Crowns And Bridges

Crowns and Bridge Dentistry forms an integral part of our job. A crown/ cap are generally given to restore the form of the tooth that may have been broken down or discolored by wear, injury or infections where a restoration alone would not survive. A bridge allows your dentist to replace missing teeth with the support of adjoining teeth (referred to as abutments). Types of crown include metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal(PFM) and metal free ceramics crowns. With a wide range of materials and qualities available, you can choose the treatment that suits you needs at an given time with our help. In the hands of our experienced prosthodontist, we promise to provide the most durable and cost effective solutions.

Cases with extensive loss of tooth structure or molars, generally need crown after Root Canal Procedure. In a few cases where there is extreme tooth structure loss, a post and core build up procedure is required before placing crown. In anterior teeth which have adequate tooth structure, Rct is followed by a restoration/filling.

We at Dental Precision Clinic, have a wide variety of crowns from metal ceramic to all ceramic (metal-free) crowns with wide range of warranty period provided by the manufacturer. We provide metal-ceramic crowns with warranty of 3yrs, 5yrs & 15yrs respectively by the manufacturer. In All-Ceramic Crowns, we provide 10yrs, 12yrs & 15yrs of warranty respectively. This allows our patients to opt the variant according to their budget and warranty requirements.

Frequently Raised Doubts:

• MRI after Dental treatment- The titanium, titanium alloy and zirconia crowns used in most dental implants and crowns are not ferromagnetic metals. So it is safe to enter an MRI with them in your mouth. Still it is important to inform your radiologist before the investigation.
• Warranty over the crowns – There are particular labs that provide the warranty over the crowns. Warranty can be of 3yrs, 5yrs, 7yrs, 10yrs or 15 yrs respectively depending on the variant of the ceramic.

Metal Braces

They are the most common braces for the orthodontic patients. They are comparatively smaller, flatter and more comfortable to the patient. Patients of all ages can opt for the metal braces.

Ceramic Braces

They are less noticeable because they can blend in easily with the natural teeth. So they are expensive comparatively. But now a days the difference in price is not too much as compared to metal braces. That’s why most of the patients at Dental Precision opt for ceramic braces.

Lingual Braces

These braces are fixed on the inner surface of the teeth. These are specially for the people who are artists or performers, news anchors who have a screen presence. They are expensive than usual ceramic or metal braces but economical than clear aligners. They are little difficult to wear as compared to other type of braces.

Self Ligating Braces

Self-ligating braces are made of some material as of regular braces. They can be in metal, ceramic or clear. They are better than the conventional braces. Since they are smaller, they are more comfortable and provide better aesthetics. They have a clip incorporated which guides the arch wire. This clip reduces the pressure on the teeth. Unlike the regular braces there is no need of the elastics. Treatment completes faster with self ligating braces.

Clear Aligners

They are the transparent, plastic like orthodontic devices which helps in aligning the teeth. The patient’s impression is used to create computerized models of the stages between the present situations of teeth and desired final outcome. The aligners are fabricated for each stage and the patient is asked to wear these aligners for at least 20 hrs a day for two weeks. The patient is called by the dentist to inspect the changes and a new set of next stage aligners are provided. They are an expensive alternative to the conventional braces. They are extremely comfortable than the regular braces. But the success depends on the patient compliance.
