Crowns & Bridges

Picture this: you're biting into your favourite treat, only to hesitate because of that troublesome tooth. Or maybe, every time you look in the mirror, your smile reminds you of the gap left behind by a missing tooth. Sound familiar? We get it. Life throws challenges at your teeth, but the good news is you don’t have to live with them.
‍

At Paris Dental Centre, we believe your smile deserves the best care, no matter the damage or gaps. Crowns and bridges are the ultimate solutions to restore your teeth’s functionality and beauty—because no one should feel limited by their smile.
‍

What Are Crowns and Bridges?

Crowns and bridges are restorative dental treatments designed to repair or replace teeth, enhancing their strength, appearance, and function.

• Crowns: Also known as “caps,” crowns are custom-made restorations that cover and protect a damaged or weakened tooth. They can be crafted from various materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal to match the look and feel of your natural teeth.
• Bridges: Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. Anchored by crowns on either side of the gap, bridges hold a false tooth (or teeth) in place, restoring your smile and ensuring proper alignment of your remaining teeth.
  ‍

When Are Crowns and Bridges Needed?

Here are some common situations where crowns and bridges can help:

‍

Crowns

• A tooth weakened by decay or a large filling.
• A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth.
• A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy.
• To improve the appearance of a misshapen or discoloured tooth.
• To cap a dental implant.

‍

Bridges

• One or more missing teeth that affect your smile.
• Teeth drifting out of alignment due to gaps.
• Difficulty chewing or speaking caused by missing teeth.
• Restoring your bite and preventing jaw discomfort.

‍

If any of these scenarios sound familiar, crowns and bridges may be the perfect solution for you. Our team at Paris Dental Centre will create a customized treatment plan to meet your specific needs.

The Crown and Bridge Procedure: What to Expect

We know dental procedures can seem intimidating, but our patient-first approach ensures that you’ll feel at ease every step of the way. Here’s what you can expect during your treatment:

‍

Step 1: Consultation and Assessment

During your initial visit, we’ll perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums, including X-rays if needed. This helps us determine the best treatment option for you—whether it’s a crown, bridge, or a combination of both.

‍

Step 2: Tooth Preparation

For crowns, the damaged tooth is carefully shaped to create space for the restoration. If you’re getting a bridge, the teeth on either side of the gap (abutment teeth) are also prepared to hold the crowns that will support the bridge.

‍

Step 3: Taking Impressions

We’ll take digital or physical impressions of your teeth to ensure your crown or bridge fits perfectly. This mould is sent to a dental lab where skilled technicians craft your custom restoration.

‍

Step 4: Temporary Restorations

While your permanent crown or bridge is being made, we’ll place temporary restorations to protect your teeth and maintain functionality.

‍

Step 5: Placement of the Final Restoration

Once your crown or bridge is ready, it’s carefully placed and adjusted to ensure a perfect fit. We’ll check your bite, make any necessary refinements, and secure the restoration in place.

‍

With your new crown or bridge, you’ll leave our clinic with a smile that’s strong, beautiful, and ready to shine.

‍

Benefits of Crowns and Bridges

Choosing crowns or bridges offers several advantages:

• Restored Functionality: Enjoy eating, speaking, and smiling without discomfort or hesitation.
• Durable and Long-Lasting: With proper care, crowns and bridges can last for many years.
• Natural Appearance: Custom-designed to match the colour and shape of your teeth for a seamless look.
• Prevents Further Issues: Protects remaining teeth from shifting, wear, or further damage.

At Paris Dental Centre, we provide restorations that look as good as they feel—because you deserve nothing less.

‍
