Crown & Bridge

Definition:

  • A crown is a cap placed over a damaged tooth.
  • A bridge is used to replace missing teeth by anchoring onto adjacent teeth.

While a crown is used to cover an existing tooth, a dental bridge is used to fill in the missing space caused by one or more lost teeth. A bridge is made up of one or more false teeth with one crown on either end of the bridge.

Crowns and bridges restore dental function, prevent further damage, and improve appearance.
