When a tooth is too damaged for a filling but still has a viable root, a dental crown gives it a new outer shell — restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. When a tooth is missing entirely, a bridge uses the neighbouring teeth as anchors to fill the gap. At Blossom Dental Clinic in Bodakdev, Ahmedabad, we use tooth-coloured, high-durability materials for restorations that look and function like natural teeth.
Dental Crowns — When Are They Needed?
A dental crown covers the entire visible portion of a tooth above the gumline. Common indications include:
- A tooth that has had root canal treatment (to prevent fracture)
- A severely cracked or broken tooth
- Large cavities where insufficient healthy tooth remains for a filling
- A tooth with a large, worn-down filling
- Cosmetic improvement of a misshapen or severely discoloured tooth
Modern crowns are typically made from zirconia or porcelain-fused-to-metal, chosen based on the location and function of the tooth.
Dental Bridges — Replacing Missing Teeth
A dental bridge spans the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It is supported by crowns placed on the teeth on either side of the gap, with a false tooth in between.
Bridges are a fixed, non-removable solution — cemented in place and functioning like natural teeth. They are particularly well-suited when the adjacent teeth already need crowns, or when implants are not preferred.
The Crown or Bridge Process
- Preparation — The tooth is shaped to create space for the crown. An impression is taken.
- Temporary Crown — A temporary restoration protects the tooth while your permanent crown is fabricated.
- Fitting — The permanent crown is checked for fit, bite, and appearance, then cemented into place.
The process typically takes two appointments over 1–2 weeks.
