Crowns and bridges
Crown and bridges are like a protective cap or covering for a tooth. This means they should last many years and you don’t want to go back to the dentist every few years to replace your fillings, crowns and bridges.
As such, Dental Gigi has invested in our very own:
- CEREC technology
- Intra Oral Scanner
- OPG
- Cone Beam Technology.
We daresay majority of dental clinics would not have access to this technology all at the same time. This means you get your crowns made on the same day with the latest CEREC technology in house. Basically its a walk in, walk out crown session. We are able to use this technology for our fillings too which means that our patients get fillings which last longer and with less chance of cracks and decay. We focus on quality so that our patients get the very best treatment.
At the same time you would be surprised that because we have this technology, our patients end up paying less. Why? There is no third party lab which we need to pay to make these crowns. Everything is done in house by the latest CEREC technology. We have a variety of crown and bridge materials for you to choose from including Emax, Zirconia, Gold, Porcelain Fused to Metal amongst others. This will depend on which is best suited in your cases. Come in for our comprehensive exam and check to work out what works best for you.
What are crowns and bridges
Crowns are designed to provide a one piece coverage for a variety of reasons:
- Root canal procedures
- Heavily broken down teeth
- Better aesthetics and better looking teeth
- Better longevity
- Less chance of reoccurring decay
- Less chance of tooth fracture
- Serve as a abutment for a denture
Bridges are basically longer span crowns that replace a missing space between teeth.
They are however often not so suited for multiple missing teeth. In those case implants could be a better option. See section under “Implants”.
