Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns are custom-made caps placed over damaged teeth to restore their shape, size, and strength. Bridges, on the other hand, are used to fill the gap created by one or more missing teeth. They consist of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap, with a pontic (artificial tooth) in between. Both crowns and bridges can be made from various materials, but zirconia is increasingly popular due to its superior strength and aesthetics.

Types of Crowns

At Platina Dental, we offer different types of crowns to meet the specific needs of our patients:

Zirconia Crowns

• Monolithic Zirconia Crowns: Made from a single block of zirconia, these crowns are highly durable and ideal for molars and premolars.
• Layered Zirconia Crowns: These crowns have a zirconia core with a layer of porcelain, providing a more natural appearance suitable for front teeth.
• Full-Contour Zirconia Crowns: Known for their excellent strength and natural look, these crowns are designed to match the patient’s natural teeth seamlessly.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns

PFM crowns combine the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain. They have a metal base covered with a porcelain layer that mimics the appearance of natural teeth. These crowns are durable and aesthetically pleasing but may show a metal line at the gumline over time.

All-Ceramic Crowns

All-ceramic crowns are made entirely of ceramic material and are known for their superior aesthetic qualities. They are often used for front teeth due to their ability to blend seamlessly with natural teeth. These crowns are metal-free, making them a great option for patients with metal allergies.

Gold Crowns

Gold crowns are made from a gold alloy and are known for their durability and strength. While they are not as aesthetically pleasing as other types of crowns, they are highly resistant to wear and are often used for molars where the appearance is less of a concern.

E-Max Crowns

E-Max crowns are made from lithium disilicate ceramic, known for its strength and aesthetic qualities. These crowns are ideal for both front and back teeth, offering a natural look and excellent durability.

Treatable Cases with Crowns and Bridges

Crowns and bridges can address a wide range of dental issues, including:

• Severely Decayed Teeth: Crowns can restore teeth that are too damaged for fillings. By encapsulating the entire tooth, crowns protect the remaining structure and prevent further decay.
• Broken or Fractured Teeth: A crown can protect and strengthen a tooth after a significant break or fracture. They restore the tooth’s functionality and appearance, allowing you to chew and smile confidently.
• Missing Teeth: Bridges can replace one or more missing teeth, restoring function and appearance. The adjacent teeth are prepared to support the bridge, which fills the gap with a natural-looking prosthetic.
• Root Canal Treatment: Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment often require a crown for protection. The crown helps to reinforce the tooth structure and prevent fracture or re-infection.

Post Care and Instructions

Proper care and maintenance are crucial for the longevity of your crowns and bridges. Dr. Swetha emphasizes, “At Platina Dental, we provide comprehensive post-op care instructions to ensure our patients enjoy long-lasting results. Regular dental check-ups, proper oral hygiene, and avoiding hard foods can significantly extend the life of your crowns and bridges.”

Post-Op Care Tips:

• Oral Hygiene: Brush twice daily with a soft-bristle toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Floss daily to remove plaque from areas where your toothbrush can’t reach.
• Diet: Avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods that can damage your crowns or bridges. Opt for a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support oral health.
• Dental Check-Ups: Regular visits to Platina Dental ensure that your crowns and bridges are in good condition. Professional cleanings and examinations can detect issues early.
• Managing Sensitivity: Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity. Using desensitizing toothpaste can help. If sensitivity persists, consult our team for advice.
