DENTAL CROWN & BRIDGE

Dental Crowns and Bridges in Dubai

Dental crowns are fixed prosthetic devices used to restore compromised teeth, improve shape, appearance, and function, or are placed over dental implants. Dental bridges help replace gaps left by missing teeth, ensuring you maintain your bite and smile aesthetics.

Importance:

If a crown is not placed when recommended, the tooth becomes susceptible to fracture, potentially leading to more extensive treatments.

Types of Crowns:

1. Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns

PFM crowns combine a strong metal base with a natural porcelain exterior, offering durability and aesthetic appeal. They are a cost-effective option for both front and back teeth.

Benefits: Strong, affordable, long-lasting
Ideal for: Patients seeking strength and aesthetics

2. E-Max Crowns (Lithium Disilicate)

E-Max crowns are crafted from lithium disilicate, providing exceptional strength while maintaining a natural look. They require minimal tooth removal, preserving tooth structure.

Benefits: Ultra-natural appearance, durable, minimally invasive
Ideal for: Front and premolar teeth

3. Zirconia Crowns

Zirconia crowns are known for high strength and biocompatibility, making them ideal for patients needing long-lasting crowns with a natural tooth look.

Benefits: Extremely strong, metal-free, aesthetic
Ideal for: Molars, patients with metal allergies

4. All-Ceramic or All-Porcelain Crowns

All-ceramic crowns offer the best natural color match and are metal-free, making them a preferred choice for patients prioritizing aesthetics and biocompatibility.

Benefits: Excellent aesthetics, metal-free
Ideal for: Front teeth restorations

5. Temporary Crowns

Temporary dental crowns are used while your permanent crown is being custom-made, protecting the tooth during this period.

Benefits: Tooth protection until permanent crown placement
Ideal for: Patients awaiting lab-fabricated crowns

6. Gold Crowns

Gold crowns, while less commonly chosen today, are highly valued for their unmatched durability and longevity, especially on back teeth that handle strong bite forces.

Benefits: Extremely durable, long-lasting
Ideal for: Patients needing strong molar coverage

If you are researching the best options and want to know the tooth crown price in Dubai, it varies depending on the type of material used and the complexity of the case.

PROCEDURE:

At Crossroads dental clinic, Dubai, the procedure involves reducing the size of the tooth and recording impressions and photographs, which are shared with a dental lab. The final crown is fitted within 2–3 days after confirming bite, contacts, margins, and shade, followed by cementation using intermediate or final cements.

Indications For Crowns:

Covering dental implants
Protecting brittle teeth after root canal treatment
Strengthening fractured or largely filled teeth
Improving tooth shape and function

Dental Bridge:

While dental implants are the ideal solution for missing teeth, a fixed bridge jacket crown offers an effective alternative for replacing missing teeth while restoring function and aesthetics. These bridges typically use PFM or Zirconia materials, similar to single crowns, while E-Max is not recommended for bridges due to its strength limitations.

If not treated:

Missing teeth spaces can cause neighboring teeth to rotate, drift, or migrate, while opposing teeth may supra-erupt into the space. This can lead to space loss, bite disturbances, periodontal issues, and TMJ disorders.
