What is the process of a Dental Crowns?

Your dental crown procedure most likely requires one or two visits to the dentist or prosthodontist.

• During your first visit, our dentist or prosthodontist will shape and remove a layer of the outer surface of your tooth. They will administer a local anesthetic to reduce your pain and suffering.
• Next, we will create a model of the tooth’s shape. This can be done with an impression pressed into a mold or a digital scanner.
• Our technician might make a crown that fits your teeth using the data in the lab. Additionally, the lab can match the crown’s color to the color of your other teeth.
• Our dentist or prosthodontist will replace your fractured tooth with a temporary one if the crown is being produced in a lab. Making your crown could take two to three weeks.
• You will return for your second appointment once your permanent crown is prepared.
• The crown will be fitted by our dentist or prosthodontist using dental cement or glue.
• When a filling is not an option, dental crowns are used to cover a fractured or diseased tooth.

What is the process of a Dental Bridge?

The dental bridge procedure begins with the appointment; the following steps are explained in detail:

First Appointment: Teeth Preparation and Temporary Bridge Placement

The abutment teeth must first be filed into the correct shape before the bridge can be placed. After that, the formed teeth are imprinted and transported to the dental lab so that the bridge may be built. For aesthetic reasons, we obtain a color sample to ensure the prosthesis closely resembles the surrounding natural teeth in terms of hue.

Second Appointment: Permanent Bridge Installation

We will permanently bridge your teeth on the second appointment. This process begins as soon as the special appliance is manufactured and prepared for use. We extract the temporary teeth and, if required, clean the teeth underneath before putting the permanent dental bridge in place. After that, the permanent bridge is successfully put in place.

Conclusion: For the purpose of making sure the patient is aware of what to anticipate and knows how to take care of their new dental bridge, aftercare and follow-up are crucial during the treatment. Because of this, our dentists take the time to go over the specifics of the dental bridge, such as the required oral hygiene and when to consult a dentist. A dental bridge frequently lasts more than ten years with proper care.
