The Marvel of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns play a significant role in revitalizing damaged teeth. These tooth-shaped caps, typically made of porcelain or ceramic, provide not only strength but also an enhanced appearance. When your existing tooth is chipped, broken, or fractured, a dental crown can come to the rescue. The procedure involves shaping and filling down the tooth to make space for the crown. With the decay removed, the tooth’s structure is fully restored, providing a strong foundation for the crown.
Bridging the Gap with Dental Bridges
For those dealing with one or more missing teeth, dental bridges serve as an effective solution. A bridge consists of artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are fused to crowns on either side. These crowns are then cemented to the natural teeth or implants surrounding the gap. The result is a restored smile, preventing tooth rotation and gum disease caused by gaps left by missing teeth. With porcelain bridges available, you can enjoy a natural look that seamlessly blends with your existing teeth.
A Myriad of Dental Crown Options
Our dental practice offers various types of dental crowns to suit your unique needs:
Gold Crowns
Renowned for their strength and durability, gold crowns are ideal for posterior restorations, particularly for second molars. They provide long-lasting results and are highly resistant to wear and tear. Additionally, less of your natural tooth needs to be removed when opting for gold crowns.
Porcelain Crowns
With an emphasis on aesthetics, porcelain crowns deliver a natural look, matching the shape, size, and color of your existing teeth. These crowns are particularly popular for front teeth restorations, enhancing your smile with beautiful and lifelike results.
Porcelain Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns
With a balance of aesthetics and durability, PFM crowns offer a cost-effective option. The metal structure provides strength, while the porcelain coat ensures a pleasing appearance. However, it’s important to note that the metal may cause a slight grey line at the gum line, affecting the overall aesthetics of some individuals.
Zirconia Crowns
Highly translucent and long-lasting, zirconia crowns deliver exceptional aesthetics with strength and durability. They are resistant to wear and tear, making them an excellent choice for those seeking a beautiful and enduring restoration.
E-MAX (Lithium Disilicate) Crowns
The latest advancement in dental crowns, E-MAX crowns are known for their natural-looking results and impressive strength. These all-ceramic crowns are light and thin, making them a versatile choice for both front and back teeth restorations.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction for Optimal Oral Health
The emergence of wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, can lead to various issues. Often, these teeth need extraction due to impaction, infection, or tooth decay. Early removal of wisdom teeth is crucial to reduce complications and maintain the health of surrounding teeth and gums.
Age for Extraction
People of all ages can have their wisdom teeth removed, but it’s often easier and less complicated when the teeth are still forming.
Before Extraction
Prior to the extraction, a consultation with an oral surgeon is necessary. The surgeon will assess the health of your wisdom teeth and take dental X-rays to determine their exact location. Additionally, they’ll discuss sedation options to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
During Extraction
Wisdom teeth are carefully and gently removed under local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on your specific needs and preferences.
Duration
Typically, wisdom teeth extraction takes about an hour or less, with more complex cases possibly requiring more time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental crowns and bridges?
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are placed over damaged or decayed teeth to restore their shape, size, strength, and appearance. Dental bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) between two dental crowns.
How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
The lifespan of dental crowns and bridges can vary depending on several factors, including oral hygiene practices, biting forces, and the materials used. With proper care, they can last between 10 to 15 years or even longer.
Are dental crowns and bridges noticeable?
Modern dental crowns and bridges are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from your surrounding teeth. They blend seamlessly with your smile, ensuring a natural appearance.
Are dental crown and bridge procedures painful?
The procedures for dental crowns and bridges are typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort during the process. After the anesthesia wears off, you may experience some sensitivity or mild discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long does it take to get dental crowns and bridges?
The process of getting dental crowns and bridges usually involves two separate appointments. During the first visit, the dentist prepares the affected teeth, takes impressions, and places temporary crowns or bridges. The final restoration is then custom-made in a dental laboratory. The second appointment involves the placement of permanent crowns or bridges, which typically takes about an hour.
Are there any dietary restrictions with dental crowns and bridges?
After the placement of dental crowns and bridges, it is advisable to avoid excessively hard or sticky foods that could potentially damage or dislodge the restorations. However, you can continue to enjoy a wide variety of foods once the crowns and bridges have fully bonded to your teeth.
Do dental crowns and bridges require special care?
Dental crowns and bridges require regular oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups. Maintaining good oral health will prolong the longevity of your crowns and bridges. Additionally, avoid habits such as biting on hard objects or using your teeth to open packages to prevent damage.
