Prosthodontics is a branch of dentistry that uses prostheses such as crowns, dentures, bridges, etc, to restore missing teeth as well as the associated hard/soft tissues. There are four types of Prosthodontics:
Removable Prosthodontics: Bridges, crowns, onlays, veneers
Fixed Prosthodontics: Partial and complete dentures
Implants Prosthodontics: Dental Implants
Maxillofacial Prosthodontics: Speech bulbs, Obturators, Palatal lifts, etc.
Dental bridges and dental crowns belong to the Fixed Prosthodontics branch of Prosthodontics. Fixed prosthodontics uses crowns, onlays, veneers, and bridges to restore teeth. The prosthodontist casts an impression of the patient’s mouth in his laboratory, whereas a dental technician fabricates the required restoration as prescribed by the prosthodontist. The final product is then fixed in the patient’s mouth with the help of various types of cement.

Some people prefer partial dentures, i.e. removable false teeth. Sometimes, crowns and bridges cannot do the job, making dental implants more suitable for you. Implants are surgically fixed in your mouth. With time, the implant fuses with your jawbone and becomes a permanent part. They are usually advised when your teeth are not strong enough to support any fixed prosthodontics.
The Fix Teeth Prices in Pakistan or dental implants are usually higher than those of fixed prosthodontics.

When more than one tooth is missing, resulting in a much larger gap, the restoration used is a dental bridge. The teeth adjacent to the bridge are used to hang/fix the bridge. Several materials and designs can be used to fabricate a dental bridge. The choice of material depends on the function, aesthetics, and gap size. Below are the types of dental bridges:
Tooth decay, injury, and gum diseases are the primary causes of missing teeth. Congenital conditions also result in missing teeth. Dental bridges fill this gap effectively, but your adjacent teeth must be healthy enough to support them. Teeth can only work effectively when they work together. A missing tooth can make your other teeth lose their alignment, which results in pain, chewing problems and bite problems.
Dental bridge fixation would usually take two appointments with the dentist. The procedures include:
Preparation of Abutment Teeth: On your first visit, your dentist will reshape abutment teeth. He will remove a part of the tooth enamel, as well as dentin, to make room for your crown.
Impressions: Your dentist will take a digital scan or impressions of the teeth. Then, a scan or a mould will be used to model your bridge, crowns, and false teeth. A temporary bridge will be fixated in your mouth in the meantime till your bridge is prepared.
Permanent Bridge: In your second or final visit, your dentist will replace the temporary bridge with your permanent bridge. He will make necessary adjustments so that the bridge sits comfortably.
Dental bridge prices in Pakistan can vary from type to type and from place to place. Dental bridge costs can vary from Rs.8,000 to Rs.20,000 for porcelain bridges per unit. Meanwhile, the price of zirconium bridges ranges from Rs.28,000 to Rs.40,000 per unit. Dental bridge costs in Pakistan also vary from city to city. Karachi is more expensive than Lahore, where the same teeth bridge can cost 5-8 thousand more.
The cost will also depend on the condition of your teeth and the dental clinic you choose. Artificial teeth price, when it comes to partial dentures, can vary from Rs.80,000 to Rs. 220,000 depending on which type you choose, such as acrylic, flexible partial, or cast partial dentures. Artificial Teeth Set Price for complete dentures can vary from Rs.50,000 to Rs.220,000 in Pakistan.
Crowns are commonly referred to as “Caps”, and they cover the complete tooth or a part of it. Crowns restore the strength, appearance, size, and shape of the teeth. Dental crowns are cemented on your teeth, covering the visible part of your teeth. Various materials are used for making crowns depending on their function/aesthetics, the preference of the patient, and the condition of the tooth. These include:
Fixation of a dental crown will typically require two visits to your dentist.
Discomfort /Sensitivity: A new crown may turn out to be sensitive right after the crown fitting. This might be because of the anaesthesia, or your tooth might still have a nerve. This might go away in a couple of days. Pain during biting may also mean that your crown is too high, and you may want to see your dentist again.
Chipped Crown: Crowns that are entirely made from porcelain can suffer chipping. Small chips may be repaired, but large chips would require the crown to be replaced.
Loose Crown: Sometimes cement can get loose or wash out. This will make your crown loose, and you will have to contact your dentist.
The Dental crown price in Pakistan varies from case to case, clinic to clinic, and city to city. It also depends on the type of crown you choose. Some materials cost more than others. Dental crown cost for pure porcelain crowns can vary from Rs.8,000 to Rs.20,000 per crown, while that for zirconium crowns can vary from Rs.28,000 to Rs.40,000.
The price of crowns for teeth in Pakistan also varies in different cities. Karachi and Islamabad have relatively expensive dental services and products. Teeth cap price is also different in different clinics. The most expensive ones are being sold by clinics that have established a name for themselves. The fixed bridge teeth price is usually higher than that of crowns or bridges.
It is much easier and healthier to chew with dental bridges. Missing teeth will not allow you to chew or bite properly. Once your bridge is properly fixed, you can eat anything comfortably.
If you take good care of your bridge, it will last for years without any complications. The bridge can only fail if the adjacent teeth suffer decay or the cement loses cohesion. If your bridge becomes loose but your adjacent teeth are healthy, your dentist might re-attach the same bridge with new cement.
Modern dental bridges can last for up to 5-7 years. However, with proper care, your dental bridge can last for more than 10 years.
If your teeth are missing, especially your front teeth, you will find it hard to speak properly. A properly fixated dental bridge will improve your speech.
On average, a dental crown can last from 5 to 15 years, depending on the quality of the crown, the skill of the dentist, and your hygiene habits. If you look after your dental crowns by maintaining proper hygiene and good eating habits, your crowns will last longer. Regular brushing, dental floss, mouthwash, etc, will keep your dental crowns clean and strong.
No, we use proper anaesthetics to numb your oral cavity to ensure you do not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure.
Crowns can be replaced many times, given that the health of your tooth is adequate. Our dentists can guide you on this matter after inspecting your tooth.
It is important to avoid chewing or eating any hard food for at least 24 hours after getting your crowns. After that, you can treat your crowns as normal teeth.
From orthodontic specialists to general dentistry experts, our team is your one-stop solution for all types of dental problems.
