FIXED CROWNS & BRIDGES
The clinical crown is the visible portion of the tooth. If you have a very compromised or deteriorated tooth, it will be replaced with a complete crown that covers the entire tooth above the gum margin.
People may need crowns for a variety of reasons. Typically, you have a tooth that is in trouble beyond ‘just a cavity’ if you are at the point where placing a crown is the best option. Here’s a look at the signs you need a dental crown:
- You have a cavity that is too big for a filling.
- A previous filling has been fractured.
- He’s missing a tooth.
- He has a decayed tooth.
- Your tooth has excessive wear due to things like teeth grinding or acid reflux. This is sometimes called a collapsed bite.
- You have a broken or fractured tooth.
- You have a large tooth gap that requires a bridge.
- He recently had a root canal. After a root canal, dental crowns help protect the newly restored tooth.
- You have a misshapen tooth that you would like to correct aesthetically with a long-term solution that also preserves your oral health.
- You have a severely discolored tooth that you would like to correct aesthetically with a long-term solution that also preserves your oral health.
- You have an unfinished dental implant that requires a crown.
Dental bridges
A fixed dental bridge is a type of prosthesis designed to recover dental function and aesthetics. As their name indicates, dental bridges are anchored to two pillars, which can be teeth or implants, and are characterized by having pontic prostheses in the central part.
