Dental bridge and crowns

A dental bridge and crowns are what our experienced Hungarian dentists in Wexford recommend to restore missing or teeth that are damaged.

Dental bridges and crowns are our top choice to enhance teeth aesthetics and their oral function.

Both are classed as prosthetic devices, however there is a significant difference in how both are applied and their purpose.

What’s a dental bridge

Dentists call this prosthetic device a dental bridge, a bridge because it fills the gap that was created when one or more teeth went missing.

A dental bridge is made in our laboratory inside Perfect Smile Dental Clinic in Hungary, because we have our own laboratory we can fit dental bridges and crowns in one visit to the clinic.

Our technicians use artificial teeth (pontics) that are anchored by dental crowns.

These crowns are fixed to the adjacent teeth or the bridge can be supported by dental implants.

Fintan in Hungarian Dentists Wexford clinic can help you with any questions that you have regarding a dental bridge and crowns.

The cost for this restorative treatment in Perfect Smile Dental clinic near Budapest saves our patients from Ireland quite a bit of money.

Dental bridge and crowns features

The most suitable and cost effective solution for replacing missing teeth are dental bridges and crowns.

One important aspect of a dental bridge and crowns is the fact that where teeth are missing, functionality is restored, oral function is renewed, adjacent teeth are prevented from shifting.

The jawbone is preserved because the gaps are filled by the bridge and crowns, jawbone preservation is important to the integrity and structure of the facial bones.

Aesthetics are greatly enhanced by crowns particularly for front teeth, eating your favourite foods will be a pleasure again.

A dental bridge and crowns are designed in such a way as to closely match the shape and colour of your own natural teeth, we want the optimum results for our patients.

Bridges or dentures

If you ever had to wear old fashioned dentures and you decide to get a dental bridge and crowns the difference in both is like chalk and cheese.

A dental bridge is far better structured and efficient in terms of functionality compared to old fashioned dentures.

In situations where for one reason or another dental implants cannot be used, a dental bridge can provide a solution in terms of fixed replacement teeth

What’s a dental crown

To describe a dental crown in a few words is easy, a crown or cap is a permanent fixed prosthesis that is man made to cover and protect weak or damaged teeth.

Man-made in our dental laboratory in Perfect Smile Hungary to match the colour, size and shape of the tooth that it will be replacing.

Our experienced team in Perfect Smile Dental clinic in Hungary recommended crowns where:

• Several teeth are decayed
• The structure of the teeth is compromised
• Teeth are broken
• Fractured teeth
• Missing teeth
• Following root canal treatment

Crowns and bridges

The essential difference between crowns and bridges is, crowns are primarily used to restore and protect each damaged tooth.

On the other hand dental bridges are used to take the place of missing teeth, and at the same time a bridge fills the gaps between the healthy teeth.

Dental crowns are custom designed to restore and add a layer of protection to each individual tooth, dental bridges fill the gaps where up to four teeth are missing.

In order for a dental crown to be placed over a damaged tooth, some of the tooths enamel must be removed.

Similarly for dental a bridge to work the adjacent teeth must have some enamel removed to support the crowns.

A dental crown is a permanent fixed prosthetic, crowns are cemented in place and are non removable.

A dental bridge is also a fixed prosthetic that is bonded or cemented to the adjacent teeth or dental implants, providing a secure, stable, non removable treatment for missing teeth.

Which will work best for you

At Hungarian Dentists Wexford we recommend that you make a free consultation appointment by calling Fintan on 0873490104.

Our experienced team will complete a panoramic xray and thoroughly evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums.

The condition of your teeth is a big factor in determining whether dental bridges and or crowns are the best treatment for you.

For example, dental crowns may well be the best option if you have one tooth damaged or weak or if more than one tooth is damaged or weak.

A dental bridge may be the best treatment for you if more than one tooth is missing in a row.

A bridge will restore those teeth and retain the remaining alignment.

Your oral health plays a part in the advice that our experienced Hungarian dentists will give you.

The condition of your remaining teeth and gums is important so we need to assess both as to their suitability for holding a dental bridge.

How long do they last

A dental bridge and crowns are custom made to be durable and to last.

How each patient practises everyday oral hygiene, avoids teeth grinding, flossing, using a mouthwash are all important to the longevity of the treatment.
