Crown & Bridge

A crown and bridge are dental restorations used to restore damaged, missing, or decayed teeth, improving both function and appearance. A crown is a cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. Crowns are often used for teeth that have large fillings, are cracked, or are severely decayed. They can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, or metal.

A bridge is a prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. The adjacent teeth, which serve as support for the bridge, are typically reshaped to accommodate crowns that hold the bridge in place. This method restores the ability to chew and speak properly, while also preventing the remaining teeth from shifting. 

Benefit of  a Crown and Bridge:

Restored Functionality

Crowns and bridges help restore normal chewing and biting function, allowing patients to eat and speak comfortably, even after tooth loss or damage.

Improved Aesthetics

Both crowns and bridges are custom-designed to blend with natural teeth, enhancing the appearance of the smile and providing a more attractive, uniform look.

Durability

Made from strong materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal, crowns and bridges are designed to last for many years, offering long-term solutions for damage.

Prevention of Further Dental Problems

Crowns protect damage from further decay, while bridges prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of place, maintaining the overall alignment of the bite.
