Whether you're repairing a single compromised tooth or replacing multiple missing teeth, our advanced material options and meticulous fabrication process ensure optimal clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. --- ## What Are Dental Crowns? A dental crown, often referred to as a "cap," is a custom-made restoration that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth above the gum line. It restores the tooth's original size, shape, strength, and appearance, providing protection and improving function. ### Indications for Dental Crowns: * **Severely Damaged or Decayed Teeth:** When a tooth has extensive decay or a large filling that compromises its structural integrity. * **Post Root Canal Treatment:** To protect a tooth that has become brittle and vulnerable after root canal therapy. * **Cracked or Fractured Teeth:** To hold together parts of a cracked tooth and prevent further damage. * **Worn Teeth:** To restore the natural shape and size of teeth that have been significantly worn down. * **Cosmetic Enhancement:** To improve the appearance of discolored, misshapen, or poorly aligned teeth. * **Anchor for a Dental Bridge:** Crowns are used on adjacent natural teeth to support a dental bridge. --- ## What Are Dental Bridges? A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic appliance used to replace one or more missing teeth. It "bridges" the gap created by missing teeth, typically by attaching to dental crowns placed on the natural teeth (abutments) or dental implants adjacent to the gap. ### Indications for Dental Bridges: * **Replacing Missing Teeth:** To fill the space left by one or more missing teeth. * **Maintaining Facial Structure:** Preventing the collapse of facial tissues that can occur with tooth loss. * **Restoring Chewing and Speaking Ability:** Enabling proper mastication and clear articulation. * **Preventing Tooth Shifting:** Stopping adjacent teeth from drifting into the empty space, which can lead to bite problems and gum disease. * **Improving Smile Aesthetics:** Restoring a complete and natural-looking smile. --- ## Our Advanced Material Options for Crowns & Bridges: We offer a comprehensive range of high-quality materials, each selected for its unique blend of strength, aesthetics, and biocompatibility, allowing for tailored solutions to meet diverse clinical and patient needs. ### 1.
