Fixed restorations

Dental crowns and bridges in Amman

A crown covers a tooth that is weak or heavily restored. A bridge replaces a missing tooth by relying on neighbouring teeth. We discuss materials — including zirconia and PFM — based on the tooth’s position, the bite, and appearance, after examining the supporting teeth.

Common reasons

  • A tooth after root canal treatment that needs extra protection
  • A large filling or fracture that weakens the tooth walls
  • Replacing a small gap with a bridge if an implant is not suitable or not desired
  • An older crown that is fractured or has leaking margins

How treatment proceeds

  1. 01Assessment of supporting teeth, gums, and bite.
  2. 02Tooth preparation and an impression or scan, with a temporary restoration when needed.
  3. 03Try-in of the final restoration to review bite and colour.
  4. 04Final cementation and cleaning instructions around crown margins or under a bridge.

Caring for the restoration

Cleaning around the margins helps prevent decay and gum inflammation. Use floss or a floss threader under a bridge as shown in the clinic. Movement or pain on biting should be reviewed.

Medical note

A bridge requires preparation of neighbouring teeth. An implant may be an alternative in some cases. No material is universally “best”; zirconia and PFM each have indications.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between zirconia and PFM?

PFM is a metal coping covered with porcelain. Zirconia is a strong ceramic without visible metal. Strength, space, and appearance guide the choice after examination — not the material name alone.

How long does a crown last?

There is no guaranteed lifespan. Bite, grinding, hygiene, and decay at the margins all matter. Regular reviews help find problems early.
