What is Crowns & Bridges?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. A dental bridge uses two crowns on adjacent teeth as anchors to "bridge" the gap left by one or more missing teeth.
At Yashashree Dental Family Care, we use high-quality materials — including zirconia and porcelain — to create crowns and bridges that are both durable and aesthetically indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Benefits of Crowns & Bridges
- ✅ Restores damaged, cracked, or heavily decayed teeth
- ✅ Replaces missing teeth without implant surgery
- ✅ Natural-looking, custom-shaded restorations
- ✅ Improves chewing function and bite
- ✅ Protects weakened teeth from further damage
- ✅ Long-lasting with proper care (10–15 years)
The Treatment Process
Examination & Consultation
Dr. Aparna examines the affected tooth/teeth and takes X-rays to assess bone levels and root health.
Tooth Preparation
The tooth receiving the crown is reshaped slightly to allow the crown to fit over it precisely and comfortably.
Impressions
Detailed impressions are taken of your teeth and sent to our dental lab where your custom crown or bridge is crafted.
Temporary Crown
A temporary crown is placed while your permanent restoration is being made (usually 7–10 days).
Permanent Fitting
Once the permanent crown or bridge is ready, it is carefully fitted, adjusted for bite comfort, and permanently cemented.
