Crowns, Bridges, Full and Partial Dentures

Delivering world class Dental care

Crowns, bridges, full and partial dentures are different types of dental prosthetics used to replace missing teeth or to repair damaged teeth.

A crown is a cap that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance.

A bridge is a device that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap.

A full denture is a removable appliance that replaces all the teeth in an arch (upper or lower jaw).

A partial denture is a removable appliance that replaces one or more missing teeth in an arch, but not all of them. It attaches to the remaining natural teeth with clasps or precision attachments.

The process of getting crowns, bridges, full dentures, and partial dentures typically involves several steps, including consultation, preparation, impression, fabrication, and fitting.
Consultation

The first step is to consult with a dentist to determine the best type of prosthetic for your needs. They will examine your mouth, take X-rays, and discuss your treatment options with you.

Preparation

If a crown is being placed, the dentist will need to remove any decay and shape the tooth so that the crown can fit over it. If a bridge is being placed, the dentist will need to prepare the teeth on either side of the gap to serve as anchors for the artificial teeth.

Impression

Once the tooth/teeth are prepared, the dentist will take an impression (mold) of the area to be fitted for the prosthetic.

Fabrication

The impression will be sent to a dental lab where the prosthetic will be fabricated, usually taking a couple of weeks.

Fitting

Once the prosthetic is ready, the dentist will fit it in your mouth, making any necessary adjustments for comfort and bite. If a bridge or crown is being fitted, the dentist will cement it in place. If it's a partial or full denture, it will be placed in the mouth and checked for proper fit and function.

Follow-up

After the fitting, the dentist will schedule follow-up appointments to check on the healing and the fitting of the prosthetic.

Additionally, for full and partial dentures, the dentist may also take multiple impressions of your gums and jaw, to ensure the dentures will fit comfortably and securely. The dentures will be fabricated based on these impressions and will be adjusted by the dentist to fit properly. Crowns and bridges typically require 2-3 appointments, while full and partial dentures may require more appointments.
