Ocimum Dentistry team takes the time to understand your needs and makes sure you’re at ease every step of the way.

 

Dental crowns, often called caps, are tooth-shaped coverings placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its strength, shape, appearance, and function. They are used when a tooth has a very large filling, has undergone a root canal, is fractured, severely worn, or for cosmetic enhancement.

Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth (pontics) fused to crowns that are cemented onto the adjacent natural teeth (abutment teeth) or dental implants, effectively “bridging” the gap. Bridges help restore your smile, maintain facial structure, and prevent remaining teeth from shifting. People with missing teeth are candidates for dental bridges.

 

Various materials are used for crowns and bridges, including:

 

Porcelain

 

Ceramic

 

Metal alloys

 

A combination of porcelain fused to metal

 

The choice of material depends on the patient’s specific needs, the location of the tooth, aesthetic goals, and the dentist’s recommendation.

 

Implant-Supported Bridges

These bridges are supported by dental implants rather than natural teeth, which can be particularly effective for molars and premolars or when multiple teeth are missing. Dental implants involve titanium anchors surgically placed into the jawbone, which then integrate with the bone to provide strong support for a crown or bridge.

 

Ocimum Dentistry  offers comprehensive services for crowns and bridges. Their treatments aim to improve both the appearance and function of your teeth. They specialize in fitting prosthetic teeth anchored with dental cement to surrounding real teeth or using dental implants for a more permanent solution. The clinic is equipped with advanced technology to ensure durable and natural-looking results for their crowns and bridges solutions.

 

Dental bridges and crowns offer numerous benefits:

 

Improved Appearance: They restore the natural beauty of your smile and boost confidence.

 

Enhanced Function: These restorations improve your ability to chew and speak comfortably and properly.

 

Protection for Damaged Teeth: Crowns protect weakened or damaged teeth from further issues.

 

Prevention of Tooth Shifting: Bridges help maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth by preventing them from drifting into the space left by missing teeth.

 

Durability: With proper care, crowns and bridges are designed to last for many years. Generally, they can last 10-15 years, depending on use and oral hygiene.

 

Maintained Facial Structure: Bridges can help prevent bone loss in the jaw where teeth are missing, thus maintaining facial contours.

 

Ocimum Dentistry emphasizes a patient-centric approach, ensuring individualized attention and pain-free, minimally invasive procedures by utilizing advanced technology and gentle techniques.

 

While Ocimum Dentistry mentions using advanced technology and a patient-centric approach for crowns and bridges, a general process for these procedures typically includes the following steps:

 

Initial Consultation: The dentist will examine your teeth, discuss your dental concerns and medical history, and may take X-rays to assess the condition of the teeth and surrounding bone. They will determine if a crown or bridge is the most suitable treatment and discuss material options.

 

Tooth Preparation (Abutment Teeth): For a crown, the affected tooth is reshaped by removing a portion of its outer layer or enamel to make space for the crown. For a bridge, the teeth on either side of the gap (abutment teeth) are similarly prepared to receive crowns that will support the bridge.

 

Taking Impressions: An impression (mold) of the prepared teeth and surrounding area is taken. This impression serves as a blueprint for the dental laboratory to custom-fabricate the crown or bridge to ensure a precise fit and natural appearance.

 

Temporary Crown/Bridge Placement: While the permanent restoration is being made in the lab (which can take a few weeks), a temporary crown or bridge may be placed over the prepared tooth or teeth. This protects the exposed areas and allows for normal function.

 

Permanent Crown/Bridge Placement: Once the custom crown or bridge is ready, you will return to the dental clinic. The temporary restoration is removed, and the permanent one is checked for fit, color, and bite. Any necessary adjustments are made.

 

Cementation: If the fit and aesthetics are satisfactory, the permanent crown or bridge is cemented into place using a strong dental adhesive.

 

Final Adjustments and Aftercare: The dentist may make final adjustments to ensure your bite feels natural and comfortable. You will receive instructions on how to care for your new crown or bridge, including proper oral hygiene practices to ensure its longevity.
