Dental crowns and bridges offer numerous benefits. They restore the function and natural appearance of teeth, providing strength to damaged teeth and filling in gaps. They are custom-made to fit your natural teeth, enhancing the aesthetics of your smile. Additionally, bridges prevent surrounding teeth from shifting into the space left by a missing tooth, maintaining proper alignment.

The process typically begins with an initial consultation where the dentist examines the teeth and discusses the best treatment plan. For crowns, the damaged tooth is shaped to fit the crown, while for bridges, the adjacent teeth are prepared to anchor the bridge. Impressions of the teeth are taken to create a custom crown or bridge. A temporary crown or bridge may be placed to protect the prepared teeth while the permanent ones are being made. At the follow-up visit, the permanent crown or bridge will be fitted, adjusted for maximum comfort, and cemented into place.

The process typically requires two dental visits. The first visit involves preparation and impressions, while the second visit, usually a few weeks later, involves fitting and cementing the permanent crown or bridge.

Yes, crowns and bridges are made from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal. With proper care, they can last from 10 to 15 years or more.

L’igiene orale regolare è essenziale. Spazzolare due volte al giorno e usare il filo interdentale attorno alla corona o al ponte per prevenire l’accumulo di placca. Visite regolari dal dentista assicurano che le corone e i ponti rimangano in buone condizioni. Si consiglia inoltre di fare attenzione agli alimenti duri o appiccicosi che potrebbero danneggiare le corone o i ponti.
