Dental Crowns

Bangkok Dental Crowns, Thailand Porcelain Crowns Dental crowns are often called "dental caps" which cover and encase the tooth on which they are cemented. Since, dental crowns cover over the entire visible aspect of a tooth, a dental crown if effect becomes the tooth's new outer surface.

Dental crowns as a means to rebuild broken and decayed teeth to their original shape. Dental crowns are a way to strengthen teeth and method by which the cosmetic appearance of teeth can be improved.

Dental crowns can be made of porcelain, precious alloys (gold), or a combination of both. An complete ceramic crown can offers better color, translucency and appearance.

Dental Bridges

Bangkok Dental Bridges, Thailand Porcelain Bridges A bridge is used to replaces one or more natural missing teeth, thereby bridging the space between two teeth. A dental bridge is a false tooth, known as a pontic, which is fused between two dental crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth. The two crowns on the adjacent supporting teeth of the missing gaps are attached and holds it in place onto your teeth on each side of the pontic tooth.

Dental bridges, similar to dental crowns, can be made of porcelain, precious alloys (gold), or a combination of both. An complete ceramic bridge may be done on anterior teeth that offers good natural esthetics.
