Crowns and bridges are types of oral prosthetic fixtures that get cemented onto your existing teeth or implants.
A crown is often made of durable porcelain and provides protection and reinforcement to compromised teeth. You usually get a crown to cover a damaged tooth or implant.
Bridges are also commonly made of porcelain and act as a false-tooth set between two crowns. Bridges are used to fill the gap of a missing tooth.
Why are dental crowns used?
Beyond strengthening your damaged tooth, dental crowns can also enhance the shape, alignment, and appearance of the tooth. Crowns can also be fit on top of your dental implant, allowing us to create an identical shape and structure of a natural tooth.
Dental crowns can be used to:
Protect a weak tooth from cracking or fracturing
Replace a large filling when not enough of your original tooth remains
Restore a broken tooth
Cover a dental implant
Attach a bridge
Cover a discolored, stained, or poorly shaped tooth
Cover a tooth that’s had a root canal
When is a dental bridge used?
Our team may recommend a dental bridge if you’re missing one tooth or multiple teeth.
The gaps left behind by missing teeth will ultimately cause your remaining teeth to move or rotate into the empty spaces. Such gaps can result in a misaligned bite and cause imbalances that could lead to oral issues such as gum disease.
Some of the benefits of a dental bridge include:
Maintaining the natural shape of your face
Restoring and improving your smile
Restoring your ability to speak and chew
Properly distributing your bite force
Preventing your remaining teeth from shifting
