Dental Crowns & Bridges 

Dental crowns and bridges are dental restorations that are used to replace missing or damaged teeth. These restorations are common in dentistry and can help to restore the appearance, function, and health of your teeth.

What are Dental Crowns and Bridges?

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to provide strength and protect it from further damage. Crowns are typically made of porcelain or ceramic, and they are designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth.


Dental bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of two dental crowns that are placed on the teeth on either side of the gap and an artificial tooth (or teeth) that is suspended between the two crowns. Bridges can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and metal alloys.

How do Dental Crowns and Bridges Work?

Dental crowns and bridges work by restoring the function and appearance of damaged or missing teeth. In the case of a crown, it is placed over a damaged tooth to provide support and protection. The crown is shaped to fit the tooth precisely and is cemented into place.


In the case of a bridge, it is placed in the gap where one or more teeth are missing. The dental crowns are placed over the teeth on either side of the gap, and the artificial tooth (or teeth) is suspended between them. This creates a functional and aesthetically pleasing replacement for the missing teeth.
