Navigating the world of dental restorations can sometimes feel a bit daunting. Properly understanding the options available to you can make all the difference in restoring the integrity of your bite and the aesthetics of your smile. We’re looking here at dental crowns and bridges and the various types of each that are available to meet anyone’s dental restoration needs:
Types of Dental Crowns
Porcelain – known for its natural translucency that precisely replicates the appearance of natural teeth
Metal – crafted from durable alloys like gold or silver for durability and longevity
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) – a versatile solution that balances strength and aesthetics
Types of Dental Bridges
Traditional – artificial teeth that are stably anchored between existing natural teeth using dental cement
Maryland – when traditional anchors aren't suitable, Maryland bridges are held in place by wings bonded to adjacent teeth
Implant-supported – dental bridges that are attached to dental implants; excellent for providing stability and preserving jawbone density
