Crowns and Bridges

What is a crown?

The crown of a tooth is that part which is visible in the mouth. An artificial crown completely covers a weak tooth above the gum line and protects it. Crowns are an ideal way to rebuild teeth which have been broken, or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling. The crown fits right over the remaining part of the tooth and will restore the strength of a tooth and giving it the shape and contour of a natural tooth.

When do I need a crown?

To improve the appearance of a tooth. The tooth is weakened by a very large filling. Large discoloured filling and would like to improve the appearance of the tooth. In case you had a root treatment, the tooth requires crown protection. If you have a damaged tooth due to an accident, a crown is an ideal way to restore your tooth.

What materials are used for making a crown?

Crowns are made from various materials depending on the clinical diagnosis and personal preferences. Porcelain bonded to precious metal. Metal-free crowns (pure porcelain) giving them a more natural appearance and biological accepted by the gum. Gold crown (solid precious metal): these are very strong and are mainly used at the back teeth where they can`t be seen.

Dental Bridge

If you are missing one or more teeth, a bridge may be fitted to stop the surrounding teeth from moving out of place and will be anchored by one or more crowns to restore the appearance and function.

Root Canal treatments (Endodontics)

The pulp of the tooth can be destroyed as a result of decay or injury. This will restrict the blood supply to the pulptissue resulting in an infection leading to an abscess and toothache.

If the tooth is not treated, then the infection will spread through the root canal and the tooth may need to be extracted.

Root canal treatment is a time consuming surgery that requires a lot of skill. Complex root canal procedures, such as failed root canal (root canal retreatment) are sometimes referred to an endodontist.
