Dental crowns and bridges are two of the most popular and highly regarded long-term dental restorations. Each of these solutions plays a vital role in helping individuals who’ve suffered from tooth loss preserve their oral health and restore smile aesthetics.
Dental crowns also referred to as "caps," are custom-fitted covers, typically made of materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal, that encase damaged or weakened teeth to restore their strength, shape, and natural look. Crowns can also sit atop dental implants and restore the form, function, and aesthetics of a patient’s bite and smile.
Dental bridges are dental prosthetic devices comprised of artificial teeth (usually made of ceramic) that, as their name suggests, “bridge the gap” created in a person’s mouth by tooth loss. Bridges are typically anchored to adjacent remaining natural teeth or dental implants in a patient’s mouth. Dental bridges restore bite function, and smile aesthetics, and help maintain facial structure. They also prevent surrounding teeth from shifting.
Both crowns and bridges are designed to match the size, color, and shape of natural teeth, ensuring seamless integration, enhanced oral functionality, and a renewed sense of confidence.
