Crowns & Bridges

Crowns & Bridges

Custom-crafted crowns and bridges that restore strength, function, and appearance to damaged or missing teeth using durable, natural-matching dental materials.

Our Approach to Care

• Crowns and bridges are reliable restorative solutions used to repair damaged teeth or replace missing ones while restoring both function and appearance
• Dr. Saurabh Rawat recommends dental crowns for teeth that are significantly decayed, cracked, weakened after root canal treatment, or cosmetically compromised
• A crown fully covers the visible portion of a tooth, providing strength, protection, and a natural appearance using materials such as porcelain, zirconia, or metal-ceramic
• Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth, or pontic, to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants
• This prevents surrounding teeth from shifting out of position, a common issue when gaps from missing teeth are left untreated for extended periods
• The treatment process typically involves preparing the affected teeth, taking precise digital or physical impressions, and fabricating a custom restoration in a dental lab
• Materials are carefully selected to match the color, shape, and translucency of natural teeth, ensuring the restoration blends seamlessly with the rest of the smile
• Crowns and bridges are designed for durability, capable of withstanding normal biting and chewing forces for many years with proper care
• Precise fitting is essential to ensure comfort, proper bite alignment, and prevention of food trapping or gum irritation around the restoration
• Patients receive guidance on maintaining their crowns and bridges through good oral hygiene practices and regular dental visits
• These restorations not only improve function but also restore confidence by creating a complete, natural-looking smile
