DENTAL CROWNS
Veneers & Bridges
Dental crowns, veneers, and bridges are effective and reliable solutions in restorative and cosmetic dentistry, each playing distinct roles in enhancing dental function and aesthetics.
Dental crowns, typically made from materials like porcelain, metal, or a combination, completely cover a damaged or weakened tooth. They restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance, providing durability and protection against further damage. Crowns are recommended for teeth with extensive fillings, fractures, or following root canal treatment, offering a long-term solution that seamlessly blends with natural teeth.
Veneers, in contrast, are thin shells usually crafted from porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to improve their appearance. Custom-made to match desired specifications for shape, size, and colour, veneers effectively conceal imperfections such as discoloration, chips, or gaps. This cosmetic enhancement not only transforms smiles but also boosts self-confidence with a natural-looking result.
Dental bridges serve as fixed prosthetic devices to replace one or more missing teeth by spanning the gap between adjacent teeth. They feature artificial teeth (pontics) anchored to crowns placed on neighbouring natural teeth or implants. Bridges restore proper chewing function, maintain facial structure, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting. This stable and permanent solution for tooth replacement improves both oral function and appearance, supporting long-term oral health and well-being.
