Crown & Bridge (Metal, Ceramic, Zirconia)
Crown and Bridge is a widely sought after dental procedure. The choice of material for the crown or bridge is a crucial one, as it affects various aspects such as strength, durability, color, tooth structure removal, shape, and size, as well as the number of teeth involved.
Patients have several options to choose from, including metal, ceramic, and zirconia. Metal options include gold and silver, with gold being the strongest but also the most expensive, while silver is a cost-effective option that can tarnish over time. Ceramic offers an attractive appearance, blending well with the natural tooth color, but is not as durable as metal and can break or chip under heavy force. Zirconia, being the strongest choice, also closely resembles natural tooth structure but comes at a premium price.
When making your selection, it is important to consider both functionality and appearance. Dr. Sangeeta Mehta at Shrey Dental Clinic will help guide you in selecting the best material for your specific needs.
