Metal Crown

What is it?
A fixed partial denture, commonly known as a bridge, is a prosthetic device that replaces one or more missing teeth by attaching to the adjacent natural teeth or implants.

About Metal Crown

A fixed partial denture, or bridge, consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) supported by dental crowns placed on the adjacent natural teeth or implants. The bridge fills the gap created by missing teeth, restoring function, appearance, and bite. Bridges are made from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal and are designed to blend with natural teeth. They provide a stable and long-lasting solution for tooth replacement.

How it Works

Adjacent teeth or implants are prepared to support the bridge.
Molds of the mouth are taken to create a custom bridge.
The bridge is fabricated and attached to the prepared teeth or implants.
Adjustments are made to ensure a comfortable fit and proper bite.

Who are ideal candidates for treatment:

  • Individuals with one or more missing teeth who have healthy adjacent teeth or implants for support.
  • Those seeking a fixed, non-removable solution for tooth replacement.
  • People looking to restore the function and appearance of their smile.
  • Adults with good oral health and sufficient tooth structure to support the bridge.
  • Patients who want a durable and aesthetically pleasing option for replacing missing teeth.
  • Individuals who prefer a solution that does not require removal for cleaning.
