A crown is a permanent covering, that fits over an original tooth that is either decayed, damaged, cracked or RCT treated tooth.
Bridge is a dental prosthesis that fills a space that a tooth has occupied previously.
A dental bridge is a false tooth. It replaces the space of the missing teeth. This process is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Full Mouth Bridge can also be made by this procedure.
A fixed bridge cannot take out of your mouth as you might do with a removable partial denture. It remains fixed in your mouth all the time.
In some patients, we give a Temporary crown which is not strong. They may break or come off occasionally. If so, put it back on the tooth with some Fixodent (Denture Adhesive) and call us for an appointment. Please do not leave the temporary out of your mouth because the teeth will move and the final restoration will not fit. Please do not floss around your temporary crown. The size, shape, and color of the temporary does not resemble the final restoration.
Temporary restorations may leak saliva or food into the tooth. Sensitivity to hot, cold, and sweets is common. If you feel the bite is not correctly balanced, please call us for an appointment for a simple adjustment.
After the final cementation of your restoration, it may take a few days to get used to the new crown or bridge. Hot and cold sensitivity is possible for a few weeks and may remain for several months. As with the temporary, if the bite doesn’t feel balanced then please call us.
After treatment do not chew hard or sticky foods on the restoration for 24 hours from the time they were cemented. The cement may set up during this time to have optimum strength.
Proper brushing, flossing, and regular 6-month (minimum) cleanings are required to help you to retain your final restoration.
The only area that a crowned tooth can decay is at the gum line. Often, small problems that develop around the restorations can be found at an early stage and corrected easily, but waiting for a longer time may require redoing the entire restoration.
