Dental Crowns & Bridges
The Art of Restoration: Dental Crowns & Bridges
Preserving Your Natural Strength
When a tooth is damaged by decay, trauma, or a root canal, its structural integrity is compromised. A standard filling is often not enough to withstand the immense forces of chewing (up to 200 lbs of pressure). Dental Crowns act as a protective "helmet," encasing the entire tooth to restore its original shape, strength, and function, preventing future fractures.
Bridging the Gap
Missing a tooth does more than affect your smile—it causes adjacent teeth to drift, leading to bite collapse and gum disease. A Dental Bridge is a time-tested solution that uses strong, healthy teeth on either side of a gap to anchor a replacement tooth. It is a fixed, non-removable solution that restores your ability to chew and speak with confidence.
Material Excellence: The Zirconia Difference
At Olīva Dental, we have moved beyond the era of black metal lines near the gums. We specialize in Metal-Free Zirconia and E-max Crowns.
Unmatched Durability: Zirconia is known as "ceramic steel"—virtually unbreakable and biocompatible.
Natural Aesthetics: These materials are translucent, meaning they reflect light exactly like natural tooth enamel. Even up close, no one will know it is a restoration.
Why Choose a Prosthodontist?
Placing a crown is not just about "covering a tooth." It requires an architect's eye. Dr. Dhirender J, as a Prosthodontist, ensures:
Precision Fit: To prevent bacteria from leaking underneath.
Perfect Occlusion: Adjusting the bite so the new crown doesn't cause jaw pain or damage opposing teeth.
Gum Health: Contouring the crown to ensure your gums remain pink and healthy around it.
