In dentistry, Crowns and Bridges are two restorative techniques that repair damaged or missing teeth. The procedure refers to the restoration of natural teeth that have been damaged, decayed or lost. The benefits of crown & bridge are they restore tooth function and appearance. Crowns and bridges can correct missing teeth, bite dysfunction, and functional or structural problems.

Crowns, also known as caps, are custom made to match over your whole enamel after the cosmetic dentist has organized it. they may be usually created from acrylic or porcelain that has been fused to metal to resist biting strain. Crowns may be utilized in cosmetic dentistry to treat teeth which can be poorly formed, badly decayed, broken, chipped, have had large fillings, or to cowl areas in between tooth.

Crown and Bridges can improve the esthetic appearance of the teeth. These restorations are cemented onto the teeth and are referred to as "fixed" dentistry rather than using a removable appliance or partial denture.

Tooth structure is removed around the damaged tooth to allow space for the porcelain. An impression is then made of the prepared tooth, which our dental laboratory technicians use to custom build your crown. While the technicians are perfecting your crown, you will wear a temporary crown made of acrylic to protect your tooth. The crown is shaped to look and feel natural, then is attached with a special dental cement.

Porcelain fused to metal crowns offer a natural appearance with a better fit than a standard porcelain crown. On the down side they have a metal substructure making it difficult to replicate the translucency of natural teeth. It is possible that a darker line will appear at the edge of the crown, near the gum, as it recedes with age.

Captek is an internally reinforced gold material that exhibits the colour, workability and nobility of pure gold along with the strength and workability of the platinum/ palladium family of cast alloys. Captek is not only strong and stable, but non-oxidizing and non-corrosive as well. This means the gray line along the tissue is eliminated.

The Wol-Ceram ELC (Electro Layering Ceramic) system is a state of the art Electro-layering and CAD/CAM system designed to work with Vita In-Ceram materials that increases accuracy and strength while significantly reducing turn around time. Copings, bridges, implant abutments and implant frames are possible. Because the system works off the original die, it is able to produce an extremely accurate fit and the most precise margins of any CAD/CAM dental system available.

The special advantage of this procedure lies in the extremely accurate Wol-Ceram coping. The original die is dipped in aluminum oxide, spinell, or zirconia and it's coated by the ELC (Electro Layering Ceramic) process. Thus creating an extremely precise internal and marginal fit - in essence, the perfect-Fit teeth, decay and gum disease.

When tooth loss occurs, we may recommend the placement of a bridge. Designed to replace missing teeth and support surrounding teeth, a bridge is a grouping of interconnected crowns. Held in place by two crowns, a bridge can reduce the risk of gum disease, help correct bite issues and even improve speech. If performed by a well-trained cosmetic dentist, bridges are effective and durable and can last an excess of 10 years.
