Our cosmetic dentistry office in Sofia, Bulgaria uses superior materials to construct patients’ crowns and bridges. They are aesthetically appealing, made of metal-free ceramic and constructed with non-hazardous elements that are allergy and carcinogen-free. Our dental clinic in Sofia uses the same materials to restore damaged crowns and missing bridges.

Crowns

Crowns are a permanent option that consists of a covering fitted over your original tooth that is either damaged, decayed or cracked. During a treatment plan for a crown, the following steps take place:

1. The tooth is numbed in order to remove decay existing around it.

2. The tooth is re-sculpted so that the crown can securely fit onto the tooth..

3. An impression of the tooth is made to construct a custom crown (this portion of the procedure takes approximately one to two weeks).

4. A temporary crown is made from acrylic resin and then fitted onto the tooth while the permanent crown is in production.

5.The permanent crown is applied (when it’s received back from the lab), the temporary crown is removed and the permanent crown is fitted to the tooth.

6. Once our dentist in Sofia confirms that the crown has the proper look and fit, it will be cemented into its fixed place. There is generally a minimum of two to three visits required for this process that will occur over a period of three to four weeks.

Bridges

A bridge is a dental device that fills a space previously occupied by a tooth. Unlike with our dental implants, there is no specific jaw density for the placement of dental bridges. If you’re missing one or several teeth and you are not an ideal candidate for dental implants, then a fixed bridge is likely the best solution for your tooth replacement needs. Our cosmetic dentistry office abroad utilizes bridges to help patients prevent:

• Teeth from shifting, which can lead to severe bite complications, jaw problems and periodontal disease.

• The deterioration of existing teeth by safeguarding their integrity for a vibrant healthy smile.

Whether you receive a crown or a bridge, proper dental hygiene is essential in order to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
