Crowns & Bridges in Perumbakkam
A crown covers and protects a weakened tooth. A bridge fills a gap by anchoring an artificial tooth to neighbouring teeth or implants. The right choice depends on the health of the remaining teeth, the bite and how many teeth need replacing.
When you may need a crown
Crowns may be considered for a tooth with a large fracture, extensive restoration or after root canal treatment. We check whether enough healthy tooth remains and discuss material, appearance and cost before preparation.
Replacing a missing tooth with a bridge
A bridge can restore chewing and appearance without a removable plate. We assess the support teeth carefully; an implant may be a better choice when it avoids preparing healthy neighbouring teeth.
Looking after your restoration
Brush twice a day, clean around the crown edge and under a bridge as instructed, and attend routine reviews. Persistent pain or a loose restoration should be checked promptly.
Common questions
How is a bridge different from an implant?
A traditional bridge is supported by neighbouring teeth; an implant replaces the missing tooth root and supports its own crown. Suitability depends on your bone and adjacent teeth.
