Dentures are the most common types of dentures. If several permanent teeth are damaged or missing, a dental bridge can be used to restore them, and a crown can be used to cover the damaged teeth. The purpose of such a prosthesis is to restore from one tooth to 4-5 teeth. The main advantages of Dental Crowns and Bridges in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah are the availability of materials and the very easy application.
What is a Dental Crown and Bridge?
A crown is a prosthetic made in a laboratory that restores the texture and appearance of a tooth. The application usually takes two rounds. At first, the tooth is polished to provide enough space, measured, and made. In the second round, an artificial crown is placed on the teeth, made in the laboratory.
A bridge can be attached to a tooth next to the missing tooth location. Such a prosthesis can replace one or more missing teeth, creating a bridge from scratch. The installation requires grinding teeth nearby and positioning them. Prosthetics are indicated when it is not possible to replace a missing tooth with an implant.
Results:

Benefits:
