What Is Crowns and Bridges Installation?
If you’re experiencing a bit of a snag with a missing or broken tooth, don't worry! There are a couple of great options that you might want to consider: dental crowns and dental bridges. These options are extremely helpful when it comes to addressing your missing or crooked teeth.
Let's start with the dental crown! This little guy can be used to cover up a damaged or decaying tooth, or even replace a missing tooth by placing it atop a dental implant. It covers the entire tooth and is typically made from porcelain, which is known for its strength and durability. Once it is permanently cemented to your natural tooth, it not only restores its appearance but also its function.
Moving on to the dental bridge, which is made up of three or more connected dental crowns. It's certainly an excellent way to restore both the appearance and function of your smile, while also preventing pesky problems like teeth shifting.
The dental bridge works by connecting the replacement tooth to the adjacent teeth, which act as anchors for the bridge.

Benefits of Crown and Bridges Installation
Crowns and bridgework are important players in the world of cosmetic dentistry in general. After all, they have some sweet benefits to offer:
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Dental crowns can help reduce any pain or sensitivity caused by a cracked tooth.
- They can also prevent a pesky crack from progressing and causing damage to the nerve of the tooth.
- Help improve bite problems, which in turn can prevent or ease pain from TMJ disorder.
- Can give your damaged teeth or those with large silver fillings a serious facelift-like adjustment.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Promote a balanced bite, which can reduce the risk of excess stress on adjacent teeth.
- Help maintain the shape of your face.
- Allow you to chew your food with more ease.
- Can prevent adjacent teeth from shifting.
Types of Crowns
You get some choices to make when it comes to dental crowns. There are actually four different types out there, and they each have their own unique characteristics:
- Porcelain Fused to Metal: This type of crown is sturdy, thanks to the metal structure it's attached to. It's often used for fixing front teeth since the ceramic blends in nicely with the natural color of your pearly whites.
- Gold Alloys: These crowns are made from a mix of metals, including everyone's favorite: gold! They won't fracture or wear away at the tooth itself, and they're incredibly durable.
- Base Metal Alloys: These crowns are made from non-noble metals that are seriously resistant to corrosion. They're also super strong and require less tooth removal for fitting than any other type of crown.
- Ceramic: Last but not least, we've got ceramic crowns. These crowns are made entirely of ceramic, so they blend in with your natural teeth like a dream. However, they're not as strong as the other types of crowns, but they're still a great option.
Types of Dental Bridges
We can break down dental bridges into 4 main types as follows:
- Traditional dental bridges: These are the most common type of bridge and involve using dental crowns (also known as abutments) on either side of the gap to hold the false teeth (pontics) in place. The drawback here is that your dentist will have to remove enamel from the adjacent teeth to make room for the crowns.
- Cantilever bridges: These bridges are very close to the previously mentioned type, but only have an abutment on one side of the pontic. Therefore, they can be used even if only one side of the gap has a natural tooth next to it.
- Implant-supported bridges: If you're missing more than one tooth, this type of bridge might be right for you. Instead of using crowns or frameworks, these bridges use dental implants for support. Typically, an implant is placed for each missing tooth, which makes these bridges feel super secure and comfortable.
- Maryland bridges: For these bridges, a metal or porcelain framework is used to hold the pontic in place. The overall framework is bonded to the backs of the two teeth next to the gap. The drawback is that the strength of the bridge relies only on the resin.
The Procedure of Crowns and Bridges Installation
The process of getting dental crowns is relatively straightforward. Here's what you can expect:
1. The first visit
This is all about preparation and placing temporary bridges. During the first visit, your dentist will investigate and prepare the tooth for the crown. This includes taking an X-ray and an impression of the tooth.
2. The second visit
The permanent crown will be placed. In some cases, the dentist may use a digital wand to make 3D models of the tooth, allowing for same-day placement.
3. The Regular Care
Once the procedure is done, it's important to take good care of your bridge. Regular follow-up visits to your dentist can ensure that everything is functioning properly.
Tips to Maintain Your Crown or Bridge
Investing in your oral health is a smart move! and getting a dental crown or bridge is a significant step in that direction. These restorations are designed to last for years, but the actual lifespan depends on various factors. Here are some important points to keep in mind:
- The lifespan of a dental crown or bridge typically ranges from five to fifteen years. However, this varies based on the type of material used and the patient's care and maintenance.
- Proper oral hygiene is essential for promoting the longevity of your dental work. This includes brushing and flossing daily, as well as getting professional cleanings, check-ups, and topical fluoride treatments on a regular basis.
- Protecting your teeth from heavy forces is also crucial for the longevity of your dental work. If you experience signs of clenching or grinding your teeth at night, your dentist may recommend wearing a protective mouthguard while sleeping.
Disadvantages of Crowns and Bridges
Despite their effectiveness and benefits, crowns and bridges carry some drawbacks such as:
- Cleaning a dental bridge isn’t as straightforward as cleaning natural teeth, so adjunctive oral hygiene tools are necessary to adequately clean underneath it.
- Maintaining a dental bridge requires more effort to keep it clean and free of cavities. In some cases, healthy tooth structure may need to be removed from adjacent teeth to make the bridge.
- Improperly applied dental crowns could pose risks that could manifest immediately or over time. These risks include sensitivity to heat and cold, pain or discomfort, a chipped crown, or a loose crown that exposes the natural tooth.
