Consultation & Preparation: Your dentist examines the area and prepares the tooth (or anchor teeth for a bridge) by reshaping it to make room for the restoration.
Impression & Shade-Matching: A precise digital scan or physical impression of the prepared teeth is taken. Your dentist will also perfectly match the shade of the crown or bridge to your surrounding natural teeth.
Temporary Restoration: A temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect the prepared teeth while your permanent restoration is being fabricated in the dental laboratory.
Final Placement: In your final appointment, the temporary restoration is removed. The permanent crown or bridge is checked for a perfect fit, bite, and aesthetic match before being permanently cemented into place.
Benefits:
Restore and Protect Teeth: Crowns protect weak teeth from further damage and restore the full function of broken or severely decayed teeth.
Replace Missing Teeth: Bridges provide a stable, non-removable solution to fill gaps, restoring your smile and ability to chew.
Aesthetic Improvement: Both are used to vastly improve a smile’s appearance by covering discolored, misshapen, or damaged teeth.
Long-Lasting: Made from durable materials like Zirconia, they are a strong and reliable long-term solution.
Prevent Tooth Shifting: Bridges prevent adjacent teeth from drifting into the empty space, which can cause bite problems.
Recovery Time: There is virtually no recovery time needed for crown and bridge procedures. Some patients may experience mild, temporary sensitivity to hot or cold for a few days after the permanent restoration is placed, but this typically subsides quickly.
Aftercare:
Maintain excellent oral hygiene with daily brushing and flossing.
For bridges, it is crucial to clean underneath the artificial tooth using a floss threader or water flosser to prevent plaque buildup.
Avoid chewing on extremely hard items like ice, hard candy, or pens to prevent chipping the restoration.
Continue with regular six-month dental check-ups and professional cleanings.
Symptoms Indicating a Need for Crowns or Bridges:
A tooth with a large cavity that cannot be fixed with a simple filling.
A severely cracked, broken, chipped, or worn-down tooth.
A tooth that is misshapen or permanently discolored.
A tooth that has undergone a root canal (which requires a crown for protection).
One or more missing teeth with healthy teeth on either side of the gap (for a bridge).
Common Causes:
Extensive tooth decay.
Physical injury or trauma to the teeth.
Chronic teeth grinding (bruxism).
Weakness in a tooth following a root canal procedure.
Age-related wear and tear.
Diagnosis: The need for a crown or bridge is diagnosed through a thorough clinical examination and dental X-rays. The dentist visually assesses the tooth's structural integrity and the health of the surrounding gums. X-rays are used to evaluate the health of the tooth's roots and the underlying bone structure, ensuring they are strong enough to support the restoration.
Treatment: Once diagnosed, the treatment involves preparing the specified teeth and creating a custom-fit restoration. The treatment plan will include selecting the best material for your needs—such as high-strength Zirconia for its durability on back teeth, or layered E-MAX porcelain for its superior aesthetics on front teeth—to ensure a functional and natural-looking final result.
What materials are used in Cairo's top clinics? Our partner clinics use advanced, metal-free ceramics. Zirconia is renowned for its exceptional strength and durability, making it perfect for molars. E-MAX is a type of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic prized for its life-like translucency and aesthetic qualities, making it the top choice for front teeth.
How long do they last? With proper care and good oral hygiene, high-quality crowns and bridges can be expected to last for 15 years or more.
