A dental crown, commonly known as a cap, is a hollow artificial tooth that is used in place of a broken or damaged tooth. It is mostly made up of Porcelain, Ceramic or Metal (e.g. Gold). It functions as a protective cover against further damage or decay of the tooth. Tooth Crown Calgary looks very much like the natural tooth in terms of shape and color.
Dental Crown is done by a dentist by following a series of steps. These steps are as follows:
Depending upon the type of teeth that needs to be crowned, the dentists recommended various materials for the crown.
Metal crowns are made up of gold and are resistant to wear and chipping. Also, they don’t form an impact on the neighboring and opposing natural teeth. But these types of crowns don’t look natural because of their color.
Zirconia crowns are similar in color to the natural tooth and are a stronger material for fabricating a dental crown.
Composite crowns are natural-looking crowns and do not chip quickly. However, they tend to wear rapidly because of the chewing process.
Porcelain crowns are the most natural-looking crowns. However, they chip easily, and therefore, they are not used for the backside of the mouth.
Porcelain-fused-metal tooth crowns in Calgary are also natural-looking.
Bridges, also known as fixed bridges or prostheses, are permanent dental restorations that are used to replace missing teeth. It is made up of an artificial tooth that is fused with the neighboring crowns.
Dental Bridge is prepared by two methods. The first method involves replacing a missing tooth between two natural teeth. The adjacent natural teeth are used to support the bridge in this case. But if there is no neighboring tooth to support the bridge, a dental implant is placed for holding the bridge in place. The dental implants are artificial roots made from titanium metal that is fixed inside the jawbone and support the bridge.
Firstly, the dentist files down the neighboring teeth to make prepare space for the bridge. Secondly, the dentist creates a model of an artificial tooth that fits well inside your mouth. Then this model helps to build the bridge. In the meantime, the dentist places a temporary bridge to inhibit further damage to the exposed tooth. On the next visit, the dentist removes the temporary bridge and places the final one. Finally, the bridge is either cemented or fixed to the dental implants on both sides of the missing tooth.
Bridges come in different types like metal and ceramic. But it’s always wise to consult your dentist about the best kind of bridge for you. The dentists choose the most suitable type of bridge depending upon the position of the missing tooth and the severity of the damage. Types of bridges are:
It is important to take good care of the bridges in order to maintain a longer life. Usually, if properly taken care of, bridges last for at least ten years. Brushing and flossing your bridges regularly helps to take care of them. Also, you can learn how to floss your teeth from your dentist. In addition, professional cleaning from the dental clinic Calgary is also beneficial for bridges.
