Why should I have a root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment can save a tooth as well as preventing the other oral health problems associated with tooth loss and infection. Thanks to advances in modern dentistry, root canal treatment is no more painful that getting a filling.
What is a crown?
A dental crown is a type of dental restoration that completely covers or “caps” a damaged or decayed tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. It is essentially a tooth-shaped “cap” that is cemented onto an existing tooth or implant to cover the visible portion of the tooth above the gum line.
Dental crowns are commonly used to protect weakened or fractured teeth, restore teeth that have been extensively damaged by decay or trauma, cover dental implants, and improve the appearance of misshapen or discoloured teeth. Crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including metal alloys, porcelain, ceramic, or a combination of materials. The type of material used will depend on factors such as the location of the tooth, the extent of damage, and the patient’s preferences and budget.
What is a bridge?
A dental bridge is a type of dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It is a fixed prosthetic device that is cemented onto the remaining natural teeth or dental implants adjacent to the gap created by the missing teeth. The bridge is made up of two or more dental crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap, called abutment teeth, and a false tooth or teeth in between, called pontics.
The abutment teeth are prepared by removing a portion of their enamel to accommodate the crowns that will hold the bridge in place. The pontic or pontics are then attached to the crowns and the entire bridge is cemented onto the abutment teeth.
Dental bridges are used to restore the function and appearance of the missing teeth as well as prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of position. They can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination of materials. The type of material used will depend on factors such as the location of the missing teeth, the extent of the gap, and the patient’s preferences and budget.
How long should a crown or bridge last?
The lifespan of a crown or bridge depends on factors such as the type of material used, the quality of placement, and oral hygiene habits. With proper care, a dental crown or bridge can last for many years, generally between 10 and 15 years or more. It’s important to visit the dentist regularly and practise good oral hygiene to extend the lifespan of the restoration.
