Crowns and bridges are two dental restoration techniques that can significantly improve your smile, both aesthetically and functionally. This page will explain what crowns and bridges are, how they work, and the benefits they can offer.
What are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown, also sometimes called a cap, is a tooth-shaped covering that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns are used for a variety of purposes, including:
What are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It bridges the gap between the teeth on either side of the missing tooth space. A bridge is made up of two or more crowns (called abutments) placed on the teeth surrounding the gap, and a false tooth (called a pontic) in between. The pontic replaces the missing tooth and restores your smile.
Supporting a dental implant
Crowns are typically made from porcelain, metal, or a combination of both. They are custom-made to fit your specific tooth size and color, ensuring a natural look and a comfortable fit.
