Dental Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns and bridges at Wellington Point dentist provides you with the opportunity to restore your confident smile and enhance the functionality of your tooth. Our dental crowns and bridges at Wellington Point Dentist can help enhance your smile and overall oral health.
What are crowns and dental bridges?
The dental crown is a cover that is bonded or 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 teeth 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.
Advantages of crowns and dental bridges
The main advantages of our dental crowns and bridges treatments are:
- They improve the appearance, shape, and alignment of the teeth.
- Greater resistance.
- They solve the loss of teeth.
- They protect endodontic teeth that have lost dental tissue.
- They prevent the teeth around the absent tooth from moving.
- Returns the aesthetic, masticatory, and phonetic function of the patient
- High precision thanks to the most advanced technology
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?
This depends on the extent of the damage. Sometimes a small ceramic fracture can be repaired or polished.
If either side of the supporting teeth is damaged, then sometimes bridges can be very difficult to repair. This is the reason why maintaining oral hygiene is very important.
How do you correct the discomfort or pain with dental bridges?
In case of discomfort or pain with a dental bridge, it is advisable to visit your trusted dentist like Wellington Point Dental.
In Wellington Point Dental, our dentists can assess the state of your oral health and recommend a series of indications so that these discomforts disappear.
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 alloy of precious metals – they are often placed on the back teeth for extra strength
Will I Experience Possible Discomfort with Dental Crowns?
After placing the dental crowns, discomfort may appear around the treated tooth.
In case of pain or tenderness around the new crown, it is advisable to go to the Wellington Point Dental to assess the situation, as well as to follow their indications.
