On Day 1, the dentist conducts a clinical assessment and any necessary x-rays, including a 3D CBCT scan for planning. The virtual implant positioning is shown to the patient, and treatment options, costs, and techniques are discussed.
Days 2 and 3 focus on creating the metal framework for the prosthesis, with the patient approving the size, shape, and shade of the teeth before sending it to the lab.
On Days 4 and 5, the implant component is assembled, and the prosthetic structure is cemented in place, allowing for final adjustments to meet the patient's preferences.
Crowns and bridges are the superheroes of dentistry, perfect for restoring smiles! A dental crown is like a stylish cap, covering teeth damaged by decay or injury, and is made from materials like porcelain or metal alloys to restore both strength and beauty.
For multiple missing teeth, a dental bridge steps in. It consists of artificial teeth anchored by neighboring teeth, ensuring solid support and functionality while enhancing your smile.
At Veda Dentistry, we believe everyone deserves to smile confidently. Our custom crowns and bridges eliminate gaps and damage, revitalizing your oral health and offering a beautiful and functional smile.
A dental crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped cap placed over a tooth to restore its size, shape, strength, and appearance. Our cosmetic dentists recommend dental crowns for the following purposes:
Enhancing aesthetics by correcting cosmetic imperfections.
Covering dental implants for a natural-looking finish.
Restoring broken or severely worn teeth to their original form.
Protecting decayed or fragile teeth from further damage.
We offer a variety of enduring and aesthetically pleasing crown options to suit every patient’s needs:
PFM (Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal) Crowns: It is the blend of the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain. It is ideal for patients seeking durability and natural-looking results.
Metal Crowns: Made from precious or base metal alloys (e.g., platinum or gold). Highly resistant to wear and ideal for molars that endure heavy chewing forces.
Zirconia Crowns: Zirconia crowns offer a strong, visually appealing, and biocompatible dental restoration solution suitable for addressing various dental problems.
If missing teeth are impacting your smile or confidence, dental bridges can effectively fill the gaps. These prosthetics, often made from porcelain for a natural look, are anchored by adjacent teeth or implants.
Traditional Bridge: Uses crowns on both sides of the gap to hold the pontic (false tooth). Best suited when natural teeth are present on either side of the gap.
Maryland Bridge: Anchored with a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth. Minimally invasive and ideal for small gaps.
Cantilever Bridge: It is supported by a crown on only one side of the gap. Recommended when only one adjacent tooth is available.
Implant-Supported Bridge: Held in place by surgically placed implants for enhanced stability and durability. Perfect for patients with multiple missing teeth.
1. How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
With proper oral hygiene and routine dental check-ups, crowns and bridges can last between 5–15 years or longer.
2. What should I do if my crown or bridge becomes dislodged?
Contact us immediately. If the crown or bridge isn’t damaged, it can be re-cemented during an appointment.
3. Will eating become difficult after getting a crown or bridge?
Not at all! Crowns and bridges restore the natural function of your teeth, making eating easier and more comfortable.
4. How much do dental crowns and bridges cost?
The cost varies based on factors like the material used (zirconia, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or metal), the number of teeth involved, case complexity, and the type of bridge (e.g., implant-supported bridges are pricier). Additionally, location and clinic expertise can influence the price.
