Restoring Strength, Function, and Natural Smiles

Damaged, weakened, or missing teeth can affect your ability to chew comfortably, speak clearly, and smile with confidence. At Dr. Shivani’s Dental & Aesthetic, we offer custom-made dental crowns and bridges designed to restore the strength, appearance, and function of your teeth—while maintaining a natural, balanced smile.

Our approach focuses on precision, aesthetics, and long-term durability, ensuring results that feel comfortable and look natural.

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns fully cover the visible part of the tooth and are commonly recommended after root canal treatment, large fillings, fractures, or severe tooth wear.

Crowns protect the remaining tooth structure and help it function normally while blending seamlessly with surrounding teeth.

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges help “bridge” the gap left by missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.

Replacing missing teeth is important to prevent shifting of adjacent teeth, bite problems, and jawbone changes.

Types of Crowns & Bridges We Offer

At Dr. Shivani’s Dental & Aesthetic, we provide a variety of crown and bridge options, selected based on clinical needs and aesthetic goals:

  • All-Ceramic / Zirconia Crowns – Highly aesthetic and metal-free, ideal for front and back teeth
  • Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns – Strong and durable with a natural appearance
  • Metal Crowns – Long-lasting and suitable for specific functional needs
  • Implant-Supported Crowns & Bridges – Fixed solutions for missing teeth without affecting neighboring teeth

Each restoration is carefully designed to match your natural tooth color, shape, and bite.

When Are Crowns or Bridges Needed?

Crowns or bridges may be recommended if you have:

  • A tooth weakened by decay or fracture
  • A tooth after root canal treatment
  • Large fillings with minimal natural tooth structure remaining
  • Missing teeth affecting chewing or appearance
  • Excessive tooth wear or cracks
  • Teeth that need aesthetic improvement

Timely restoration helps prevent further damage and maintains oral balance.

The Crown & Bridge Treatment Process

  1. Evaluation & Planning
    We examine your teeth, gums, and bite using clinical assessment and X-rays. Treatment options are discussed clearly before proceeding.
  2. Tooth Preparation
    The affected tooth (or teeth) is shaped to allow proper fitting of the crown or bridge.
  3. Impressions & Temporary Restoration
    Accurate impressions or digital scans are taken, and a temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect the teeth.
  4. Final Placement
    Once the custom-made restoration is ready, it is carefully fitted, adjusted, and cemented for comfort and durability.

Benefits of Crowns & Bridges

  • Restore chewing efficiency and speech
  • Improve appearance and smile harmony
  • Protect weakened teeth
  • Prevent shifting of surrounding teeth
  • Provide long-lasting, fixed solutions

With proper care, crowns and bridges can last many years.

Caring for Crowns & Bridges

Maintaining crowns and bridges is similar to caring for natural teeth:

  • Brush twice daily and floss regularly
  • Use special floss for bridges when advised
  • Avoid biting extremely hard objects
  • Visit the dentist for routine checkups

Good oral hygiene ensures long-term success.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an enlarged prostate, is one of the most frequent urological conditions affecting men, especially above the age of 50. As the prostate gland grows in size, it can begin to squeeze or block the urethra, leading to urinary problems that can significantly affect daily life. While BPH is not cancer and does not increase the risk of prostate cancer, the symptoms can be troubling and often require medical attention.

What is BPH?

BPH is the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. Over time, as the gland grows, it compresses the urethra—the tube that carries urine out of the body—leading to obstruction of urine flow. The exact cause of this enlargement is not known, but hormonal changes with age are believed to play a major role.

Common Symptoms of BPH

Men with BPH may experience one or many of the following symptoms:

  • Difficulty starting urination

  • Weak or interrupted urine stream

  • Frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia)

  • Sudden, urgent need to urinate

  • Incomplete emptying of the bladder

  • Dribbling at the end of urination

  • Burning sensation (if infection develops)

These symptoms may worsen over time, making early evaluation important.

Complications if Untreated

While BPH itself is not dangerous, prolonged obstruction can lead to:

  • Urinary tract infections

  • Acute urinary retention

  • Bladder stones

  • Kidney damage due to back pressure

  • Frequent hospital visits due to urinary problems

Seeking timely treatment prevents long-term complications.

Diagnosis

A complete evaluation includes:

  • Physical examination

  • Digital rectal exam (DRE)

  • Urine test

  • Ultrasound of kidneys and bladder

  • PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test

  • Uroflowmetry (measures urine flow)

These tests help determine the severity of enlargement and the right course of treatment.

Treatment Options for BPH

Treatment depends on the intensity of symptoms and overall health of the patient.

1. Lifestyle Modifications

  • Reducing caffeine and alcohol

  • Avoiding drinking water before bedtime

  • Regular exercise

  • Bladder training techniques

2. Medications

  • Alpha-blockers (relax prostate muscles for easier urine flow)

  • 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (shrink the prostate over time)

  • Combination therapy for better results

3. Minimally Invasive Procedures

These are preferred because of quick recovery and less pain:

  • TURP (Transurethral Resection of Prostate) – Gold standard treatment

  • Laser Prostate Surgery – Holmium/Thulium laser for bloodless removal

  • UroLift System – Lifts prostate tissue to open the urinary channel

  • Prostatic artery embolization

4. Surgical Options

For very large prostates or severe symptoms, open or robotic prostatectomy may be recommended.

Recovery and Prognosis

Most patients experience quick relief of symptoms after treatment. Minimally invasive procedures allow faster recovery, less bleeding, and reduced hospital stay.
