BRIDGES & CROWNS
Bridges:
-
Traditional bridge: This type of bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) that are held in place by crowns on either side. The crowns are attached to the natural teeth or to dental implants, on either side of the gap created by missing teeth.
-
Cantilever bridge: This type of bridge is similar to a traditional bridge, but it only has crowns on one side. It is typically used when there are only natural teeth on one side of the gap created by missing teeth.
-
Maryland Bridge: This type of bridge consists of a pontic that is held in place by a metal or resin framework. The framework is bonded to the back of the natural teeth on either side of the gap.
Crowns:
-
Porcelain crown: A porcelain crown is a type of dental restoration that is made of ceramic material and is used to cover a damaged tooth. It is often used to protect a tooth that has been weakened by decay or trauma, or to improve the appearance of a tooth that has been discoloured or misshapen.
-
Gold crown: A gold crown is a type of dental restoration that is made of gold or a gold alloy. It is often used in cases where a strong and durable restoration is needed, such as when a tooth has been severely damaged by decay or trauma.
-
Porcelain-fused-to-metal crown: A porcelain-fused-to-metal crown is a type of dental restoration that is made of a metal base with a porcelain layer on top. It combines the strength of a metal crown with the natural appearance of a porcelain crown.
-
Zirconia crown: A zirconia crown is a type of dental restoration that is made of zirconium dioxide, a strong and durable ceramic material. It is often used in cases where a strong and natural-looking restoration is needed, such as when a tooth has been severely damaged by decay or trauma.
