Crowns and bridges

What are crowns and bridges?

A crown is the visible part of the tooth. Sometimes it is necessary to replace it. You will then receive an artificial crown that approximates the appearance of a natural tooth through the use of the imitation material porcelain. Thanks to this durable material and the expertise of the dentists at Vast Tebit In 1 Dag, you can smile again.

For example, the dentist recommends a crown to:

To replace a large filling when there is not enough of the tooth left;

To protect a weak tooth or molar against breakage;

To repair a broken tooth;

To attach a bridge;

To cover an implant;

To cover a discolored or incorrectly shaped tooth;
To protect a tooth on which a root canal treatment has been performed.

How are crowns and bridges made?

Before a crown or bridge can be made, the teeth in question must be ground down so that the crown or bridge fits well. After grinding, the dentist makes an impression so that a precisely fitting mold can be made for the crown or bridge. If porcelain is used, the dentist will determine the correct color, which matches the color of your own teeth. Using the impression, a dental laboratory produces the crown or bridge in the desired material.

A temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect the prepared teeth until the permanent crown or bridge is ready. Finally, the permanent crown or bridge is attached to the teeth with cement.

How long do crowns and bridges last?

In principle, crowns and bridges can last a lifetime, but sometimes they become loose or fall out. The most important contribution you can make to the lifespan of your crowns and bridges is good oral hygiene. A bridge loses its support when the adjacent teeth or jawbone are affected by tooth decay. Keep your gums and teeth healthy by brushing twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily.

Visit the dentist or dental hygienist regularly for check-ups and tartar removal. To avoid damaging your crown or bridge, do not chew hard food, ice, or other hard objects.
