About Crowns & Bridges
A dental crown resembles a cap that is used to cover the entire tooth to restore its healthy use and appearance. The crown is created to perfectly match the colour and overall appearance of the rest of your teeth, so your smile still looks very natural even after the crown is attached. A crown can be attached to a dental implant to solve a missing tooth problem.
A dental bridge is made up of several false teeth and is used to close a smile gap caused by tooth loss. These fixed partial dentures are attached to the remaining natural teeth on either side of the gap. The dental bridge can also be attached to dental implant to solve tooth loss in a permanent manner.
How Crowns & Bridges Work
The dental crown can be made of either metal or porcelain, with porcelain being the more popular choice nowadays due to the material’s durability and more natural appearance. The crown is manufactured to match the colour and shape of the rest of the remaining teeth, so the smile looks natural after the crown is attached. The dental crown restores the healthy appearance and use of the affected tooth and can also be used to replace a lost tooth.
A dental bridge fills in the gap caused by several missing teeth.
It is made up of a few false teeth corresponding to the lost ones and created to match the appearance of the remaining teeth. The bridge can either be attached to dental implants, or to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. This missing teeth solution restores the proper use and form of the smile after tooth loss.
Conditions Treated by Crowns & Bridges
- Decayed/damaged tooth – the affected tooth can be restored to its normal function and appearance with the help of a dental crown. The tooth replacement covers the entire tooth for protection and restoration (functional and aesthetic).
- Single tooth loss – a dental crown can be used along with a dental implant to replace one missing tooth. The implant and crown are placed in the location of the tooth loss to make the smile complete again.
- Multiple tooth loss – several missing teeth is solved with a dental bridge, which works by filling in the gap caused by the tooth loss. The bridge can also be attached to dental implants to provide a long-lasting missing teeth solution.
