Crowns & Bridges

Crowns & Bridges

A crown is a ceramic covering placed on a natural tooth. The reasons why the Srinivasam Dental team may advise a crown are many, and can include any of the following:

  • ➤ The tooth has been damaged extensively due to cavities, and the damage is too large to be treated by a filling.
  • ➤ The tooth has been fractured due to trauma.
  • ➤ The tooth is deeply discoloured and cannot be whitened.
  • ➤ The tooth has had a root canal treatment completed and needs to be protected by a crown.

A bridge is a replacement for a missing tooth, typically gaining support from the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth. A bridge may be indicated in the following situations:

  • ➤ Replacing a pre-existing bridge.
  • ➤ The teeth adjacent to the missing space are damaged and need to be protected. An implant is not possible due to health reasons or other factors.

When Are Crowns & Bridges Needed?

Crowns are advised when a tooth is too damaged to be restored with a simple filling, after root canal treatment, or when a tooth is cracked or severely discolored. Bridges are recommended when one or more teeth are missing and need replacement to restore oral function and appearance.

Types of Crowns & Bridges

Crowns and bridges can be made from different materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal. Porcelain and ceramic options are highly aesthetic and blend well with natural teeth, making them ideal for front teeth. Zirconia crowns are extremely strong and durable, suitable for both front and back teeth.

Benefits of Crowns & Bridges

Crowns and bridges restore proper chewing ability, improve speech clarity, enhance smile aesthetics, and protect weakened teeth. They are durable, long-lasting solutions that significantly improve overall oral health and confidence.
