A dental bridge, on the other hand, is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) between two crowns placed on adjacent healthy teeth or implants. This not only restores the smile but also prevents neighboring teeth from shifting, maintains facial structure, and helps in chewing and speaking clearly.
The process typically involves two appointments. During the first visit, Dr. Niyati Shah will prepare the teeth, take precise impressions, and place a temporary crown or bridge. These impressions are sent to a dental lab to fabricate the final restoration. Once ready, the permanent crown or bridge is carefully fitted, adjusted for bite alignment, and securely cemented.
Crowns and bridges at Shining Smiles come with a 5 to 10-year warranty, a testament to the clinic’s commitment to quality materials, expert craftsmanship, and proper care protocols. With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, these restorations can last well beyond a decade.
This treatment is ideal for patients with broken, worn, or severely decayed teeth, as well as those with missing teeth. Dr. Shah ensures each restoration is tailored to individual needs, offering strength, durability, and a natural appearance.
By combining clinical precision with aesthetic excellence, Dr. Niyati Shah helps patients regain their smiles and confidence. Whether you need to restore a single tooth or multiple teeth, crown and bridge treatments offer a reliable, long-term solution backed by experience and advanced technology.
