Crowns and Bridges
Treatment in Adajan, Surat
Your teeth deserve restorations that don’t just look good but also last. At NxtDent Dental Clinic, we combine modern materials and minimally invasive dentistry to deliver results that are functional, durable, and natural-looking.
1. Dental Crowns (Caps)
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns restore strength, function, and natural appearance when a tooth is severely worn, fractured, root canal treated, or heavily filled.
At NxtDent, crowns are carefully designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth.

2. Dental Onlays – A Smarter Crown Alternative
Onlays are partial-coverage restorations that strengthen and protect a tooth while conserving more of its natural structure. They are often a smarter choice than full crowns when only part of the tooth is damaged.
Benefits of Onlays:
- Preserve more healthy tooth structure
- Strengthen cracked or weakened teeth
- Provide excellent durability and aesthetics
- Reduce risk of future tooth fracture
Partial-coverage restorations like onlays protect your tooth while keeping it as natural as possible.
Types of Materials Used
- Zirconia: Extremely strong and durable, ideal for back teeth and patients with heavy bite forces (like bruxers).
- e.max (Lithium Disilicate): Excellent translucency and aesthetics, perfect for front teeth and any area where appearance matters most.
Recommendation: Choose e.max for all visible teeth for aesthetics, and Zirconia for back teeth where strength is critical.
3. Dental Bridges
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the adjacent natural teeth. While effective, bridges require trimming down healthy teeth, which may weaken them over time.
The Better Alternative over a Bridge - Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts that replace missing tooth roots and are restored with a crown on top. Unlike bridges, implants don’t damage adjacent teeth and help maintain jaw bone health.
Side-by-Side Comparison: Bridge vs Implant
| Aspect | Dental Bridge | Dental Implant |
|---|---|---|
| Tooth Preparation | Sacrifices two healthy teeth by trimming them down to support the bridge. | No grinding of nearby teeth. Preserves natural tooth structure. |
| Bone Health | Does not stimulate the jaw bone → gradual bone loss. | Stimulates jaw bone (osseointegration) → maintains bone & facial structure. |
| Longevity | Lasts 7–10 years. May need replacement. | Lasts 20+ years with proper care. Long-term solution. |
| Oral Hygiene | Harder to clean under bridge. Food lodgment is common. | Easy to clean like natural teeth. Lower gum risk. |
| Aesthetics | Looks natural but may leave a gap between gum and bridge. | Seamlessly blends with natural teeth. Maintains gum contour. |
| Chewing Efficiency | Restores function but are not as strong as natural roots. | Restores full bite force. Functions like a natural tooth. |
| Cost (Short vs Long-Term) | Lower upfront cost but higher replacement cost later. If abutment teeth decay or break, 2 implants may be needed instead of 1. | Higher upfront cost but cheaper in the long run as it prevents damage to other teeth. |
| Preventive Value | Can lead to caries/fracture of abutment teeth → more treatment needed. | Protects adjacent teeth, making it a smarter preventive choice. |
Conclusion: A dental implant is the more natural, long-lasting, bone-preserving, and cost-effective option. It protects your healthy teeth and often turns out cheaper in the long run compared to bridges.
