Crowns & Bridges

Protect your teeth and enhance your smile with crowns & bridges.

A dental crown is like a cap that is used to cover up the tooth that is replaced or implanted due to decay or any other reason.

Besides providing a protecting covering to the tooth and strengthening it, the crown also aligns the structure and enhances the smile. Crown made of porcelain or ceramic are more preferred as colors of both the materials are similar to teeth. Dentists at The Dental Method advise the crown in the following certain cases:

When there is a need to cover up a large filling

When there a need to provide protection to the teeth against tooth decay

When there is a need to avoid tooth cracking, chipping and breakage

When there is need to heal a tooth fracture

When there is a need to provide a protective covering to dental implant

When there is a need to hide a misshaped tooth

A bridge is applied when one or more teeth is missing from the structure.

Due to this missing, oral hygiene is compromised and is left prone to different gum and oral diseases. Bridges replace the missing tooth/teeth and fill up all the empty space by binding tightly with the surrounding teeth.

Before the surgery carried out to place crown or bridge, the teeth are shrunk to an appropriate size. At The Dental Method, our dentists first place temporary crown or bridge for a few days before placing the permanent prosthetic device. Both crowns and bridges can last long if proper oral hygiene is maintained and precautions advised by our dentists are followed.
