Capabilities of Crowns & Bridges
Crown and bridgework is a highly reliable solution for major dental issues caused by accidents, disease, or wear over time. Using high-grade porcelain crowns or porcelain fused to gold, Dr. Lakhani treats even the most complex cases.
For accidental damage or teeth broken by wear or old fillings, crowns and bridges serve as a durable, long-term option. Many patients also experience unexplained pain in back teeth with large fillings — often caused by hairline cracks. Placing crowns on these teeth relieves discomfort and restores full dental function.
In front teeth, old fillings can weaken structure and create aesthetic concerns from staining or chipping. In these situations, porcelain crowns are often the best choice, especially when veneers are not sufficient. For teeth treated with root canals, crowns are essential to prevent future breakage.
