Porcelain Crown

Porcelain crown imitates a tooth-shaped cap made of porcelain. Its purpose is to restore the shape, size, and strength of a tooth.

The different types of Porcelain Crowns include all-porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), and zirconia crowns, comparing aesthetics, durability, and cost.

Benefits of Porcelain Crowns

Natural Appearance. Tooth-colored material mimics the natural shade and translucency of teeth. Seamless integration with adjacent teeth for a natural-looking smile.

Durability and Strength. High-quality porcelain offers strong and durable restoration. Resistant to staining and chipping with proper care.

Versatility. Suitable for restoring single damaged or discolored teeth. Used in cosmetic smile makeovers to improve overall appearance.

Porcelain Bridge

Fixed dental restoration used to replace missing teeth. Bridge consists of crowns (abutments) and pontics (artificial teeth) to fill the gap.

Benefits of Porcelain Bridge

Functional Restoration. Restores chewing function and speech clarity compromised by missing teeth. Prevents adjacent teeth from shifting and maintains proper bite alignment.

Cosmetic Enhancement. Enhances smile aesthetics by filling gaps and restoring a complete, natural-looking smile. Customizable to match the color, shape, and size of surrounding teeth for seamless integration.

Aftercare and Maintenance

After receiving a dental bridge, proper care and maintenance are essential to ensure its longevity and optimal function. Thorough oral hygiene practices, including brushing and flossing, are crucial. Special attention should be paid to cleaning around the bridge, particularly beneath the pontic, using floss threaders or interdental brushes to remove plaque and food debris. Regular dental check-ups are also important to monitor the condition of the bridge and surrounding tissues.
