Shan Dental understands that you need to restore your smile with as much care as possible and state-of-the-art dental solutions. At the hands of Dr. Pathak, we have our restorative dentistry services for dental crowns and bridges. These are repair or replacement treatments for teeth to restore proper function as well as aesthetic appeal to your smile.
Each solution is tailored to the dental needs of an individual, ensuring comfort and durability, and very importantly, a natural appearance. Explore crowns and bridges below.
A dental crown is an artificial cap that is made into the shape of the tooth to put on top of a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its size, shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns serve their best on teeth that are weak or broken or those that have undergone root canal treatment. At Shan Dental, Dr. Pathak employs advanced materials and technology to prepare custom crowns that perfectly blend with your natural teeth.
Here are the indications under which dental crowns are usually recommended:
● Severely Decayed Tooth: When a cavity has become so extensive that the tooth no longer has enough structure to hold a filling.
● Broken Teeth: Such crowns are meant to hold the fragments of a fractured tooth together and prevent a further break.
● Post-Root Canal Treatment: To protect and rehabilitate the tooth after a root canal.
● Cosmetic Improvement: To improve the look of oddly shaped, discolored, or worn-down teeth.
● Large Fillings: It gets too big to be effective; a crown will hold around it for support and better protection.
● Natural in Appearance: Our crowns are matched to the color and shape of your natural teeth to ensure that they are as flawless as a tooth crown can be.
● Exceptional Durability: Constructed from high-quality materials like porcelain, ceramics, or metal alloys, crowns are built to provide a lifetime of service.
● Rehabilitative Functionality: This will bring back the strength in your teeth and make it easier for you to chew or bite.
● Perfect Fit: Using Digital impressions, crowns are made to fit over your existing tooth perfectly and comfortably.
● First appointment: Dr. Pathak will assess your tooth’s health and examine your options.
● Tooth Preparation: The damaged tooth will be reshaped so that the crown will fit well, and if necessary, we will take digital impressions or, if needed, 3D imaging in order for it to fit very precisely.
● Temporary Crown: During the time it’s being made at our advanced lab, a temporary crown will be placed.
● Final Fitting: After your custom crown is completed, Dr Pathak will make sure it is fitting properly and looks natural along with your other teeth before cementing it in place.
A dental bridge is a prosthesis which joins the void that results from missing one or more teeth with a false tooth or teeth attached to crowns on either side, connected to the natural teeth. The bridge restores the smile without just doing it; it enables the person to talk and chew without discomfort from self-assurance.
A dental bridge is often used to replace:
● Lost Tooth: A bridge would fill this void if you lost a tooth through decay, injury, or extraction.
● Prevent Teeth from Shifting: It keeps teeth close to the empty space from drifting into the void created by the missing tooth that could lead to their misalignment.
● Re-establish Chewing: When the teeth are missing, it prevents you from chewing normally. A bridge would re-establish such function and comfort in your bite.
● Enhance a Smile: A bridge would result in regaining a full, exquisite smile if one or more teeth are missing.
At Shan Dental, we offer several types of bridges to meet your specific needs:
● Traditional Bridges: These are the most common type and are used when there are healthy teeth on both sides of the gap. The bridge is anchored by crowns on the adjacent teeth.
● Cantilever Bridges: If there’s only one adjacent tooth, a cantilever bridge can be used to fill the gap, with a crown anchoring the bridge to the remaining tooth.
● Maryland Bridges: A more conservative option, Maryland bridges use a metal or porcelain framework that is bonded to the backs of adjacent teeth without the need for crowns.
● Implant-Supported Bridges: For patients who do not have adjacent teeth, an implant-supported bridge is anchored by dental implants, offering a secure and durable solution.
● Restores Missing Teeth: Bridges restore your smile by replacing missing teeth and filling gaps.
● Improves Functionality: They help you eat, speak, and chew more comfortably by restoring the natural bite.
● Natural Appearance: Custom-designed to blend with your natural teeth, our bridges offer an aesthetic, seamless finish.
● Prevents tooth Shifting: By filling in the gaps, bridges prevent surrounding teeth from shifting and causing alignment issues.
● Long-Lasting Results: With proper care, dental bridges can last for many years, providing lasting benefits for both form and function.
● Consultation and Assessment: The doctor will check your teeth and gums and assess how well you qualify for a bridge. In addition, options will be discussed with you.
● Preshape: The adjacent teeth will be prepped for the crowns or abutments so that impressions can be made for a custom-fit bridge during fabrication.
● Temporary Bridge: Temporary bridge placement while permanent restoration is in progress.
● Placement of Final Bridge: After completion of the bridge, Dr. Pathak will fit-check and cement the bridge into place.
● Expert Care: Dr. Pathak’s years and years of knowledge coupled with his fine-tuning would ensure the best use of crowns and bridges.
● Customized Treatment: Every plan is different, thus making every restoration as natural as it could get in feel and look.
● Latest Technology: All the newest things in digital imaging along with CAD/CAM technology is used to ensure the perfect fit, while the results are permanent.
● Quality Materials: Our crowns and bridges are made from durable, aesthetically pleasing materials, thus giving you an effective and yet beautiful smile.
