What are Crowns and Bridges, and How Do They Work?

Crowns and bridges are fixed dental restorations designed to repair damaged teeth or replace missing ones, helping you regain both function and aesthetics.A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance.

Crowns are often recommended after a root canal treatment, for cracked or worn-down teeth, or to improve cosmetic appearance.A dental bridge, on the other hand, is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored to the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. The procedure for crowns and bridges generally involves:

  • Consultation & Diagnosis – Your dentist assesses your oral health and recommends the right type of restoration.
  • Tooth Preparation – For crowns, the tooth is shaped to allow a perfect fit. For bridges, the supporting teeth are prepared as well.
  • Impression & Customization – A precise mold of your teeth is taken and sent to a dental lab for custom fabrication.
  • Fitting & Cementing – Once ready, the crown or bridge is checked for fit, comfort, and aesthetics, then permanently cemented.

With modern technology at Kairon Polyclinic, crowns and bridges can be made from materials like porcelain, zirconia, and ceramic for a natural, durable finish.

Who Needs Crowns and Bridges?

Crowns and bridges are recommended for individuals who:

 

  • Have a broken, fractured, or severely decayed tooth.
  • Need to protect a tooth after root canal treatment.
  • Have one or more missing teeth and want a fixed, long-term solution.
  • Want to improve the look of discolored, misshapen, or uneven teeth.
  • Require bite correction or restoration of chewing ability.

 

If left untreated, missing or damaged teeth can lead to shifting teeth, bite problems, gum issues, and even jawbone deterioration. Crowns and bridges restore not only your smile but also your oral health and function.

Where Can Crowns and Bridges Be Used?

Crowns and bridges can be used in various parts of the mouth:

  • Front teeth: To restore visible teeth with a natural, aesthetic finish.
  • Back teeth: To strengthen molars that bear heavy chewing forces.
  • Multiple missing teeth: Bridges can fill the gaps while maintaining alignment.
  • Dental implants: Crowns can be placed over implants for a permanent tooth replacement solution.

 

Their versatility makes them suitable for both cosmetic and functional dental restoration needs. With Kairon Polyclinic, you’re not just fixing teeth—you’re investing in a confident, healthy smile.
