Crowns & Bridges

Crowns & Bridges

Crowns and bridges are essential tools in restorative dentistry, helping restore both the function and appearance of damaged or missing teeth. Dr. Nivaidita Rastogi, a seasoned dental surgeon with over 11 years of experience, specializes in providing durable, aesthetically pleasing crowns and bridges that fit comfortably and look natural.

A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. A bridge, on the other hand, replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the adjacent natural teeth or implants. Both crowns and bridges are highly effective solutions for improving your smile and dental functionality.

Types

Types of Dental Crowns

Different materials are used for crowns, each offering specific advantages.

Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns are highly aesthetic, providing a natural, tooth-colored look that blends seamlessly with your smile. They are an excellent choice for visible front teeth.

Metal Crowns

Metal crowns, often made of gold or a metal alloy, are extremely durable and are typically used for back teeth where strength is prioritized over appearance.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns

These crowns combine the strength of metal with the aesthetic appeal of porcelain, offering a balance of durability and appearance.

Ceramic Crowns

Ceramic crowns are another aesthetic option, known for their natural-looking finish. They are a popular choice for patients with metal allergies or those desiring a metal-free option.

Types

Types of Dental Bridges

Dr. Rastogi offers several types of dental bridges to suit different dental needs.

Traditional Bridges

Traditional bridges involve creating a bridge that uses adjacent teeth for support, filling the gap left by missing teeth.

Cantilever Bridges

Cantilever bridges are used when only one adjacent tooth is available for support, typically used in areas where there is less stress on the teeth.

Maryland Bridges

Maryland bridges use a metal or porcelain framework to bond the bridge to the back of adjacent teeth. They are less invasive and are a good option for certain cases.

Implant-Supported Bridges

For a more permanent solution, implant-supported bridges offer the most stability. Implants are placed in the jawbone to anchor the bridge, providing excellent strength and longevity.

Process

The Process of Getting Crowns and Bridges with Dr. Nivaidita Rastogi

Dr. Rastogi follows a detailed and patient-centered approach to ensure the best results.

  • Initial Consultation and Assessment

    • Dr. Rastogi begins with a thorough examination and assessment to determine the best course of action for your oral health needs. She’ll discuss your options and answer any questions you have.

  • Preparation of Teeth

    • If you’re receiving a crown, the damaged tooth will be shaped to fit the crown. For bridges, adjacent teeth are prepared to support the bridge structure.

  • Placement of Temporary Crowns/Bridges

    • Temporary crowns or bridges are placed to protect your teeth while the permanent ones are being created. This ensures comfort and functionality until your next appointment.

  • Fitting the Permanent Crowns/Bridges

    • Once the permanent crown or bridge is ready, Dr. Rastogi will ensure it fits correctly, making any necessary adjustments for comfort and functionality.
