While certain dental issues leading to the need for crowns and bridges are unavoidable, preventive measures can help minimise the risk:

• Oral Hygiene: Maintaining excellent oral hygiene through regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups can prevent tooth decay and gum disease, reducing the need for crowns and bridges.
• Dietary Choices: A balanced diet low in sugary and acidic foods can safeguard your teeth from decay and other dental problems.
• Protection: Wearing mouthguards during contact sports or activities that risk dental injury can prevent cracked or fractured teeth.
• Regular Checkups: Routine dental checkups allow for early detection and prompt treatment of dental issues, potentially reducing the need for extensive restorative work.

Dental Crowns:

• Extensive Tooth Damage: When a tooth is severely damaged by decay, injury, or infection and cannot be restored with a filling, a crown is recommended.
• Cosmetic Concerns: If you have aesthetic concerns about the appearance of your teeth, crowns can enhance their shape, size, and colour.
• Post-Root Canal: Teeth that have undergone root canal therapy are often crowned to protect them from further damage.

Dental Bridges:

• Missing Teeth: Bridges are suggested when you have one or more missing teeth, and dental implants are not a preferred option.
• Preventing Tooth Shifting: To maintain proper tooth alignment and bite, bridges are used to fill the gaps left by missing teeth.

Dental Crowns: 

Examination: Your dentist will assess your tooth’s condition and prepare it by removing any decay or damaged portions.

• Impressions: Impressions of your tooth are taken to create a custom-fit crown.
• Temporary Crown: While your permanent crown is being crafted, you’ll wear a temporary crown to protect your tooth.
• Crown Placement: Once your custom crown is ready, it is securely bonded to your prepared tooth, restoring its function and appearance.

Dental Bridges: 

Evaluation: Your dentist will evaluate your oral health and the condition of neighbouring teeth to determine bridge suitability.

• Tooth Preparation: If needed, the adjacent teeth that will support the bridge are prepared by removing a portion of their enamel.
• Impressions: Impressions are taken to create a custom bridge.
• Bridge Placement: Your custom bridge is placed and bonded to the prepared teeth or attached to dental implants, effectively filling the gap left by missing teeth.
