Trauma, tooth decay and gradual wear are all contributing factors to the deterioration of tooth health.
If you have damaged or missing teeth, the dental crown procedure or bridges may be the most suitable treatment options for you.
Advantages of replacing missing teeth include:
- Improved appearance
- Improved function (chewing and speech)
- Prevent teeth moving
- Prevent damaging stress to the surrounding teeth.
Crowns
Ceramic crowns from Brite Dental are strong, long-lasting, and look great. Made from a detailed impression mould, they are colour-matched, making them virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth. A crown can successfully restore strength and function while aesthetically enhancing your smile by fitting precisely over a tooth.
The dental crown procedure is often recommended for a single tooth that has weakened due to root canal therapy or severe decay. For those searching for dental crowns , or a dental crown specialist in Panania, Brite Dental provides expert care and personalised treatment options.
Bridges
A dental bridge consists of several false teeth joined together and secured by crowns placed on healthy natural teeth on either side of the gap.
Like a crown, a bridge is custom-made in a laboratory from detailed template moulds. At this stage, the right shade for your bridge is determined, so that it matches your natural surrounding teeth. Often a temporary bridge will be placed while your permanent bridge is being fabricated.
At your second appointment, your temporary bridge – if one was placed – will be removed and the permanent one assessed for fit and comfort and bite before it is secured in place with a specially formulated bonding agent.
Care of your crown and bridge
It is essential to care for your crown and bridge as much as your natural teeth. Although they are made from an artificial material, the health of your surrounding teeth and gums will affect the longevity of your restorations.
With the correct care, good oral hygiene and scheduling check-up appointments every six months with the Bright Dental team, crowns and bridges can last 10-15 years.
