Dentures, Crowns & Bridges

Best Dental Crowns  and Bridges in Gurgaon

Dental Crowns are a tooth-shaped cap which is placed on the tooth to restore the shape, size, and appearance of the tooth. It also enhances the strength of the tooth. Whereas, a dental bridge is an artificial prosthesis which caps two teeth on either side in addition to the missing tooth gap.

Crowns and bridges are available in a variety of materials. A metal crown is made from nickel and chromium material and offer good strength and durability. They can also withstand hard chewing and biting forces. The only drawback is that they are visible from a distance hence, suitable only for molars. However, if you have esthetic concerns, porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns are the best option available. Inner portion of the crown is made up of metal and the outer portion of the crown is made of porcelain (tooth colored material), as a result, it has the dual advantage – metal which provides strength and porcelain which matches with the color of the teeth making it look natural. Nevertheless, if you do not want to have metal inserted inside your mouth but want the strength to match metal crowns, then all ceramic crowns are the best option available. Not only is it strong but also blends more naturally with your natural tooth color making it unnoticed. 

The procedure involves cutting the tooth by recontouring the enamel and making space for receiving the crown. The next step involves taking impressions of the preparation and sending it to the lab for fabrication. Shade recording is also done.

A trial visit may be required to check the fit of the crown prior to final insertion. In the final visit, the crown is cemented into position and your bite is assessed.
