Dental crown and bridge procedures are used to restore damaged or missing teeth to improve their appearance, strength, and function. Dental crowns cover damaged teeth, while bridges replace missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to natural teeth or implants.
Causes :
Reasons for Crowns: Some reasons why a dental crown might be needed include extensive tooth decay or cavities affecting tooth structure, broken teeth from trauma, weakened teeth from large fillings or root canals, and misshapen or discolored teeth affecting smile aesthetics.
Reasons for Bridges: Dental bridges are suggested for those with one or more missing teeth, strong surrounding teeth to support the bridge, and a preference to restore function and appearance without dental implants.
Treatment Procedure
Crown Placement: Examination and Preparation involve the dentist examining the tooth, taking impressions, and preparing it by removing any decay or damaged structure. An impression of the prepared tooth is taken to create a custom-made crown that fits precisely over it.
A temporary crown may be placed while the permanent crown is being made in a dental laboratory. Once ready, the permanent crown is cemented onto the prepared tooth to restore its function and appearance.
For Bridge Placement: Preparation includes preparing the adjacent teeth on both sides of the gap by removing some enamel to accommodate the dental crowns. Impressions are taken to create a custom-made bridge and pontic(s) that fit seamlessly.
A temporary bridge may be placed to protect the exposed teeth and gums while the permanent bridge is being made. Once ready, the permanent bridge is cemented onto the prepared abutment teeth, filling the gap and restoring function and aesthetics.

FAQ
With proper care and maintenance, dental crowns and bridges can last for many years, typically ranging from 5 to 15 years or more. However, their longevity depends on factors such as oral hygiene practices, diet, habits (such as teeth grinding), and the quality of materials used.
The process of getting dental crowns and bridges is generally not painful because local anesthesia is used to numb the area being treated. However, some patients may experience minor discomfort or sensitivity after the procedure, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
To care for dental crowns and bridges, it's essential to practice good oral hygiene habits, including brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Avoid chewing hard or sticky foods that may damage or dislodge the dental restorations.
