Bridges

What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?

Dental crowns and bridges are versatile restorative dental treatments designed to restore the function and aesthetics of your smile. Whether you have a damaged or missing tooth, these custom-made prosthetics can provide a durable and natural-looking solution.

Dental Crowns

These tooth-shaped caps are placed over a tooth that has been injured or decayed to restore its size, shape, strength, and appearance. Additionally, crowns can be used to secure bridges in place or to cover dental implants.

Dental Bridges

Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between adjacent teeth. They consist of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored in place by dental crowns placed on the surrounding natural teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a restoration that covers the visible portion of a tooth. Crowns may be used to restore teeth that are significantly damaged, cracked, worn, weakened, or have undergone certain dental treatments. They can help restore the tooth’s shape and function and may also change its appearance.
2. When might I need a dental crown?
A dental crown may be recommended when a tooth has a large filling, significant decay, a crack, substantial wear, or has been weakened by previous treatment. Crowns may also be used as part of a dental implant or bridge. Your dentist can determine whether a crown or another restorative option may be appropriate.
3. What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. A traditional bridge commonly uses crowns on neighbouring teeth to support one or more artificial replacement teeth. Other designs may be considered depending on the location of the missing tooth and your oral health.
4. What is the difference between a dental bridge and a dental implant?
A dental bridge replaces a missing tooth by using nearby teeth or other supports, while a dental implant is placed in the jawbone and supports a restoration independently. Each option has different clinical requirements, benefits, and limitations, so the appropriate choice depends on your oral health and treatment needs.
5. How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
The lifespan of crowns and bridges varies between patients and depends on factors such as oral hygiene, the health of supporting teeth and gums, biting forces, teeth grinding, diet, and regular dental care. These restorations can function for many years but may eventually require repair or replacement.
