Understanding Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns and bridges are effective options for repairing damaged or replacing missing teeth. When a tooth becomes infected, it can lead to complications if left untreated. In such cases, restorative dentistry focuses on addressing the issue and supporting oral health. You can explore two key treatments to regain your smile: dental crowns and bridges. At K Family Dental, we provide personalised care to help you achieve a healthy, brighter smile.

Dental bridges
A dental bridge is a false tooth anchored to adjacent natural teeth, filling gaps and revitalising your smile.
The process of getting a dental bridge depends on the condition of your teeth and gums, as well as the type of bridge chosen. Generally, your dentist will begin with a thorough examination and x-rays, addressing any gum disease or tooth decay before proceeding. It’s essential that the site and two abutment teeth are healthy enough to support the bridge.
To prepare, your dentist will reshape the abutment teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel to create space for the crowns. Impressions of the teeth will then be taken and sent to a laboratory, where customised crowns and a false tooth are crafted to fit your smile.
At the end of this visit, a temporary bridge will be placed to protect the area and allow you to eat and drink comfortably while waiting for your permanent bridge.
During the follow-up appointment, the temporary bridge will be replaced with the permanent one, secured with dental cement. Your dentist will make adjustments to ensure it fits your bite properly and feels comfortable.

Dental crowns
A dental crown is a cap that covers a damaged tooth, enhancing its appearance and safeguarding the natural tooth structure.
Dental crown placement can be a longer procedure, especially if you require additional fillings to support the crown. Before the procedure at K Family Dental, the dentist will first request an X-ray. This will enable them to get a clear view of the tooth structure and assess the current condition of the teeth, as well as inform you of how many visits may be needed. If a root canal treatment (RCT) is required, you will be advised accordingly.
If your teeth are in good condition and your overall oral health is adequate, your dentist at K Family Dental will then discuss the crown placement procedure with you. At the beginning of the procedure, the area for the crown will be numbed to ensure comfort, as specialized instruments will be used during the procedure. The surrounding gums, as well as the tooth, are numbed in preparation for the procedure.
The dentist will then place the crown. Dental crowns can be made of various materials, and your dentist will discuss the best options with you. If a root canal treatment is needed before crown placement, a temporary crown will be placed during the healing period. This will later be replaced with a permanent crown at K Family Dental.
Dental crowns and bridges are also available as treatment options for patients who have missing teeth at K Family Dental. Dental bridges can be used to restore the gap left by missing teeth, offering a solution that enhances dental function and appearance.

Why do people get dental crowns and bridges?
Some people may have structural problems with their teeth. Their teeth may be broken, or cracked, or they could be chipped as well. For such people, dental crowning is a great treatment option. If such structural dental problems exist, then the potential for other problems, such as oral infections as well as tooth decay, start as well.
An oral bacterial infection, for example, could affect diabetic patients, as well as those with heart problems. You may also need a dental crown after an RCT, or root canal therapy. Sometimes, the hole that is left by the root canal treatment, requires a dental filling. The filling can be a site of oral infection, and could cause further damage, which is why it needs to be filled. Dental crowns and bridges serve to protect both the teeth, as well as the gums.
Getting dental crowns or bridges is an outpatient procedure at K Family Dental that can help restore any gaps in your teeth and provide support for weakened teeth. Crowns and bridges are beneficial in maintaining your smile’s integrity and supporting oral health. Consider booking an appointment with K Family Dental to discuss if dental crowns or bridges are right for you today.
