Crowns cover your tooth completely. Bridges replace a missing tooth by using adjacent teeth for support.
Dental crowns provide strength and restore the tooth’s natural appearance and function. Crowns are an excellent solution for teeth that have been broken, weakened by large fillings, or fractured. Dental bridges can replace one or more teeth and are available in various materials and designs. A dental bridge is ideal when implant surgery isn’t possible or desired.
Dental Crown and Bridge Treatment Process
Numerous materials are available for dental crowns and bridges, ranging from full gold to porcelain-bonded to metal to full porcelain, with further options within each category. Our professional team of dentists will explain the benefits and options of each dental crown and bridge material to help you choose the best option for your smile.
Our cosmetic dentist will prepare the teeth for dental crown or bridge abutments under local anaesthetic. Preparation involves trimming and shaping the tooth to make it ideal for a crown or bridge. We will take an impression of the prepared tooth or teeth, the opposite jaw, and their interrelationship. We send the impression to our dental laboratory, along with detailed shading and design information, so they can fabricate your dental crown or bridge.
A dental laboratory in Singapore typically takes 1 to 2 weeks to fabricate your crown or bridge. You will receive a temporary prosthesis while you wait for your next fitting appointment.
Our dental team will schedule an appointment to check the prosthesis for fit and occlusion before cementing the dental crown or bridge into place. Minor adjustments may be necessary during the final fitting.
Cost for Dental Crown or Bridge in Singapore
Crown and bridge procedures are similar, with the first appointment to assess and prepare the tooth and the second visit to place the crown or bridge. Afterwards, caring for your crown or bridge is integral to maintaining your overall oral health, including any follow-up visits your dentist recommends to ensure your new crown or bridge functions as it should.
Dental crown costs vary, as do dental bridge costs in Singapore. Fees for crown and bridge work differ greatly depending upon design and material choice. A dental crown costs from $1,308 to $1,635 per tooth.
We invite you to schedule a consultation with our dentists at TEETH @ Tiong Bahru Dental Clinic in Singapore to discuss your specific needs and the costs associated with dental crown and bridge treatments.
