CROWNS AND BRIDGES:
The predominant choices of restorative materials for the full coverage crowns & Bridges are :
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal ; Its provide for a strong , durable and esthetic treatment option. One of the key factors for the esthetic and the functional success of this type of crown is ensuring the preparation of the underlying tooth structure provides adequate space for the appropriate thickness of the material selected. Additionally , the artistic skill of the laboratory techno creating the crown will determine its esthetic appeal.
- All-Ceramic ; The predominant material choice for all-ceramic crowns today is either Zirconium oxide. They provide a metal free esthetic option with a number of benefits. By eliminating the need for the supportive metal core , an esthetic all-ceramic crown can be created with a reduced thickness material. This makes them a more favourable treatment choice in areas with limited space. The elimination the metal core allows for light transmission through the porcelain for better optical lifelike properties and a higher level of esthetics.
Achieving a natural looking and realistic smile after tooth loss is possible with dental bridges. Dental bridges are one method used by dentists to fill a gap created by a missing tooth/teeth.
A dental bridge is made up of two dental crowns for tht teeth on either side gap and a false tooth/teeth in between. Natural teeth , dental implants or a combination of natural teeth and dental implants can be used to support the bridge. The dental bridge type you choose will depend on the condition of your smile , your cost goals and the cosmetic results you desire.
DENTAL IMPLANTS
A dental implant is a small anchor made of titanium. It is inserted into the jawbone to take the place of your missing tooth root. After osseointegration, or when the surrounding bone has attached to the implant, a replacement tooth is secured to the top of the implant. The new tooth looks , feels and performs just like your natural teeth.
What are the benefits of dental implants ?
- More healthful and beautiful. When teeth are missing, the surrounding bone begins to shrink. This unhealthy bone loss can make your jaw line recede. Dental implants can help prevent deterioration of the jawbone caused by loss of teeth, so your face retains its natural shape.
- More comfortable. Because dental implants are securely anchored, there is no slipping or movement as there is with dentures. This eliminates some of the key worries of dentures, including poor fit, gum irritation, and pain from exposed nerves.
- More confident. With dental implants, you´ll never need to cover your mouth when laughing, smiling or speaking. You can eat your favourite foods without pain or fear of embarrassment.
- Improved appearance. When teeth are lost, ongoing shrinkage of the jawbone occurs making the face look older. Dental implants can slow or stop this process.
- Protect your remaining natural teeth.
