natural tooth next to the gap.

Implant Supported Bridges Implant-Supported Bridges:

This type of bridge would be an ideal option for use if you are missing at least 3 teeth.

For dental crown phuket, The most common use and the latest in dentistry would be:

All ceramic or porcelain, normally deployed in esthetics cases since it can offer better color, translucency and appearance due to its lack of metal content.

 

Zirconium is yet another material for dental crowns as well as bridges. This material has durability, close resemblance texture and appearance to a nature tooth. It is also common and normal due to its ready integration with the gum and other teeth beating all the other materials.

Porcelain fused to metal alloy (PFM) is another choice of material that has been used for long before the others emerged. The use of porcelain fused to metal provides a tougher repair than porcelain would do alone.

Gold alloy is the best material for any type of tooth repair. It is highly bio-compatible with the gum. It has fracture and wear resistance and it does not wear away the opposite tooth enamel. The only undesirable thing is the color which will never be identical with the natural tooth color.

The dentist will give you another local anesthesia to detach the temporary restoration.

The dentist will then deliver the final restoration, dental crown Phuket or dental bridges Phuket, ensuring the proper fitting and correct functioning.
