DENTAL CROWN AND BRIDGE
A dental crown is a customized tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance.
A dental bridge, on the other hand, is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by crowns on adjacent natural teeth or dental implants, effectively "bridging" the gap left by missing teeth. Both crowns and bridges serve to improve oral function and aesthetics.
At Corona Dental Care, we take pride in creating custom dental crowns and bridges using premium, aesthetically pleasing materials. Our ceramic dental crowns seamlessly integrate with your natural smile, ensuring both a natural appearance and optimal functionality. Similarly, if you require tooth replacement, our dental bridges offer the same design versatility, ensuring that your new teeth harmonize flawlessly with your existing ones. We prioritize both the aesthetic and functional aspects of your dental restorations to deliver the best possible results for your smile.
TYPES OF CROWN
1
DMLS Crown (Direct Metal Laser Sintering)
DMLS crowns are crafted using advanced 3D printing technology, which precisely fuses metal powders layer by layer. These crowns are known for their exceptional durability and strength, making them an excellent choice for restoring teeth that endure significant biting forces. DMLS crowns are also highly resistant to wear, making them long-lasting and suitable for posterior teeth.
2
Emax Crown
Emax crowns are made from lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, renowned for its remarkable esthetics and strength. These crowns are known for their natural appearance and translucency, closely resembling natural teeth. Emax crowns are a preferred choice for restoring front teeth or any visible areas of the mouth due to their ability to blend seamlessly with your smile while maintaining durability.
DIGITAL INTRAORAL SCAN
The use of 3D digital intra-oral scans at Corona Dental Care offers significant advantages in modern dental practice. These scans ensure precision and accuracy, leading to perfectly fitting dental restorations. We prioritize patient comfort by eliminating the need for messy traditional impressions, making the process quicker and more efficient. The immediate visualization of oral conditions on a screen enhances communication between dentists and patients, reducing the risk of errors and promoting a better understanding of treatments.
FAQ
DENTAL FILLING
WHAT IS A CAVITY?
A dental cavity, also known simply as a "cavity" or "tooth decay," is a common dental problem characterized by the gradual breakdown of a tooth's hard outer surface, which is called enamel.
To treat a dental cavity, we remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill the cavity with a dental filling material. Dental fillings help restore the tooth's shape, function, and strength, while also preventing further decay.
Regular dental check-ups allow our dentist to identify cavities early and recommend appropriate fillings when necessary, helping you maintain a healthy and functional smile.
SYMPTOMS OF TOOTH DECAY
01.
Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks.
02.
Toothache or localized pain.
03.
Visible holes or pits in the teeth.
04.
Discoloration or dark spots on the tooth's surface.
05.
Bad breath or an unpleasant taste in the mouth
WHAT TO EXPECT ?
The dental filling procedure typically lasts one to two hours. It begins with the administration of local anesthesia to numb the tooth and surrounding area. Once the tooth is numb, the decayed portion is carefully removed using specialized dental instruments.
​
For the majority of our dental fillings, we utilize a material called composite, which closely matches the natural color of your teeth. Composite bonds directly to the tooth structure, allowing us to perform a minimally invasive filling. It comes in various shades, and we select the one that best matches your tooth's natural appearance.
​
The filling is skillfully shaped by hand to fit the contours of your tooth accurately. Subsequently, a specialized light is employed to cure or harden the composite material in place, ensuring a strong and durable bond.
This approach not only restores the tooth's function and strength but also provides a natural-looking result that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
