A crown is a tooth-shaped cover or a cap that is placed on a broken or damaged tooth. A dental bridge covers a space if there is a missing tooth. A bridge has a crown on each side as an anchor with an artificial tooth that connects crowns and fills the space. A bridge can prevent your other teeth from moving out of place. Once a bridge is placed, it performs like your natural teeth.
At Healthy Teeth Dental Clinic & Implant Centre, we use all ceramic(porcelain), and porcelain touched (or fused) to metal crowns or full metal crowns depending upon patient’s requirement. To keep an entirely natural smile, Dr. Saurabh Gupta recommends all-ceramic crowns. Our accurate shade( color) matching system enable us to find the precise shade of ceramic (porcelain) to blend your natural tooth color and beautiful smile.
"All-ceramic crowns" means the entire crown made up of a pure ceramic material , which is a perfect choice and most natural-looking alternatives for front teeth of the mouth, but it is versatile for any section. The different types of ceramics used are Zirconia, Feldspathic porcelains, lithium disilicate glass-ceramic(EMAX CROWNS)
PFM crowns are made of two components with the core constructed out of metal. It is the inside part of the crown (also known as the substructure), which is placed and cemented on the tooth and a ceramic (porcelain) coating which is applied on top of the metal base crown, which has tooth-like color and shape. They are more indicated for non-aesthetic areas of the mouth because they are not as aesthetic as compared with all-ceramic crowns.
