Know-hows of Dental Crowns & Bridges

Dental crowns (caps) or bridges are fixed prostheses that are cemented or bonded directly on a prepared tooth structure or an implant. 


They usually replace a missing natural tooth or teeth and also provide extra strength to the root canal treated tooth. 

A variety of crowns are available and we can help you decide the best suitable crown for your teeth.


Metal Crown:

• Highly durable with good strength
• Usually used for rear teeth where they provide resistance to maximum biting forces


Porcelain Fused to Metal Crown:

• Combination of metal and porcelain to provide strength and esthetics 
• Highly durable


Zirconia Crown:

• Translucent with excellent combination of strength and esthetics 
• Strong and long lasting
• Metal free and biocompatible 

Emax Crown:

• High esthetic value with close resemblance to natural tooth structure
• Strong and durable
• Used for both front and rear teeth

Dental Inlays & Onlays

In case of moderate damage to your tooth, instead of fillings or full crown your dentist may recommend onlay or inlay. They are considered better alternatives to crown because they save more of the original tooth structure. What are Inlays and Onlays? They are indirect fillings or partial crowns which are fabricated in a dental laboratory and then bonded to the tooth. Inlay is placed when the cusp of the tooth (top structure of the rear teeth) is involved by decay or fracture whereas onlays repair the biting surfaces of teeth when one or more cusps are involved. Dental inlay is placed in the centre of the tooth whereas dental onlay is placed involving the inside and outer areas of the tooth. They can be of various types of materials like gold or tooth coloured fillings like ceramic or composites. Benefits: Precise size and shape of the involved section of the tooth Less contraction and accurate fit as compared to a filling Low chances of failure Increase...

Flexible Partial Dentures

A denture is a type of dental prosthesis designed to replace missing teeth. It is composed of two parts: denture base and teeth. Flexible dentures are called as flexible because the denture base is made of a softer nylon material which is more flexible than traditional acrylic denture bases. They are meant for partial replacement of your dentition. What are the advantages? More comfortable to wear and better fit since they conform to your gums unlike the rigid traditional dentures. This reduces the risk of sores and irritation. Less fragile and less likely to break. Not bulky; so they feel much more natural when you wear them. Blends in your mouth well.
