Restore Your Missing Teeth Permanently - Dental Crowns and Bridges in Karachi
Missing or damaged teeth cause serious problems beyond just appearance issues. When you lose teeth, eating becomes difficult, speaking changes, and remaining teeth start shifting out of place. Dr. Saad Irfan specializes in dental crowns and bridges that restore both function and appearance permanently. His clinic offers various crown materials, including porcelain crowns, zirconia crowns, and metal crowns to match different needs and budgets. Located conveniently in Karachi, patients receive quality restoration work that lasts for decades with proper care.
What are Dental Crowns and Bridges?
Dental crowns and bridges represent two different but related treatments for tooth restoration. A dental crown covers a damaged tooth completely, like putting a cap over it. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by connecting crowns to neighboring teeth for support.
These restorations serve multiple purposes beyond replacing missing structure. Dental crowns protect weak teeth from breaking, improve the appearance of discolored teeth, and restore proper chewing function. Dental bridges prevent remaining teeth from drifting into empty spaces while restoring your ability to eat all foods comfortably.

Patient Eligibility and Treatment Preparation
Dental crowns and bridges work well for most patients with damaged or missing teeth, but certain factors influence treatment success and longevity.
Patients with cracked, broken, or heavily filled teeth benefit from dental crowns. Those missing one to three adjacent teeth are good candidates for dental bridges when supporting teeth are healthy enough.
Adult patients of any age can receive dental crowns and bridges as long as supporting structures remain healthy. Teenage patients need complete jaw development before permanent crown placement.
Healthy gums and supporting bone structures are essential for long-term success. Active gum disease or bone loss must be treated before placing dental crowns and bridges.
Patients with severe teeth grinding or clenching may need bite guards to protect porcelain crowns and zirconia crowns from excessive forces that could cause chipping or fractures.
Success with dental crowns and bridges requires regular dental cleanings, daily brushing and flossing, and avoiding hard foods that could damage restorations.
Patients should understand that dental crowns and bridges require periodic replacement every 15-20 years with normal wear and proper care.

Common Questions
About Crowns and Bridges
Quality dental crowns and bridges last 15-20 years with proper care and regular dental maintenance. Metal crowns often last longer, while porcelain crowns may need replacement sooner due to wear or chipping.
Porcelain crowns and zirconia crowns can be matched precisely to your existing tooth color and translucency. Most people cannot distinguish well-made crowns from natural teeth.
The cost of dental crowns and bridges varies by materials and complexity. Individual dental crowns range from Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 45,000, while dental bridges cost more depending on size and materials used.
Dental crowns and bridges restore full chewing function, allowing normal eating of most foods. Avoid extremely hard items like ice or hard candy that could damage any type of crown material.
Dental crowns are cleaned like natural teeth with regular brushing and flossing. Dental bridges require special floss threaders or water flossers to clean underneath the replacement teeth.
Contact Dr. Saad immediately if dental crowns and bridges feel loose or come off. Keep the restoration safe and avoid chewing on that side until it can be re-cemented or replaced.
