More about Crowns and Bridges
Crowns and bridges are usually made up of ceramics such as porcelain and metals like gold. Porcelain crowns and bridges is custom made to sync well with the natural color or shade of the existing teeth. Gold fits bill at the rear end of the mouth where the utmost strength is required and appearance is not an issue. The tooth size is reduced so that a crown or a bridge fits over the existing teeth properly. You are likely to feel a certain degree of discomfort after this process. We would recommend that you rinse your mouth regularly with salt water for the speedy recovery of the gums.
An impression of the prepared tooth is taken by a dentist and the dental lab makes the crown or a bridge using the material as per the specifications. A temporary crown or a bridge is fixed over your teeth until the permanent one has been made. The crown or a bridge is then cemented over the prepared tooth. We ensure to make you feel at ease and recommend you the befitting post prosthetic care. The durability of the crowns and bridges varies and proper oral hygiene determines the longevity of the restorations.
