Dental Crowns
A high quality dental
crown is like a piece of jewellery requiring meticulous clinical and dental
precision when prepared by a cosmetic dentist. This will enable you to function
in comfort and with confidence over a long period of time.
Dental crowns protect heavily filled tooth
from fracture by preserving the remaining tooth structure. In cosmetic
dentistry porcelain crowns are often used to protect or rebuild damaged or worn
teeth. Porcelain crowns have the aesthetics of porcelain veneers, but are
stronger as they cover all the tooth structure.
There are several
different types of dental crowns in cosmetic dentistry:
·
All
porcelain crowns.
·
Porcelain
bonded to metal crowns.
·
Gold
crowns.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges
are fixed a solution for replacing missing teeth. Dental bridges are placed on
healthy teeth. Only some teeth can be
replaced with bridges. Assessment is the
first step by a cosmetic dentist or a dentist who would be able to recommend the
ideal treatment for you.
If you do not
replace them then your teeth either side of the gap and opposing the gap, may
move. It may be difficult to eat. Your face may sink in the places where your
teeth are missing.
Dental bridges are
a quick, easy option in cosmetic dentistry to replace teeth. They are fixed,
unlike dentures and require good strong teeth to be placed upon. It is a
popular procedure in cosmetic dentistry.
The majority of
dental bridges are made of metal and porcelain.
You don’t see the metal as this is the sub structure and the porcelain
is bonded to this to make them look like real teeth. Sometimes a dental bridge can be made of all
porcelain, but the cosmetic dentist would be able to advise you which one is
good for you.
Dental crowns and
bridges can last you many years. This
depends on your hygiene, diet and the health of your existing teeth. Also whether you clench or grind your teeth. Regular visits with the hygienist (at least
twice a year) and regular check ups with the cosmetic dentist, will ensure many
years of having a perfect smile.
