Crowns and bridges

The term for replacing missing or damaged teeth is called restorative dentistry. Its objective is to prevent oral health problems and bring back your beautiful smile.

Why is this method necessary?

– It fills the empty spaces in the mouth and helps the teeth maintain their proper place.
– It contributes to keeping good oral habits.
– You lose your self-confidence, looks, and health if you have missing teeth.

Crowns

It is a tooth-shaped cap that is located over a tooth which is used to establish and preserve your tooth structure. Crowns are formed of a hard, white substance that will maintain the natural look of your teeth.

Bridges

It covers the spaces between missing teeth. Your dental specialist would suggest taking a dental bridge after you lose your tooth. This procedure can help your other teeth from moving out of its place. When the bridge is fixed, it works like your normal or natural teeth.

Dental crowns and bridges are prosthetic devices that are bonded onto the teeth. Crowns are commonly used to cover a damaged tooth thoroughly. They are bonded to the tooth surrounding the space where the tooth once stood.

Bridges and crowns can last a lifetime, however, sometimes they fall out.

You must practice good oral hygiene to assure the survival of the crown or bridge. If dental disease damages the teeth, the bridge may lose its support. At Sandalwood dental clinic we suggest that you maintain the health of your gums and teeth by brushing twice daily and flossing regularly.
