Dental crowns and bridges are essential restorative treatments that help repair damaged teeth, replace missing ones, and restore full function to your smile. With advancements in digital dentistry, these restorations are now more precise, durable, and natural-looking than ever. At ADC – The Dental Clinic, Dr. Mohit Dhawan combines his expertise with cutting-edge CAD-CAM technology to deliver crowns and bridges that fit perfectly and enhance long-term oral health.

When Do You Need Crowns?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged tooth. Dr. Dhawan may recommend a crown if you have:

 

* A tooth weakened by decay

* A large filling needing support

* A fractured or worn-down tooth

* A tooth that has undergone root canal treatment

* Cosmetic concerns, such as discoloration or shape correction

 

Crowns protect the remaining tooth structure and restore strength, appearance, and functionality.

When Do You Need Bridges?

Dental Implants

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth between two crowns. You may need a bridge if:

 

* You have gaps from missing teeth

* Chewing has become difficult

* Adjacent teeth are drifting or tilting

* Your facial structure is affected by tooth loss

 

Bridges help maintain proper bite alignment, speech clarity, and facial aesthetics.

How Dr. Mohit Dhawan Uses CAD-CAM Technology for Precision Dentistry

Traditionally, crowns and bridges took multiple appointments, manual impressions, and several rounds of adjustments. Dr. Dhawan’s use of CAD-CAM (Computer-Aided Design & Computer-Aided Manufacturing) has fully transformed this experience.

 

  1. Digital Scanning – No Messy Impressions

 

A high-resolution 3D scanner captures detailed images of your teeth, ensuring exceptional accuracy and comfort.

 

  2. Virtual Designing of Your Crown or Bridge

 

Using CAD software, Dr. Dhawan designs the restoration with precise contours, bite alignment, and aesthetics tailored to your smile.

 

  3. Same-Day Milling & Fabrication

 

The design is sent to an in-clinic milling machine, which carves the crown or bridge from high-quality ceramic—often within the same visit.

 

  4. Perfect Fit & Natural Look

 

The final restoration is polished, fitted, and bonded, ensuring a seamless match in shape, size, and color.
