Crown
A dental crown is a cap placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are typically used when a tooth is weakened by decay, fractured, or after a root canal treatment. They cover the entire visible portion of a tooth above the gum line, protecting it and restoring its functionality. Crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including metal, porcelain, ceramic, and zirconia, depending on the patient's needs and the location of the tooth.
Zirconia Crown
A zirconia crown is a type of ceramic crown known for its exceptional strength and durability. Made from zirconium dioxide, a type of metal oxide, zirconia crowns are highly resistant to chipping and cracking, making them ideal for back teeth that endure more chewing pressure. They also have a natural, tooth-like appearance, and because zirconia is biocompatible, it reduces the risk of allergic reactions or irritation, ensuring comfort for the patient.
Ceramic Crown
Ceramic crowns, often made of porcelain, are a popular choice for their aesthetic appeal. They mimic the natural look of teeth, making them ideal for front teeth restorations. Ceramic crowns are durable and provide a good balance of strength and appearance. They are stain-resistant and blend seamlessly with surrounding natural teeth, making them a preferred choice for patients who prioritize a natural look.
Bridge
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants. Bridges fill the gap created by missing teeth, restoring a patient’s ability to chew, speak, and maintain facial structure. They help prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position, providing stability and an improved aesthetic appearance. Bridges can be made from various materials like porcelain, ceramic, and metal, ensuring durability and a natural look.
