Restorative Dentistry

People today will not be having any shortage of dental procedures with them being made readily available for their clients. The variety of options makes it possible for dentists to be able to cater to the different needs and preferences of each and every one of their patients.

The added number of dental procedures however, can also lead to confusion especially to newcomers. Dental crowns and bridges for example, may feel like the same procedure but there are a few differences that helps set them apart from each other.

As mentioned earlier, a tooth crown and dental bridge offer similar features with them being primarily used as fixed prosthetic devices. Both of these procedures require them to be cemented onto existing teeth or implants.

This in turn can make them impossible to remove on your own requiring the assistance of a dentist.Dental Crowns and Bridges available here in our Sydney clinic.

The main difference between dental crowns and tooth bridge is that the former is used to strengthen a damaged tooth while the latter is utilised to fill an area left vacant by a missing tooth. As a result, those who have a broken or chipped tooth will often be advised to get a tooth cap in an effort to improve its appearance, shape or alignment.

On the other hand, a tooth bridge is advised to prevent the imbalance caused by missing teeth which can lead to further issues such as gum diseases and other related complications in the future.
