CROWN AND BRIDGES IN PUNE
Crown and Bridge in Pune
Crown and bridge is a long-term method of replacing missing teeth.
If your tooth is severely damaged due to decay, cracked teeth or trauma than you may need a treatment.
A crown is placed on an individual tooth, (somewhat like a thimble over your finger) where there is no longer sufficient tooth structure left to place a filling.
One option to replacing missing teeth when teeth exist on either side of the space is a bridge. A bridge spans a space where one or more teeth have been lost in the Dental arch. The teeth on either end of the span are crowned, and are referred to as abutments. The false teeth in a bridge that join the abutments are referred to as pontics. Both esthetics (appearance) and function are considered when selecting the material most suitable for you.
Crown and bridge fit completely over the affected teeth. To prepare for a crown or bridge, the tooth is prepared by being trimmed down (reduced) to accommodate the crown or bridge. The crown or bridge restores the size, shape and look of your tooth, and more importantly restores function.

A Dental bridge is a device used to replace a missing tooth by placing an artificial tooth between two adjacent teeth and permanently affixing it to the adjacent teeth. There are several types of Dental bridges, but each is custom-made to fit the patient’s arch. Dental bridges require that the two teeth adjacent to the missing tooth be shaped to accept the bridge. Crowns are placed on the shaped teeth and attached to the new artificial tooth, forming a bridge.
Q5: When are Dental bridges used?If a single tooth is missing between two other teeth, a Dental bridge can be used. For years, the Dental bridge was the most reliable way to replace a single missing tooth. Today, advances in Dental implants make them a popular choice for replacing a single tooth because a Dental implant in Pune doesn’t impact the adjacent teeth and preserves the bone in the area of the missing tooth.
Q6: Why Replace Missing Teeth with a Dental bridge?Losing a tooth can be of social and psychological concern. When a permanent tooth is lost, the neighboring teeth are affected. Because the support and chewing forces are altered, the remaining teeth will begin to shift. The tooth above or below the one that was lost will begin to move up and out of its socket. This accelerates periodontal (gum) disease and causes further breakdown in the Dental arch. If the missing tooth is not replaced, more teeth will eventually be lost, due to the improper forces exerted during chewing.
Q7: What are the alternatives to Dental bridges?Dental clinic are the standard of care for replacing missing teeth today. With Dental implants, you can choose a single tooth implant, restore several missing teeth or restore all your teeth.
