Crowns, Bridges and Dentures: What Is the Difference?

❖Dental crown: a cap that covers and protects a single damaged, weak or root-canal-treated tooth, restoring its shape, strength and appearance.
❖Dental bridge: replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the crowns on the natural teeth (or implants) on either side of the gap.
❖Complete denture: a removable set of artificial teeth that replaces all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
❖Partial denture: a removable appliance that replaces some missing teeth and clips onto the natural teeth that remain.

When Might You Need One?

✓A tooth is badly decayed, cracked or worn and a filling is no longer enough
✓A tooth has had root canal treatment in Indore and needs protection
✓You have lost one or more teeth to decay, gum disease or an injury
✓You want to improve the shape or appearance of a discoloured or misshapen tooth
✓Your existing crown, bridge or denture is worn, loose or uncomfortable

Missing teeth can also be replaced with dental implants in Indore. Your dentist will explain which option suits your teeth, gums and bone.

What to Expect During Treatment

The steps differ for each restoration, and most need more than one visit.

Examination and planning: a check-up and X-rays to assess the tooth, gums and bone, followed by a treatment plan and your options.
Preparation: for a crown or bridge, the tooth is shaped under local anaesthesia so the restoration fits over it. For a denture, the gums are checked and any problem teeth are treated first.
Impressions or scans: a model of your teeth is taken so the restoration can be made to fit your bite and your smile.
Fitting and adjustment: the crown, bridge or denture is fitted, checked for comfort and bite, and adjusted where needed.
Follow-up: a review to make sure everything is comfortable and to answer your questions.

Caring for Your Crown, Bridge or Denture

✓Brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and clean between your teeth daily
✓Clean under a bridge with floss threaders or interdental brushes as your dentist shows you
✓Clean dentures every day and remove them when advised, as your dentist explains
✓Avoid biting very hard objects such as ice or hard sweets with a crown or bridge
✓Attend regular check-ups so that any wear, loosening or gum problems are caught early

Crowns, Bridges and Dentures in Indore: Your Questions Answered

A well-made crown can last many years, but the exact time depends on the material, the tooth, your bite, your oral hygiene and habits such as grinding your teeth. Regular check-ups help your dentist spot wear or problems early.

The tooth is numbed with local anaesthesia while it is being prepared, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Some sensitivity for a few days afterwards is common, and your dentist will tell you how to manage it.

With a well-fitting bridge you can eat most foods normally, although very hard or sticky foods are best avoided. Dentures may feel different at first, so start with soft foods cut into small pieces and build up gradually.

It commonly takes some days to a few weeks to get used to new dentures, and small adjustments are often needed for comfort. Speak to your dentist if dentures rub, slip or cause sore spots, because they can usually be adjusted.

Brush your natural teeth twice a day, clean under a bridge with floss threaders or interdental brushes, and clean dentures every day with a soft brush and a denture cleaner rather than ordinary toothpaste. Your dentist can show you the right technique.

A complete denture replaces all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while a partial denture replaces only some missing teeth and clips onto the natural teeth that remain. Your dentist will recommend the one that suits the number of teeth you have left.
