Crowns And Bridges

Crowns and bridges are common dental restorations used to repair damaged teeth and replace missing ones. They not only enhance the appearance of your smile but also restore functionality and improve oral health.

At Mamta Desai D.D.S. Inc., we are dedicated to providing high-quality dental care to restore and enhance the natural beauty of your smile. Our crowns and bridge services offer effective solutions for damaged or missing teeth, ensuring both functional and aesthetic improvements.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination. They are custom-made to fit your tooth and match the color of your natural teeth.

Advantages:

• Protection: Shields a weakened tooth from further damage.
• Aesthetics: Blends seamlessly with natural teeth.
• Durability: Can last many years with proper care.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by using the surrounding teeth as anchors. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by crowns attached to the adjacent natural teeth (abutments). Bridges can be made from porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination to match your natural teeth.

Advantages:

• Functionality: Restores the ability to chew and speak properly.
• Aesthetics: Provides a natural-looking smile.
• Stability: Fixed in place, offering a more permanent solution compared to removable options.

Process

• Consultation: Your dentist will examine your teeth and discuss the best treatment options for your needs.
• Preparation: For crowns, the damaged tooth is reshaped to fit the crown. For bridges, the adjacent teeth are prepared for crowns.
• Impression: An impression of your teeth is taken to create a custom crown or bridge.
• Temporary Restoration: A temporary crown or bridge is placed while your permanent one is being made.
• Permanent Placement: Once ready, the permanent crown or bridge is cemented in place, restoring your smile.
