What are crowns and dental bridges?
On the one hand, the dental crown is a cover that is cemented on the damaged tooth or the implant, completely covering a destroyed tooth. Thus, it improves both its aesthetics and its chewing.
On the other hand, the dental bridge is a structure composed of joined crowns that are placed between two dental pieces to replace one or more missing teeth. In this treatment, the end teeth are carved to support the bridge.
Both dental prostheses require the collaboration and commitment of the patient to carry out proper maintenance.

What types of dental bridges do we work at Wellington Point Dental
Bridges on teeth: this type of bridge is supported on the patient’s natural teeth, which must be previously carved.
Bridges over implant: this treatment consists of placing the bridge over implants that have been previously inserted.
How do temporary dental bridges work?
Can dental bridges be repaired?
The Wellington dentists told that only small fragments of ceramics from cemented dental bridges could be repaired in the mouth.
As they are cemented, when trying to remove them, the abutment teeth that have already been carved could be fractured. Therefore, Wellington Point Dental clinic dentists do not recommend this procedure.
On the other hand, dental bridges screwed on implants can redo all the ceramics. To do this, it must be removed from the patient’s mouth and sent to the laboratory so that it can be fixed. In case the damage cannot be fixed, a new one will be manufactured.
How do you correct the discomfort or pain with dental bridges?
In Wellington Point Dental, our specialists can assess the state of your oral health and recommend a series of indications so that these discomforts disappear.
How are crowns different from dental bridges?
The dental crown is a type of fixed unit prosthesis that is placed to cover a damaged or lost tooth completely. While the dental bridge is a fixed structure made up of crowns that replace the absence of one or more dental pieces that have been lost.
What types of dental crowns exist at Wellington Point Dental
There are five types of dental crowns :
Ceramic dental crown: this type of dental crown is characterised by its naturalness, although it is less resistant than metal-porcelain.
Zirconium dental crown: CAD-CAM technology is used to place this type of dental crown, achieving a precise adjustment.
Metal-ceramic dental crown: it is formed by a metal cap that completely covers the tooth stump. It sits and fits on it exactly, serving as a rigid structure to support the porcelain.
Metal dental crown: it is made of metal, so they are the most resistant to wear. However, they are nothing aesthetic.
Resin dental crown: those that are used while the final crowns are made.
Will I Experience Possible Discomfort with Dental Crowns?
