At Total Care Dental Surgery, we understand that everyone wants to have a good-looking smile, it should be possible to laugh, speak and chew without being uncomfortable. Your routine life gets affected if your teeth are missing or damaged, so the tooth crown and tooth bridge treatment let you restore your mouth to its normal function.
If you believe that your teeth seem greyish or darker in color, we may think of covering them up with veneers. If there is a massive loss of tooth structure, a dental crown is more suitable to cover the tooth. If you experience sensitivity when you chew, your teeth may have little cracks which can be converted into full tooth fracture.
We advise you to restore the tooth using a dental crown to make the tooth strong and preventing it from collapsing.
Bridges may be suggested particularly to replace multiple missing teeth; this is because the gap left by a missing tooth in your mouth causes the remaining teeth to shift into the empty space, leading to a bad bite. The imbalance resulting from missing teeth can also create gum disease.
There are many kinds of crowns available including Stainless Steel, Metal Crowns, Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns, Ceramic Dental Crowns & Porcelain Crowns. Every material has a different potency and each of them has its suitable applications.
Several factors are considered that affect the price of crowns and bridges like the type of material, the number of teeth, and if the teeth to be restored need extra treatment. Naturally, a gold crown is more expensive than an All-Porcelain crown. Moreover, a combination of a porcelain-fused-to-metal crown is less expensive, but it is less aesthetic in look.
The degree of pain experienced after applying crown and bridge depends on the range of procedures conducted. We generally advise the use of over-the-counter medications to cope with any pain. However, we sometimes provide prescriptions for pain management. Rest and relaxation are recommended following a dental surgery, and the majority of patients can initiate their normal activities within 48 hours.
Getting a much-required crown or bridge feels great. It can reduce pain, and aid to chew food or talk to others. Our team of oral health specialists is set to talk with you regarding all the phases of your crown or bridge placement. It’s our objective to assist every patient in giving reconstructive dental care.
