What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that fit over your regular teeth. They are designed to match the shape and colour of your natural teeth and are used to cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth. They look great and can help restore function to your teeth so you can chew your food and smile with confidence.

Crowns are often used to add strength to damaged teeth, but they may also cap a tooth where a root canal has taken place or used to cap a dental implant to fill in a missing tooth. The materials used to make a crown range from gold or porcelain that is fused to metal or maybe pure porcelain for strength and aesthetic value.

Porcelain crowns are the most popular patient choice because they can be tailored to match your natural teeth. They are individualised to your teeth’s natural colour and match the shape, too, so only you know you are wearing a crown. Gold and metal crowns are also great options and used by those who desire to save money and by some who prefer the look.

Dr Zina and staff are excellent. The best dentist ever. Highly recommended.

What are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are considered restorative fixtures that consist of two or more crowns. These are used as a support structure to replace a series of missing teeth, but two crowns may also be used to anchor more replacement teeth in between them.

Bridges are permanent fixtures, meaning you can carry on with your normal daily activities including eating and daily tooth brushing without having to remove your dental fixture. Because of this, many patients prefer bridges as a hassle-free way to replace teeth and restore function and their smile.

Benefits of Dental Crowns and Bridges

Both dental crowns and bridges protect teeth and provide support for weak or damaged teeth. The natural-looking structure helps you live normally without worry when it comes to dining out in public. There are many uses for these types of restorative dental solutions including:



Support a tooth weakened from an old dental filling



Restore cracked, fractured and damaged teeth



Restore healthy function to a worn tooth



Added strength for a tooth after root canal



Provides a natural-looking cap for a dental implant



Maintain or restore facial structure due to a missing tooth



Restore a discoloured tooth to fit in with the rest

Along with the benefits of aesthetics and function, crowns and bridges can help restore oral health. That’s because damaged teeth can lead to a host of other issues such as:



Risk for gingivitis or periodontitis



Tooth decay



Pain and infection



Deterioration of jawbone

Why Use Dental Crowns or Bridges

When you come to Northern Dental Design for your oral health care, our experienced team will do a thorough examination and determine the best solution for your individual needs. Many times, crowns or bridges are a good solution for the following reasons:



Low-risk option for tooth replacement



Look and function like your natural teeth



Protect a damaged tooth from infection



Protect cracked teeth from further damage



Long-lasting with proper oral care

Dental crowns are a popular solution for a single missing tooth and dental bridges are often the preferred option to replace a row of missing teeth. They are cost-effective and long-lasting, and when used with dental implants can protect your jawbone and face shape from deterioration, which can quickly cause one to look older than their years.

A dental examination and evaluation with Dr Zina Mahdi can quickly determine if crowns or bridges are the right solutions for you.

Dental Crowns and Bridges – Aftercare

Northern Dental Design Epping Dental Cleaning And Check Up

Dental restorations are designed to be like your natural teeth in look and function and so should be taken care of like your own teeth. You will receive specific instructions to care for your new prosthetics, but there are some general daily care procedures like:

Brush twice daily

Floss according to your dental hygienist’s instructions

Do not smoke

Eat a healthy diet and keeps sugar to a minimum

Avoid too much alcohol

Do not chew on ice or other hard objects

Maintain regular dental checkups and cleanings

Dental restorations will last a long time with regular care, and checkups can help the dentist provide early detection of any dental problems. You can be even more proactive by paying attention and scheduling a visit if you notice any of the following:

r

Discomfort at or near your crown or bridge

r

If the crown or bridge feels loose

r

If your bite feels different or uncomfortable

r

Any other changes that do not feel “right”

Our experienced and skilled staff want to make sure your investment lasts a long time, so keep up your regular checkups.

Are There Risks?

Any dental procedure may come with risks, just like any medical procedure. And because dental crowns and bridges are often used to repair or restore damaged teeth, there is a slight chance these teeth continue to deteriorate in spite of your best efforts. This is why daily oral hygiene is important, as well as regular checkups.

Regular dental visits will help us identify problems early, and regular cleanings allow us to find hidden and trapped bacteria and decay so we can intervene and stop problems before they get bigger.
