What Are Dental Crown and Bridge.
Dental Crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover and protect a damaged, weakened, or heavily filled tooth. They restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance — making it look and function like natural again. Crowns can be made from porcelain, zirconia, metal, or a combination, depending on your needs and aesthetic goals.
Dental Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge consists of an artificial tooth (called a pontic) that is anchored to the natural teeth or dental implants on either side. This helps restore your smile, improve chewing, and prevent nearby teeth from shifting out of place.
Together, crowns and bridges are reliable, long-term solutions to rebuild your smile and maintain good oral health.
When Is a Dental Crown Needed?
The process begins by identifying whether a crown is the best solution for your tooth. Dental crowns are recommended for several reasons, including:
Repairing damaged teeth: Whether caused by injury, grinding, or wear, a crown restores strength and function.
Protecting a tooth after root canal treatment: A crown covers and reinforces the treated tooth, preventing further damage.
Treating severe decay: When a filling isn’t enough to support the tooth, a crown helps rebuild and protect it.
Improving appearance: Crowns can enhance the look of chipped, discoloured, or misshapen teeth for a more even, natural smile.
At this stage, your dentist will carefully examine the affected tooth and surrounding area to plan the best approach — balancing both aesthetics and long-term durability.
Types of Crown and Bridge We Offer
Ceramic
We offer different type of ceramic material to match your need:
E-max – made from lithium disilicate ceramic, known for excellent aesthetics, translucency, and strength. Ideal for front teeth where natural appearance is most important.
Zirconia – highly durable and biocompatible, offering superior strength while maintaining a natural look. Recommended for both front and back teeth.
Porcelain
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) – combines the strength of a metal base with the natural appearance of porcelain on the outside. It offers good durability and aesthetic results, making it a reliable option for both front and back teeth.
Metal Crown and Bridge
Full Metal – exceptionally strong and long-lasting, ideal for back teeth that endure heavy chewing forces. While less aesthetic than tooth-coloured options, full metal crowns offer excellent durability and minimal tooth reduction.
Gold Alloy – known for exceptional durability, biocompatibility, and gentle wear against opposing teeth. Gold crowns resist corrosion and fracture, making them an excellent long-term choice for back teeth where strength and longevity matter most.
