitable for both front and back teeth.
   • Biocompatible and highly resistant to wear and fracture.
3. E.max Crowns:
   • Made from lithium disilicate ceramic.

Understanding Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants. They restore both function and aesthetics, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile confidently.

Types of Bridges

1. Traditional Bridges:
   • Consist of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by crowns on adjacent natural teeth.
   • Suitable for replacing one or more missing teeth.
2. Cantilever Bridges:
   • Similar to traditional bridges but only anchored on one side.
   • Ideal for areas with adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth.
3. Maryland Bridges:
   • Use a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth.
   • Less invasive as they don't require crowns on adjacent teeth.
4. Implant-Supported Bridges:
   • Anchored to dental implants rather than natural teeth.
   • Provide a secure and durable solution for multiple missing teeth.

Inlays and Onlays

• Inlays:
  • Used to fill cavities within the cusps of the teeth.
  • Made from porcelain, gold, or composite materials.
  • Provide a more durable solution compared to traditional fillings.
• Onlays:
  • Cover one or more cusps or the entire biting surface of the tooth.
  • Ideal for larger cavities or damage that extends to the cusps.
  • Often referred to as partial crowns due to their extensive coverage.
