Crown refers to a dental cap that is placed over a teeth to cover its deformities. It conceals cracked, chipped or discolored teeth and provides good shape to it. It is a cosmetic treatment that helps to restore the appearance of the person.
Bridge refers to a dental restoration that helps to replace missing teeth in the mouth. It bridges the gaps in between the teeth aiding in the better appearance of the person. At Uptown Smiles, the dentists provide crowns and bridges after considering their dental condition.
After an initial consultation, the dentist begins the procedure by scraping a small part of the tooth enamel. It is essential for affixing the dental cap over the teeth. The dentist takes the measurements of the teeth using digital imaging systems, which are sent to the laboratory for the fabrication of the crown. In the subsequent appointment, the dentist affixes the crown onto the teeth using dental adhesive and polishes it to provide the color of the natural teeth.
The dentist takes the impression of the teeth using digital imaging systems. It helps shape the bridge's components according to the specific measurements, providing a customized fit for the patient. A small part of the adjacent teeth is scraped for the proper fitting of the bridge on the teeth. The dentists provide a temporary bridge for the patient until the fabrication of the personalized bridge. In the succeeding appointment, it is fixed to the adjacent teeth and cemented in place.
