What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?
Dental crowns and bridges are two popular treatments for fixing teeth.
- Dental Crowns: Think of a crown as a cap that covers a damaged or decayed tooth. It helps make the tooth look and work like new again. Crowns are used when a tooth is weak, has a big filling, or needs extra protection.
- Dental Bridges: A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. It involves putting crowns on the teeth next to the gap and placing a false tooth in between. This helps fill the gap and complete your smile.
Understanding Dental Crowns & Bridges
Types of Dental Crowns
- Porcelain: Matches the natural color of your teeth for a seamless look.
- Metal: Provides strength and durability; less visible.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal: Combines the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain.
- Resin: Less expensive but may wear down faster.
Procedure for Getting a Dental Crown
- Initial consultation and examination.
- Tooth preparation and impressions.
- Placement of a temporary crown.
- Final fitting and placement of the permanent crown.
Aftercare and Maintenance
- Maintain good oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing.

Types of Dental Bridges
- Traditional: Anchored by crowns on adjacent teeth.

- Maryland (Resin-Bonded): Uses a metal or porcelain framework to support the false tooth.
- Implant-Supported: Supported by dental implants rather than crowns.
