What Are Dental Crowns:


  • Dental crowns are a prosthetic covering that are modified according to the shape or morphology of the tooth and then prepared to fit exactly according to the requirement.

 

What Are Dental Bridges :


 

  • Dental bridges are the prosthesis that overcomes the problem of missing teeth.
  • Dental bridges can replace a single missing tooth or more than one missing teeth.
  • After the bridge is placed the teeth can function normally.

 

HOW TO KNOW WHEN A DENTAL CROWN IS NEEDED?


 

  • Dental crowns are the prosthesis that covers a single tooth.
  • When a patient comes with caries, in order to remove the caries, the dentist has to remove the tooth portion that is infected by the caries as well.
  • When the tooth structure is less, the tooth gets weak and so a protection is required on the weak tooth in order to stop the further damage.
  • In such cases, dental crowns are placed on the weak and treated tooth structure to cover it and protect it from numerous factors.
  • Apart from caries, if a patient suffers from constant teeth sensitivity then also the dental cap or crown is required to cover the tooth and treat dental sensitivity.
  • Dental crown is also placed for aesthetic purpose as well.

 

HOW TO KNOW WHEN A DENTAL BRIDGE IS NEEDED?


 

  • Main reason for placing a dental bridge is when a person has more than one missing teeth.
  • They can replace the missing space and avoid the unwanted movement of the adjacent teeth.
  • Loss of teeth can cause difficulty in chewing, might cause pain and might even cause unappealing aesthetics.
  • They avoid the tilting and drifting of the adjacent teeth and provides long term protection from overall dental problems that might occur due to loss of the teeth.

DENTAL BRIDGES

 

  • Dental bridges can bring back the smile.

  • Types of Dental Bridges:
    • TRADITIONAL DENTAL BRIDGES: They are the most used kind of dental bridges. They are routinely used. To prepare the traditional dental bridge we need to prepare the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth space so that we can form an entire bridge with the support of the adjacent teeth and cement it. It provides all the basic function that a bridge is required to provide.
    • CENTILEVER DENTAL BRIDGE: These kinds of dental bridges are prepared when a single adjacent tooth is present besides the missing tooth space. Just a single tooth preparation is don’t for such dental bridges. The adjacent tooth should be periodontically healthy.
    • MARYLAND DENTAL: They are kind of similar to the traditional dental bridges just they don’t possess dental crowns in their bridge, they use a framework of either metal or porcelain, which is attached to the adjacent tooth. No tooth preparation is required in Maryland dental bridges as the framework provides all the support and stability for the pontic at the missing tooth space.
    • IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTAL BRIDGE: They are the type of dental bridges that are very stable and firm and provides all the support as needed. An implant is placed at the missing tooth space and if that isn’t possible then a pontic is made between the two implant and then a continuous bridge is formed.
