Dental Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges are among the most common restorative dental treatments that are used to restore damaged or missing teeth. Crowns are used to cover or cap damaged or decayed teeth, while bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth.
Both crowns and bridges are typically made of materials like zirconia, metal ceramic, or metal, and are designed to look and feel like natural teeth.

At Laxmi Dental Care, we offer a wide range of dental crown and bridge options that can be customized to meet the unique needs of each patient.
Our experienced team of dental professionals uses the latest techniques and technologies to ensure that each crown or bridge is made to the highest standards of quality and precision.

Types of dental crowns and bridges

There are several types of dental crowns and bridges available, including:

Porcelain crowns and bridges: These are the most common type of crowns and bridges and are designed to look and feel like natural teeth.

Ceramic crowns and bridges: These are similar to porcelain crowns and bridges but are made of a different type of ceramic material that is more durable.

Metal ceramic crowns and bridges: These are commonly used crowns and bridges but are not as aesthetically pleasing as porcelain or ceramic crowns and bridges.

Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns and bridges: These are a combination of porcelain and metal, and offer a balance between durability and aesthetics.

We also do crowns like DMLS, E-Max, Bruxzir, Zirconia etc.

How are dental crowns and bridges made?

Dental crowns and bridges are typically made in a dental laboratory, using impressions of the patient’s teeth.
The dentist will take an impression of the damaged or missing tooth, which is used to create a mould of the tooth.
This mould is then sent to the dental laboratory, where the crown or bridge is created.

The process of making a crown or bridge typically takes two to three days.
Once the crown or bridge is ready, the dentist will check the fit and color, and make any necessary adjustments before permanently fixing it.

MYTHS ABOUT DENTAL CROWNS:

Myth #1: Dental crowns are only used for cosmetic purposes.

Reality: While dental crowns can improve the appearance of teeth, they are primarily used to restore and protect damaged teeth.
Dental crowns are often recommended by dentists to treat a range of dental problems, including tooth decay, broken teeth, cracked teeth, and after root canal treatment.

Myth #2: Dental crowns are painful.

Reality: Dental crown procedures are typically painless, as they are performed under local anesthesia.
However, patients may experience some mild discomfort after the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.

Myth #3: Dental crowns are noticeable and unattractive.

Reality: Dental crowns are designed to match the color and shape of the surrounding teeth, ensuring that they blend in seamlessly with the rest of the mouth.
Today’s dental crowns are made from high-quality materials that mimic the natural appearance of teeth, such as porcelain or ceramic.

How long do dental crowns and bridges last?

The lifespan of a dental crown or bridge depends on a variety of factors, including the material used, the patient’s oral hygiene habits, and the amount of wear and tear on the crown or bridge.
With proper care, dental crowns and bridges can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or more.
