Dental Crown & Dental Bridges
Dental Crown
Dental Crown is:
+ A dental restoration which completely covers the whole natural tooth or dental implant
+ Typically bonded to the tooth or dental implant by dental cement
+ Can be made from metal (gold, silver, palladium or titanium) or be metal free (Zirconium, ceramic)
+ Is used to improve the function or appearance of the teeth
CAD/CAM dentistry is a computer technology used for crown fabrication.
Dental Bridges
Dental Bridges are a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth definitively to adjacent teeth.
Dental bridge(s) can be used in the case of:
+Replacement of a single tooth or more but not a long spanning space
+Splinting of periodontally compromised teeth to improve stability
+If dental implants are not suitable (bone quality, medical history, or expense)
