What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown, often called a tooth cap, is a custom-made covering placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance.

Dental crowns are commonly used in cases such as:

• Teeth weakened by large cavities
• Fractured or broken teeth
• Teeth after root canal treatment
• Severely worn teeth
• Teeth requiring structural reinforcement

Crowns help protect the natural tooth while restoring normal chewing function.

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by placing crowns on the natural teeth adjacent to the gap and supporting an artificial tooth between them.

Dental bridges help restore:

• Missing teeth and smile aesthetics
• Normal chewing and speaking ability
• Proper bite alignment
• Stability of surrounding teeth

Replacing missing teeth with bridges prevents nearby teeth from shifting into the empty space.

Missing Teeth Replacement with Dental Bridges

When a tooth is lost, the surrounding teeth may gradually move into the empty space, causing bite problems and alignment issues.

Dental bridges are an effective solution for missing teeth replacement because they:

✔ Restore chewing ability
✔ Prevent shifting of nearby teeth
✔ Maintain facial structure
✔ Improve smile appearance
✔ Provide a stable and fixed tooth replacement

Replacing missing teeth early helps maintain long-term oral health and bite balance.

Types of Dental Crowns

At Neo Smile Orthodontic and Dental Clinic, different types of crowns may be recommended depending on the condition of the tooth.

Ceramic Crowns

Tooth-colored crowns that blend naturally with surrounding teeth, often used for front teeth.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns

These crowns combine metal strength with a natural-looking porcelain surface.

Zirconia Crowns

Strong and highly aesthetic crowns known for their durability and natural appearance.

Dental Crown & Bridge Treatment Process

1. Dental Examination

The dentist evaluates the tooth or missing tooth area and may take dental X-rays.

2. Tooth Preparation

The supporting teeth are reshaped to accommodate the crown or bridge.

3. Dental Impression or Digital Scan

A precise impression is taken to fabricate a custom crown or bridge.

4. Temporary Restoration

A temporary crown or bridge may be placed while the final restoration is prepared.

5. Final Placement

The permanent crown or bridge is placed and adjusted to ensure proper fit and bite.

✔ Restore damaged teeth
✔ Replace missing teeth
✔ Improve chewing and speaking ability
