What are Dental Crowns & Bridges?
Dental crowns are made of porcelain and are used to cover the affected tooth, restoring its function and appearance at the same time. It can also be attached to a dental implant to replace a single missing tooth. A dental bridge, on the other hand, is composed of artificial teeth that have the goal of closing the gap caused by several missing teeth. It also has two crowns – one on each end – that are attached to the tooth on both sides of the gap to keep the restoration firmly in place. Dental bridges and dental crowns are custom-made to match the shade of your teeth to ensure that you’ll have a natural-looking, beautiful smile after the treatments.

What issues can be improved with a dental crown?
- Fractured tooth – A tooth can be strengthened with a dental crown to prevent it from completely getting fractured. However, if the tooth is already fractured, it can also be restored with a dental crown treatment.
- Irregularly shaped tooth – An unnaturally shaped tooth’s function and appearance can be improved with a dental crown. The crown will cover the affected tooth, so it performs better and looks more aesthetically pleasing to make the smile look more beautiful.
- Tooth restoration after the root canal – After a root canal treatment, a dental crown may be needed to restore the tooth’s strength and appearance. The crown will cover the treated tooth and protect it against further damage and infection.
How do dental bridges work as missing teeth solutions?
A dental bridge is used to close the space that’s formed when natural teeth are lost. The artificial teeth are fixed in place with the help of abutments that are anchored onto the natural teeth or dental implants on both sides of the tooth loss gap. The smile’s function and appearance are both restored when the dental bridge closes the space caused by missing teeth problems.
