Crowns are used to cover and protect damaged teeth, while bridges are used to fill gaps left by missing teeth.

The benefits of crown and bridge treatment include improved oral health, a better bite, restored confidence in your smile, and improved speech and chewing abilities.

Additionally, the crowns and bridges are designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, resulting in a more natural-looking smile.

Pain Management During Crown and Bridge Treatment

Crown and bridge treatment is typically performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort during the procedure. In some cases, a sedative may also be used to help patients relax. Your dentist will discuss pain management options with you before the procedure and will take steps to ensure your comfort during the procedure.

After the procedure, you may experience some discomfort or sensitivity, but this should resolve within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers or prescription pain medication can be used to manage any discomfort.

It is important to follow your dentist’s post-operative instructions and attend any scheduled follow-up appointments to ensure a successful outcome and minimize the risk of complications.
