Crown and Bridge Treatments

INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR PATIENTS TO USE CROWNS AND PARTIAL DENTURES
The PORCELAIN CROWN or BRIDGE you use is made of Swiss porcelain, the state of the art dental material in 21st century. With a structure most similar to the dental enamel and bringing significant advantages in aesthetic terms, this material is also quite strong. Therefore, partial dentures produced by the book would most probably serve you for minimum 15-20 years unless your teeth on the lower jaw suffer any disease. No side effects are observed around the application point or within your mouth due to its glass-like texture.

CONVENIENCE

Having a quite high value due to their natural and aesthetic appearance, adaptation period for this type of prosthetics is very short as compared to that of removable ones and limited only to a few weeks.  At the end of this period, patients would not even realize the presence of such a prosthesis in their mouths.
- Patients’ sensitivity towards highly cold or hot food and beverages observed during the initial one to two weeks is mostly due to the recontouring process teeth has undergone for the crown or bridge. Therefore, you should avoid consuming too cold or too hot food or beverages after the adhesion of your partial dentures (within the first couple of weeks).

SPEECH

For bridges applied on the front teeth for aesthetic purposes, you may encounter with some level of difficulty in speaking and pronunciation of certain words. Reading out loud and repeating the words and syllables you have difficulty with would suffice to tackle this problem within the shortest possible time.

EATING
You may eat and drink whatever you wish, except too hot and too cold beverages during the initial one or two weeks, as already mentioned above.  Some patients do not use the side on which the bridge is applied.  You should not make such a mistake. Every prosthesis tailored for you is produced to allow you to chew better and crush food between your teeth better.  Therefore, please do not ever avoid or neglect chewing with your prosthetics side.

CHECKS
No matter how problem free your prosthesis could be, please do not avoid to get a check-up, offered free of charge at our clinic, for at least twice a year.
