What is Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that fully cover a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, function, and aesthetics. Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants. At FLOSS IT, crowns and bridges are crafted with precision using high-quality, durable, and natural-looking materials, ensuring long-lasting results.
What happens in The Procedure?
The procedure involves several steps to achieve optimal results.
1. Assessment & Planning
The dentist examines the teeth, takes X-rays, and creates impressions to design a
crown or bridge that perfectly fits the patient’s bite.
2. Tooth Preparation
The affected tooth is shaped to allow the crown or bridge to fit securely.
3. Impressions
Detailed impressions of the prepared tooth/teeth are taken to fabricate the restoration in
the lab.
4. Temporary Crown/Bridge
A temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect the tooth until the permanent
restoration is ready
5. Fabrication
High-quality materials such as zirconia, ceramic, or porcelain-fused-to-metal are used to craft
the final crown or bridge.
6. Placement & Adjustment
The permanent crown or bridge is placed, checked for bite alignment, and
adjusted for comfort.
7. Polishing & Finalization
The restoration is polished to ensure a natural, smooth finish that blends
seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
