DENTAL CROWNS & BRIDGES IN MUMBAI

Missing and damaged teeth are unattractive and cause problems in chewing food and speaking. At Signature Smiles, we can help you replace missing teeth in many ways; dental crowns and bridges are among them.

Dental Crowns, also called caps, are dental restorations placed over a tooth to cover or encircle a tooth completely, to improve its strength and appearance.

A dental crown is a cap that covers the damaged tooth. It protects, covers and restores the shape of your teeth. Crowns are generally made of metal, porcelain, resin or ceramics. Whether it is the front teeth or the back, a non-differentiable transition is what you should aim for, for a seamless smile. Several factors determine the type of crown; they are:

• Price
• Strength
• Durability

Dental Bridge covers or bridges the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It takes support from existing teeth or implants to replace a section of missing teeth. A dental bridge helps to prevent the remaining teeth from moving out of place. Once the bridge is placed, it works just like your natural teeth. It helps with chewing, speaking, and maintaining the shape of your face. It is durable and strong because it is anchored to your teeth.

At Signature Smiles, crowns and bridges are made using the latest CAD/CAM (Computerized) technology from the best materials of world-class quality like Zirconia, e. max, Lava, Bruxzir, Tilite, Ultra T and Porcelain fused to metal (PFM).

Crowns and Bridges are custom-made and aesthetically pleasing to blend in with your natural teeth.

A dental bridge is one option for replacing one or more lost teeth. Bridges, as their name suggests, “bridge,” the space left between two teeth after one was knocked out or pulled. This space was produced when the tooth in question was lost. A bridge is a type of fixed partial denture. This means that it is attached to the teeth, replaces parts of the teeth, and employs a synthetic tooth or teeth (denture) in the space where there should be natural teeth.

When the patient goes in for the initial appointment, the dentist will remove a little bit of the tooth, the chipped or cracked portions, so the crown or bridge may be placed over it. To properly place a dental bridge, the teeth on each side of the space that needs to be filled will need to be prepared.

The next step is for the dentist to make an impression on the tooth or teeth. Temporary dental cement will be applied to them to cover and safeguard the teeth in the interim period between the first and second appointments.

At the second appointment, the patient will return to have the crown or bridge permanently affixed to their teeth. Dentists will use a bonding adhesive when inserting crowns and fixed bridges, they use clips for placing removable bridges.

Crowns are permanently cemented onto your tooth, which means that once the procedure is finished, you can continue to chew, brush, and floss normally!

When you brush a bridge, you should act like there isn’t even a bridge. Flossing, on the other hand, takes on a rather different character when you have a bridge. It is advisable to use a floss threader since it can reach between the teeth cleaning and under the pontic, which is the replacement tooth.

Even though you are confused about dental crowns and bridges, they can last a lifetime; sometimes, they become loose or even dislodge entirely. You can guarantee you get the most out of your crown or bridge by brushing and flossing daily, visiting the dentist consistently, and avoiding hard foods.

You can get the crown fixed in a day’s appointment. This is possible using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM).

Some crowns only cover a part of the tooth. If you don’t need a full crown, your dentist might advise an Onlay or 3/4 crown.

A crown can even look like a natural tooth when placed over a dental implant and properly cared for.

Consult our dentists to find out if an implant-supported or conventional bridge is a good option for you. We offer a variety of options to replace missing teeth. The cost of dental crowns depends on the expertise of the specialist, the material used, condition and location of the tooth that will receive the crown.
