Crown / bridge treatment

Prosthetics play a crucial role in restoring the dental health and functionality of the
patient’s mouth. Two common dental treatments in this field are crowns and bridges.
What is it?
Prosthetics deals with the replacement of missing or damaged teeth in order to restore
aesthetics, bite and speech function. This can be achieved using a variety of prosthetic
solutions, the most common being crowns and bridges. Crowns – protection and
reconstruction of single teeth. Crowns are individual dental prostheses that are cemented
onto an existing tooth to restore form, strength and function. They can be made of various
materials, including porcelain, ceramics or metal. Crowns are often used when a tooth is
severely damaged by decay or trauma, and provide strong protection while maintaining a
natural aesthetic.
Bridges – reconstruction of several teeth.
Bridges are artificial teeth used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of one
or more crowns that are attached to the supporting teeth on either side of the missing area,
and thus fill the gap with artificial teeth. Bridges not only provide aesthetic reconstruction,
but they also help maintain the proper bite and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting.
Both crowns and bridges require careful planning and fitting to ensure a perfect fit and
function. Before artificial teeth are made in a dental laboratory, dentist will take
impressions or scans and make the necessary preparations. To extend the life of crowns or
bridges, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene and visit your dentist regularly. Both
crowns and bridges provide a reliable solution to restoring the dental health and
functionality of teeth. These prosthetic solutions play a crucial role in giving patients a
beautiful smile and restoring their ability to chew and speak normally. By using
professional help and maintaining good oral hygiene, patients can enjoy the functionality
and aesthetics of the oral cavity for a long time.
