High-precision, durable crowns and bridges for tooth restoration.

A healthy and confident smile is essential for overall well-being. At Meenakshi Dental Clinic, we offer advanced dental crown and bridge treatments using CAD-CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology, ensuring precision, durability, and aesthetic appeal.

What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?

Dental crowns are custom-made caps placed over damaged, weakened, or aesthetically unpleasing teeth to restore their shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns protect the tooth structure and improve functionality, offering a long-lasting solution for decayed or fractured teeth.

Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth between natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges help maintain facial structure, prevent the shifting of adjacent teeth, and enhance chewing efficiency.

Benefits of CAD-CAM Crowns and Bridges

With CAD-CAM technology, dental restorations are designed digitally and fabricated with high precision, ensuring a superior fit and a natural appearance. Key advantages include:

• Accurate Fit and Comfort: Eliminates manual errors, providing a snug fit for long-term stability.
• Same-Day Restoration: Traditional crown and bridge treatments require multiple visits, but CAD-CAM allows for same-day solutions in many cases.
• Durability and Strength: Designed using high-quality ceramic or zirconia, ensuring long-lasting performance.
• Enhanced Aesthetics: Mimics the natural translucency and color of real teeth.
• Minimally Invasive Procedure: Preserves more of the natural tooth structure.
• Improved Hygiene: Precise design reduces plaque accumulation, promoting better oral health.

The CAD-CAM Procedure

1. Consultation and Digital Impressions: A thorough examination is conducted, and digital impressions are taken using an intraoral scanner for a precise 3D image of your teeth.
2. Designing the Crown or Bridge: The scanned image is processed using CAD software to create a customized restoration that matches the exact specifications of your natural teeth.
3. Milling and Fabrication: The restoration is carved from a high-quality ceramic or zirconia block using CAM technology, ensuring strength and accuracy.
4. Fitting and Final Adjustments: The crown or bridge is polished, shaded to match surrounding teeth, and securely bonded for a perfect fit.
5. Post-Treatment Care: Patients receive guidance on maintaining their new restoration, ensuring longevity and oral health.

Who Needs Crowns and Bridges?

Crowns and bridges are recommended for individuals with:

• Severely decayed or fractured teeth
• Root canal-treated teeth requiring reinforcement
• Discolored or misshapen teeth
• Missing teeth affecting speech, chewing, and aesthetics
• Gaps in teeth leading to misalignment issues

Aftercare and Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity of crowns and bridges. Patients are advised to:

• Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste
• Floss regularly to prevent plaque buildup around the restoration
• Avoid biting on excessively hard foods
• Schedule regular dental check-ups for professional cleaning and evaluation
