Dental crowns are placed on top of a tooth that has lost a considerable amount of tooth structure. The crowns protect and restores the natural form and function of the tooth and thereby helps in chewing and other functions. Dental crowns are usually placed on tooth that has undergone root canal treatment as an extra protection. Besides strengthening a damaged tooth, a crown can be used to improve its appearance, shape, and alignment too. At Versatile Dental Clinic, Al Barsha, our experienced dentists make sure our patients get the crown and bridge treatment options.
Dental bridges are one of the treatment options for replacing one or more missing teeth. Spaces left by the missing tooth eventually cause the adjacent tooth to move or rotate, resulting in improper occlusion or bite. A bridge is basically crowns on either side of the missing tooth, there by bridging the gap. Our dentists in Versatile Dental Clinic, has the calibre of performing the crowns and bridges work in Dubai.

FAQ

Keep your gums and teeth healthy, so that the foundation of the overlaying crowns remains strong. Also make sure to visit your dentist for follow ups and to keep a check on the maintenance of your crowns and bridges.

Crowns and bridges are fixed prosthesis unlike dentures. Hence, they need to be maintained the same way as our natural teeth. Brush twice daily with medium to soft bristled toothbrush. Rinse your mouth with a mouth wash to maintain your gum health. Clean the areas between the crowns and gums by using an interdental brush to remove the food debris. Maintenance is the key for long lasting crowns and bridges.
Regardless of the number of teeth missing, you must get them replaced. Failure in replacing a missing tooth can cause serious dental issues. The adjacent tooth and the opposing tooth start moving towards the missing space creating mobility of the existing tooth, and problems in one’s normal bite. A missing tooth for a long period of time can also cause resorption of the jawbone and reduces the density and strength of the bone. At Versatile dental clinic, we are in crowns and bridges treatment.
