Bridges and dental crowns

Due to various accidents, the natural crown of a tooth can break or teeth may be lost entirely. Does this mean that there is nothing that can be done, and we have to live with it? Of course not! In the case of tooth loss or damage to the natural crown, high-quality implants are used, available in ceramic and titanium versions. In the case of a chipped tooth, a great idea may be to place a full ceramic crown on it.

The procedure of fitting crowns for chipped teeth

A tooth can be chipped quite easily. If someone has weak natural teeth, the likelihood of chipping increases. However, such problems can be resolved, allowing you to enjoy a beautiful smile even after significant damage to your natural teeth. In the case of missing teeth, temporary dental crowns can be a great solution, and you can have them placed in our dental clinic. The crown is attached to the remaining part of the tooth that has been chipped or placed on other adjacent teeth that have been prepared for this purpose.

Types of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are dental materials commonly used to restore a natural tooth when it's not possible to use a filling. The placement of permanent crowns is typically done during tooth reconstruction, especially when a patient's natural tooth crown is significantly damaged, such as after root canal treatment or due to another injury. A properly crafted crown, chosen to meet the patient's needs, not only restores the lost tooth functions but also significantly enhances the overall aesthetics of the entire dentition.

What types of dental crowns do we use in our clinic?

Metal Crowns

Metal crowns are durable and cost-effective compared to other types of tooth restorations. However, due to their unnatural appearance and the possibility of allergic reactions, they are rarely used for tooth reconstruction.

Zirconia Crowns

This type of dental crown is also used relatively infrequently. Although zirconia crowns are durable and provide good thermal insulation, they have limited translucency, and their hardness can contribute to the wear of adjacent teeth.

Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns are one of the most preferred choices among clients for prosthetic restorations to reconstruct damaged teeth. They have an exceptionally natural and aesthetic appearance while avoiding darkening of adjacent tissues. When opting for porcelain crowns, it is important to avoid consuming very hard foods.

Dental Crown or Dental Bridge?

If your issue pertains to a damaged natural tooth crown, the best solution is to have a dental crown made.

Each tooth is composed of a root and a crown. The crown is the visible part of the tooth in the oral cavity. A permanent or temporary crown is placed either on a damaged tooth or on an inserted implant. In addition to its health-related functions, a new dental crown also serves aesthetic purposes, improving the appearance and shape of the tooth.

Another method for restoration in the case of damaged teeth is a dental bridge. The purpose of creating dental bridges is to fill the gap caused by one or, at most, three adjacent teeth. The procedure involves placing crowns on the teeth closest to the missing tooth or teeth. These teeth then serve as the pillars of the bridge. The bridge's span consists of a crown or crowns placed in the gap above the gum line.

A dental crown can be likened to a kind of cover that is placed on a tooth or implant. In the case of a natural tooth, it needs to be shaped to ensure that the crown does not differ from the appearance of the tooth and fits into the gap between the teeth. The crown is cemented permanently in place.

Procedure for Placing Dental Crowns

With today's technological advancements in prosthetic dentistry, we can meticulously plan treatment using 3D design and visualization. We start by taking images of your oral cavity and then, with the help of specialized software, we perform a virtual procedure. This allows us not only to plan in detail all the steps we will take during the actual procedure but also to design the final porcelain crown or bridge with precision down to 1 micron.
