Crowns & Bridges.
Ceramic
Crowns are used to restore the shape, strength and function of a decyed
tooth.After a tooth has had a Root Canal Treatment, the tooth has
a tendency to fracture. To prevent this, the tooth is reinforced with
a Crown. The most commonly used one is the Ceramic Fused to Metal
crown. The strength comes from the metal, and the natural look which
matches that of the adjacent teeth comes from the Ceramic that is
fused to the metal.The tooth then can be used normallyfor both looks
and for eating.
Ceramic Bridges are used to repalce teeth
that have had to be removed for some unavoidable reason. In those
cases where a tooth that has been previously removed and needs to
be replaced, the commonest, quickest and a very efficient option is
that of a Ceramic Bridge.
In the making of a Ceramic Bridge
the adjacent teeth are used as supports. Just as the name suggests
these ajacent teeth allow us to Bridge the gap betwwen them by replacing
the missing tooth. This is a fixed structure and does not need to
be removed on a daily basis for cleaning.
It matches the natural teeth
so well both in looks and in function, that it becomes a part of the
mouth in totality. A Bridge is so comfortable that after a while the
person forgets that he has a replaced tooth in his mouth. This the
best testimonial that can be given by any patient.
