Dental Crown and Bridges Treatment in Rajkot At Harsha hospital, we strive to be as conservative as possible. It’s the responsible way to conduct dentistry. In the old days, it used to be “Crown or Filling” was the only restoration option from your family dentist. Now, with advancements in adhesion protocols and porcelain systems we can offer more conservative options like inlays and onlays. In certain instances where we are replacing an existing crown or there is a lot of decay or damage to the tooth the best option might be a full coverage crown. We advised NO METAL. Nothing replicates natural enamel and dentin better than ceramic and zirconia.
In the past, the systems for producing high-quality porcelain restorations were weaker, thus the base of the crown had to be made of metal, then porcelain was fused to that metal. That metal can show through gum tissue, leaving an unsightly dark line at the base of the tooth. With modern-day porcelain systems, metal is no longer necessary. At Harsha hospital we do not advised to do metal crowns for two big reasons:

WHAT IS A DENTAL CROWN?
A crown is a cap covering a tooth, mimicking the exact anatomy of a regular tooth. It is given for the protection of a damaged tooth. Crowns are most commonly given after a root canal treatment to prevent further damage. Crowns help restore normal function by restoring normal anatomy.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CROWNS?
- Metal crowns : These crowns are made up of metal alloys. These can be cast metal, gold alloy, cobalt-chromium, stainless steel, etc. They are metallic in appearance and are not aesthetic. Hence they are not recommended for anterior aesthetic regions. We do not advise getting a metal crown at Harsha Hospital.
- Metal ceramic crown : These crowns have a metal base on which ceramic is layered to give them a tooth-like appearance. These crowns are aesthetic and durable due to their metal base. But when given in the anterior region, the dark hue of the underlying metal may be visible. Harsha Hospitals provide Metal ceramic crowns in Rajkot.
- Zirconia crowns : These crowns are made of zirconium oxides, making the crown look completely natural, mimicking natural teeth' aesthetics. This material has flexural strength as high as metal-ceramic restorations but has an excellent aesthetic and natural look due to its translucency. Being metal-free, it has no chance of gingival darkening and exposure of metal margins when gums recede. These are also the most Robust material available for people with bruxism or grinding habits as they do not wear off. Thorough colour penetration till the restorations ensures higher shade consistency and limits any variation after occlusal adjustment. Zirconia crowns are done by 90% of our patients in Rajkot at Harsha Hospital.
- E.max crowns : E.max crowns are the next generation ceramic crowns made of advancedpressed ceramic formulated from lithium disilicate crystals. It has greater strength and natural-looking aesthetics. It is metal-free and biocompatible, eliminating dark margins
- Gold crowns : Full cast gold metal crowns are known to be the most wear-friendly materials available. They remain in the mouth as it is without any wear or tear for years. Though they are known for their longevity and durability, they are not aesthetic and prefer posterior regions. It is also essential to avoid these in patients with specific metal or alloy allergies.
Crowns can be made either in multiple visits when fabricated by the lab or on the same day when manufactured using CAD-CAM technology. Crowns or bridges are routinely done after a root canal procedure; however, they are also done after the placement of dental implants at Harsha Hospital.
At Harsha hospital, we strive to be as conservative as possible. In the old days, “Crown or Fillings” were the only restoration option recommended by your family dentist in Rajkot. With advancements in adhesion protocols and porcelain systems, we can offer more conservative options like inlays and Onlays in Rajkot. In certain instances where we are replacing an existing
crown, or there is a lot of decay or damage to the tooth, the best option might be a full-coverage crown. We do not advise METAL crowns generally. Nothing replicates natural enamel and dentin better than ceramic and zirconia crowns. Hence, these ceramic and zirconia crowns look better, more realistic, and long-lasting.
At Harsha hospital, we do not recommend metal or metal-ceramic crowns for two main reasons:
● There is no way to replicate nature when metal is underneath the porcelain. It
completely changes the way the light reflects and refracts from the ceramics.
● The human body does not adapt well to any other metal except titanium.

What Is A Bridge?
Dental bridges are fixed prosthodontic treatment, which involves replacing the missing tooth with a fake tooth, set to the neigh bouring natural teeth using crowns. Like a bridge, two pillars support the hanging portion; dental bridges have two or more crowns fixed on the adjacent natural tooth to support the fake middle tooth called pontic. These bridges are customized and fabricated in the laboratory to fit the teeth perfectly and are fixed; hence cannot be removed by the patient.
WHO CAN GET DENTAL BRIDGES?
Anyone who has their front or back teeth missing can avail of dental bridges as long they have healthy teeth on both sides of the missing tooth or teeth. And yes, of course, one can have more than one tooth replaced too!! A dentist will need to evaluate the adjoining Teeth for support. It is essential to replace missing teeth as it improves the overall appearance considerably if replacing front teeth. Furthermore, gaps in posterior teeth can be very detrimental as they affect speech and hinder proper chewing. Due to missing teeth, the chewing forces are improperly distributed among the other teeth putting inadvertent stress and ultimately weakening gums and periodontal breakdown!!! Harsha hospital is the best place to avail dental bridges in Rajkot.
WHAT ARE THE VARIOUS TYPES OF DENTAL BRIDGES?
Dental bridges can either be tooth-supported or implant-supported. For tooth-supported bridges, tooth preparation is done to fabricate the prosthesis in the lab customized to the preparation margins. The bridge derives support from the implants placed in the first step for
implant-supported bridges.
A dental impression is taken for both varieties, and models are sent to the lab for fabrication. With the advent of digital dentistry and newer advanced technology in place, dentists are doing away with alginate impressions and shifting to intraoral digital scans to create 3D simulated models. This facilitates an easy and quick transfer of the 3D models to the labs, thus saving time and increasing the accuracy, precision, and predictability of the prosthesis, and improving
the job’s efficiency. Labs use CAD-CAM technology to create stunning prostheses with superior quality and accuracy.
