A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap. Our dentists at The Dental Doctors use crowns to restore weak, broken or decayed teeth. A crown fits over your entire tooth, like a snug hat. To ensure a proper fit, a dentist will need to remove a small amount of enamel before bonding your new crown in place. There are many types of dental crowns. The kind that’s right for you depends on your personal preferences and unique oral health needs.
Metal Crowns are the most commonly used as they rarely chip or break, last the longest in terms of wear and only require a small amount of enamel removal. They can also withstand biting and chewing forces. The metallic color is the main drawback of this type of crown. Metal crowns are a good choice for out-of-sight molars.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) crowns combine the durability of metal and the natural look of porcelain. Dentists can match these crowns to the shade of your own teeth.PFM crowns last almost as long as metal crowns. They can restore both front and back teeth.
All-ceramic or porcelain crowns give the appearance of tooth enamel more than any other crown type. They’re also a good choice if you have metal allergies. Different materials are used to make ceramic crowns, but one of the most popular is zirconium dioxide. Zirconia crowns are extremely durable and can withstand heavier forces than other types of ceramic crowns. They’re also gentle on your opposing teeth resulting in less enamel wear.
Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap (these two or more anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth) and a false tooth/teeth in between. Dental bridges are supported by your natural teeth or dental implants. bridge creates a crown for the tooth or implant on either side of the missing tooth, with a pontic in between. Traditional bridges are the most common type of bridge and are made of either porcelain fused to metal or ceramics.
There is difference between a dental implant and dental bridge. A dental implant starts with a screw or a post placed in your jaw during oral surgery. It goes in the spot left by the missing tooth's root. Once your jaw has healed from the surgery, a crown goes on top of the post. Dental bridges fill in for missing teeth without replacing the root. Crowns go over your natural teeth on each side of the missing tooth and an artificial tooth bridges the gap between them.
