Crown and Bridges

Crowns and bridges are common dental restorations used to repair damaged or missing teeth. Here's an overview of each

Crowns:

A dental crown, also known as a "cap," is a tooth-shaped restoration that is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. Crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials. They are custom-made to match the colour and shape of the patient's existing teeth and are permanently bonded to the tooth using dental cement.

Crowns may be recommended to:
  1. Protect a weak or damaged tooth from further decay or breakage
  2. Restore a broken or severely worn tooth
  3. Cover a tooth with a large filling or root canal
  4. Improve the appearance of a discoloured or misshapen tooth

Bridges:

Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a prosthetic tooth (or teeth) to adjacent teeth using crowns. Like crowns, bridges are custom-made to match the patient's existing teeth and are permanently bonded in place using dental cement.

Bridges may be recommended to:
  1. Replace one or more missing teeth
  2. Prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position
  3. Restore the ability to speak and chew properly
  4. Improve the appearance of the smile

Both crowns and bridges are typically placed over the course of two or more dental appointments. The dentist will first prepare the tooth or teeth to receive the restoration, take impressions of the teeth, and send the impressions to a dental laboratory where the restoration will be fabricated. Once the restoration is ready, the dentist will bond it to the tooth or teeth using dental cement.

The cost of crowns and bridges can vary depending on factors such as the materials used, the complexity of the case, and the location of the dental clinic. It's important to discuss the specifics of your case with a dental professional to determine the best treatment options and associated costs.

How Long Do Crowns and Bridges Last?

The lifespan of dental crowns and bridges can vary depending on several factors, such as the material used, the quality of the restoration, oral hygiene practices, and regular dental checkups.

Generally, dental crowns and bridges can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years or longer with proper care. Here are some tips to help ensure the longevity of your dental restorations:
  1. Practice good oral hygiene: Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss daily to prevent decay and gum disease, which can affect the longevity of your crowns and bridges.
  2. Avoid hard or sticky foods: Chewing on hard foods, such as ice or hard candy, can cause damage to the restorations. Sticky foods can also dislodge the crowns and bridges.
  3. Wear a mouthguard: If you grind your teeth at night or participate in contact sports, wearing a mouthguard can protect your dental restorations from damage.
  4. Visit your dentist regularly: Regular dental checkups and cleanings can help detect any issues with your crowns and bridges early on, allowing for prompt treatment and repair.
  5. Maintain a healthy diet: Eating a well-balanced diet with plenty of calcium and vitamin D can help keep your teeth and restorations strong and healthy.

It's important to note that crowns and bridges may need to be replaced over time due to wear and tear or changes in the surrounding teeth or gums. If you notice any changes in the fit or appearance of your restorations, or experience any pain or discomfort, it's important to contact your dentist right away.

Pricing for Crown and Bridges

The cost of dental crowns and bridges can vary depending on several factors, including the material used, the complexity of the case, and the location of the dental clinic. Generally, the cost of dental crowns can range from approximately INR 5000 to INR 30,000 per crown, while the cost of dental bridges can range from approximately INR 15,000 to INR 50,000 or more depending on the number of teeth being replaced and the type of material used.

The cost of dental crowns and bridges may be higher for more complex cases, such as those involving multiple teeth or specialized materials, such as porcelain or zirconia. Additionally, the cost may be influenced by the location of the dental clinic and the experience and qualifications of the dental professional performing the procedure.

It's important to consult with a dental professional to discuss the specifics of your case and receive an accurate cost estimate for dental crowns or bridges. Dental clinics may offer package deals or discounts for multiple crowns or bridges or for patients with dental insurance, so it's worth asking about these options as well.
